‘Pot “Plant Mums for Shading 
The varieties in the following list have been found to Iend themselves satisfactorily to pot 
plant culture. These varieties have been chosen because they are adaptable to black cloth shad- 
ing as well as for normal flowering, thus giving a flowering range from August 1 to November 20 
with relatively few varieties. 
There are other varieties that may be used for pot plant culture, however varieties that 
flower after November 20 are not recommended for the very early shadings. 
CULTURE 
Soil—Sterilized. Field soil with small addi- 
tion of manure. 
Planting—Three cuttings into 51-inch pot 
directly from propagating bench on dates 
given. One additional cutting for each 
¥-inch increase in pot size. If these are 
spaced well, a better balanced plant will 
result than if planted together in center of 
pot. 
Pinching—Three pinches. First pinch ap- 
proximately 15 days after planting. Second 
pinch approximately 30 days after planting. 
The third and last pmch controls height of 
plant. Soft pinching Is satisfactory. Hard 
pinch when the last pinch ts delayed until 
after shadmg. Example: Yellow Beauty 
when shaded June Ist and pinched June 11th. 
Shading—Same procedure as for cut flow- 
ers. Black cloth should be new or in best of 
condition for very early shadings to avoid 
delayed and uneven blooming. When pos- 
sible take cloth off at night, replacing before 
daylight.

E. Disbudding 
Pompons—Remove center bud except 
on the Button types. This gives better 
spacing to the remaining flowers. Also the 
center bud generally matures earlier than 
the surrounding buds, giving the appearance 
of irregular blooming and premature aging. 
Remove this bud as early as Is convenient. 
Disbuds—Disbudding must be done 
early, late disbudding results in small flow- 
ers and weak and elongated stems directly 
below the flowers. 
F. Height of Plants 
Pompons in 5'%-1n. or 6-in. pots—11 in.-
