Cultural Suggestions 
Generally speaking, all varieties of mums and 
pompons do best when pinched for the last time one 
hundred days before flowering. By doing this, the 
possibility of weak necks is practically removed, 
and labor is saved on disbudding since it usually 
eliminates the first set of (crown) buds. However, 
no mums should be pinched in any case, later then 
August 10. The last pinch indicated in our catalog, 
is the most important. Earlier pinches should be 
timed three weeks apart (figuring backwards) from

TABLE TO DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF PLANTS 
REQUIRED FOR A GIVEN SPACE 
the date of the LAST pinch. NOT from the date of 
planting. 
Standard spacing of eight inches between rows 
is assumed throughout the list. 
Maintain sixty to sixty-five degrees nights until 
October 10, when buds will have set. A cold check 
before October 10, stops buds from setting, — which 
is the cause of much blindness in mums. 
WHAT TO DO WHEN THE CUTTINGS ARRIVE 
(1) Unpack immediately upon arrival. 
(2) Check the quantities against your invoice. 
(3) Puncture the paper on the bottom of each bundle 
and immerse the bundle in water for five or ten 
seconds. 
(4) Stand them upright in flats with the tops of the 
plants exposed to AIR and LIGHT. Leave them 
in this room for several hours. This will freshen 
the plants, swell the roots and enable them to 
start off with a minimum of wilting. 
(5) Set the plants as shallow as possible keeping 
in mind to have the roots well covered with soil. 
(6) The first watering is very important. Water im- 
mediately after planting and water thoroughly. 
(7) Give a light spray two or three times each day 
if weather is bright and warm. 
(8) If the above steps are fully followed, shading 
in most cases can be eliminated. However, in 
very severe weather or other unusual circum- 
stances, shading the glass for a few days until 
plants are established is helpful. As soon as 
plants have formed new roots and established 
themselves, remove shade at once.
