16 SPRING LIST 1942. 
"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 or paper, that light will not filter thru; about four or five 
o’clock in the afternoon and removing at seven o’clock in the morn- 
ing shortens the daylight several hours and considerably hastens 
their maturity. Cease shading when buds shows color. 
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. Successive plantings may be made every 10 days 
for continuous blooms until the early "Mums appear at their normal 
flowering period. 
The varieties listed below have been tried and found to respond.
