Do Mums Pay? 
Not unless you get a clean vigorous growth into them, get much of the work 
done with unskilled help, and use good, not necessarily the newest varieties. We 
find our cold house idea increases the quality and reduces costs. We also find that 
shading for early flowers pays, and we are interested, too, in the possibilities of a 
kraft paper instead of cloth for shading. We have been growing mums a long time 
and are at your service. GEO, J„ BALL. 
The Chrysanthemum Society of America 
If there are but two florists in a community, they will, if they are 
going to flourish, get together. To prosper we must exchange ideas 
and stabilize the prices of our product. If we won’t we mustn’t blame 
a paternalistic government for trying to compel us to do so. This co¬ 
operative spirit, of course, extends to the specialists in our business. 
Shading for early flowers and greatly improved varieties is run¬ 
ning the annual value of Chrysanthemums into millions of dollars. 
And,—do you realize that this interest has been fostered and pro¬ 
moted to what it is today by the "Chrysanthemum Society of America,” 
and that this Society was established 56 years ago? Its annual exhibi¬ 
tion and meeting is the authoritative Chrysanthemum occasion of the 
year. To keep its members in close touch with the latest information 
on culture and varieties, the Society issues a quarterly bulletin. Your 
interest in Chrysanthemums will profit by receiving this bulletin and 
going along wih us. If not already a member, fill in the following and 
mail it to the Society’s Secy., Arno Nehrling, 300 Massachusetts Avenue, 
Boston, Massachusetts, or to—Yours Truly. GEO. J. BALL.
