The matter of quality is of prime importance in any 
crop we grow. Second-grade stock is unprofitable these 
days, especially in Chrysanthemums. There are three 
phases to growing better mums. Good growing methods 
is an important one, so is starting with clean, vigorous 
stock. Of prime importance is the use of improved or 
the better kind. Cost of growing them is not greater 
than is that of inferior ones, and the difference in returns 
is frequently the profit. 
We realize that the behavior of varieties varies in dif¬ 
ferent sections, so does the preference for forms and 
colors. However, certain kinds are standard and good 
everywhere. In our notes on varieties in the last pages of 
this catalogue, we suggest some that we are certain will 
be found valuable. We are glad to be of further service 
along this line, and please bear in mind, that there is a sav¬ 
ing on orders placed two months in advance of delivery. 
Please submit to us a list of your mum requirements. 
The last pages of this catalogue are used for a descrip¬ 
tion of our method of black cloth shading for September 
flowering. Chances are it will interest you.
