E ALL know growing mums for the wholesale market for profit 
requires careful planning beforehand. The cuttings should be made 
at the proper time; and you should be able to take the required number at 
one cutting, or at one time. Planting a variety because you happen to 
have the stock plants is not good business when it does not fit in with the 
varieties selected in your carefully laid plans. This is one move that helps 
to reduce your margin of profit. 
Possibly, due to the pressure of other work, you have lost a portion of 
your stock plants which usually happen to be your better varieties, or you 
neglected to keep your crop clean. Then, after considerable spraying 
you clean it up only to find that by so doing you have hardened the 
plants to the extent that they do not readily start, and then in most cases 
you probably wind up buying the stock you need, or a large portion of it. 
It is, of course, a debatable question whether it pays to buy all your 
stock. Each year more and more growers feel that it does for the follow- 
ing reasons. 
The specialist, who grows mums only, is constantly on the alert for in- 
sects. He is always improving varieties by careful rouging to build up the 
type and color; and is fighting the many diseases mums are susceptible to 
along scientific lines with trained plant pathologists.: His business is 
growing mums only, and he always takes the cuttings at the proper time. 
By buying from the specialist you can plan your crop to exactly fit your. 
requirements. If your order is placed at the proper time you are reason- 
ably assured of delivery on the date you wish to plant the stock, and 
because of this you can eliminate at least one operation by planting 
directly to the bench.
