Everybody Grows MUMS 
Do you make money on them, or is it a catch 
crop just to keep the benches filled? Too frequently 
mums are bought with little thought and even less 
planning. 
The mistakes made by many a florist in ordering 
the wrong varieties for his growing facilities or 
market, cost him more than all the mum cuttings 
he plants. Maybe it is because he’s too busy with 
the rush of spring:—sometimes it is so late that the 
choice is limited: — but anyway, ordering from a 
source qualified to guide him, he could buy ALL his 
cuttings, — save money, — and produce a more 
profitable crop. 
MUMS DO PAY — when the right varieties are 
planted in the right place. Do you know the best 
spacing for the varieties you grow? — and the best 
time to pinch them in order to get the best bud at 
the right time on standards, and the best sprays in 
pompons? 
Skideisky Pioneers Again 
This is the first time to our knowledge that such 
vital information is being made available to ali 
florists. 
Following our policy of cooperation, we have 
boiled down this information, and gladly share it 
with you in condensed form. This booklet is a com- 
posite result of information gathered by our own 
staff, and represents years of survey and research 
by experienced men who are trained to know. The 
history of S. S. Skidelsky & Co. proves that growers 
do appreciate our interest in their problems. 
We are offering these SUGGESTIONS in a sincere 
effort to help you produce better chrysanthemums 
However, they are not to be construed as INSTRUC- 
TIONS, implying that it is the only way to grow 
mums. Other systems have likewise produced good 
results, but these suggestions are based on success- 
ful results of growers whose ability is highly re- 
spected. These tips have been tried, — and work. 
It costs no more to buy Blue Diamond cuttings 
that are guaranteed to be clean, healthy, and well- 
rooted, — and delivered when you want them. 
Buy from men who know. Test BLUE DIAMOND 
service. Give S, S. Skidelsky & Co. your next order.
