'MUMS FOR SHADING 
The purpose of shading is to force the plants to set buds earlier. 
’Mums are classed as a short day plant, thus by covering them with 
black cloth about four or five o’clock in the afternoon and removing 
at seven o’clock in the morning shortens the daylight several hours 
and considerably hastens their maturity. 
This treatment will generally bring them to bloom about one 
month earlier than their normal flowering season. To obtain these 
results planting and pinching should be advanced by one month to 
six weeks. Shading for earliest flowers from earliest varieties should 
start early in July. 
The varieties listed below have been tried and found to respond 
well and produce good saleable flowers when grown under shade.
