DEFEND TO-MORROW TO-DAY! 
He’s away fighting your battles and you're going to 
quit? No Siree! Our boys are coming back to see 
their greenhouses operating in full swing. The least 
we can do for them is to “Keep ‘em rolling” ‘til they 
get back to their jobs. 
Casualties have been high among catalogs. Uncle 
Sam said “reduce!’’ We have; but feel justified in 
our effort and the expense involved to give our 
industry this information to save labor—material— 
and produce better flowers. Waste must be elim- 
inated—labor conserved—efficiency stepped up and 
quality maintained. 
The mistakes made by many a florist in ordering 
the wrong varieties of Mums for his growing facili- 
ties or market, cost him more than the value of ALL 
the cuttings he plants. 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 sorts are planted in 
the right places. Do you know the best spacing for 
each variety you grow? — and the best time to 
pinch them for best results? 
Last year S.S.S. & Co. was the first to make this 
vital information available to ALL florists. We were 
swamped with praises for our “concise’—"clear’’— 
“informative and profitable” tables on mum culture. 
Again it was proved that growers do appreciate 
our interest in their problems. This hand-book is a 
composite of helpful information gathered by our 
own staff, and represents years of survey and re- 
search by experienced men. 
Easter is late. Bench space is valuable. You can- 
not afford the labor—time—space—or facilities to 
do the efficient job we are equipped to do for you. 
And delivery when you can properly handle them.
