GENERAL INFORMATION 
My plants are grown in the open garden here at No. 7 James Avenue, 
Montgomery, Ala., and I personally select, label and pack each order. 
Shipments can be made earlier than the middle of April, but except for 
the southern portion of the United States earlier shipments are not desirable. 
However, if desired shipments can be made from March 1st on. 
Each order of plants will be dipped in a nicotine and rotenone spray 
mixture immediately prior to packing, which eliminates even the possibility 
of any insect pest. 
Mimeographed cultural directions will be included in each package of 
plants shipped. 
Bud selection and blooming dates are for this locality and must be 
taken as approximations only. Further north they will be advanced, and 
delayed as you go south. A variety will be matured and gone here by the time 
it is in bloom in New Orleans. 
Unusually hot weather in September and October will lighten the colors? 
of most mums — particularly the pinks, and this should be borne in mind 
when ordering the early varieties. As an example, year before last the old 
standard pink ENCHANTRESS was nearly white, due to unusually hot sun 
in October. Mid-season and later varities are not usually affected. 
As a general rule varieties maturing before the latter part of October 
are not satifactory for the southern portion of the United States — the sun is 
too hot in September and early October.
