Shading Mums for Early Flowering 
LARGE FLOWERING, POMPONS, ANEMONES AND SINGLES 
Shading of Mums for early flowering is done 
simply by placing a light-impervious black cloth 
over the plants daily from 5 p.m. to 7 a.m. Since 
tt takes from eight to nine weeks for the plants 
to bloom after the process is started, the begin- 
ning time is readily determined. Thus, July 1 
shading wil! bring the crop in from August 25- 
September 1. Successive shadings at weekly in- 
tervals will give you the same variety in bloom for 
a long period of time. July 15 shading should hit 
the market perfectly, when some scarcity usually 
exists. An occasional skip of a day during this 
period will do no harm. 
To start shading after August 15 ts practically 
useless since the days begin to shorten constder- 
ably. In case of Pompons, retain the shade until 
buds show color, while with standards, shading 
may stop when buds reach the size of a dime. 
The use of cloth with pinholes or one through 
which more than 2 foot candles of light will pene- 
trate, will not give satisfaction. The timing will 
be off and imperfect flowers may results.
