Mums 
Predictions for the coming season are diffi- 
cult to make, yet certain trends stand out. 
This fall, with our enormous war production 
hitting its full stride, unemployment due to 
industry change-over should be at its lowest. 
With good wages, despite heavy taxes, flowers 
will play an important role in our every day 
life. Hence we feel that pompons and disbuds 
especially should command a ready market. 
To this must be added the fact that Aster 
cloth used so extensively on the Pacific Coast 
is no longer available in quantity, which means 
that California Mums should not cut as much 
of a factor as in the past. The evacuation of 
aliens from vital areas in California may also 
have its effect on Mum production. Further- 
more, many growers of shaded Pompons under 
cloth in the Midwest and East were likewise 
unable to buy cloth. All this seems to add up 
to the fact that those who are fortunate in 
possessing the Aster cloth, could at least plant 
as much as usual and perhaps even more. 
Under favorable conditions it is possible to 
srow good outdoor stock without Aster cloth.

Quality—To produce quality it is essential 
that plants be set out as early as possible, that 
verticillium free cuttings be used when avail- 
able, that pest control measures be practiced 
effectively, that fewer stems (not more than 
six) be left to a plant, that overfertilization 
be avoided. Quality pays.

Hardy Garden Mums 
Many people are now becoming interested 
in hardy Mums for their gardens. During the 
past few years some excellent varieties have 
been introduced. The types available now are 
hardy in gardens quite far north. This year 
we add to the varieties offered in our Mum 
catalog five of the new Bristol introductions. 
Don’t overlook this item. It is a profitable 
addition to your Spring business. Get the 
cuttings in April, pot them in 2'4-inch and 
have them ready for selling to customers to 
plant outdoors in May. 
If you haver’t our catalog, ask for one. There 
are many worthwhile bits of information in 
this catalog including a valuable article by 
Professor Alex Laurie of Ohio State University 
regarding the culture of “Chrysanthemum 
Pot Plants.” 
For Easter 1943 
Easter next year will be late, April 25. Two 
vood varieties of HyprRaNGEAS will be Mer- 
VEILLE for the light red and Reauta for the 
white.
