Shading Mums for 
This is generally practiced now by many growers in a satisfac¬ 
tory way, covering with black cloth about 5 P.M. and removing 
same 7 A.M. Do not use a poor quality cloth that tears easily 
because it allows too much light to penetrate. A cloth termed a 
2-foot candle or less is best suited. 
For Pompons, continue shading until latest bud shows color 
and the majority of flowers are quite well developed. For Large- 
flowering Commercial Varieties, shading can be discontinued after 
all flowering buds have attained about 3/£-inch diameter.
