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 pitched in any case, later than 
August 10. The last pinch indicated in our catalog, 
is the most important. Earlier pinches should be 
timed three weeks apart (figuring backwards) from 
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.

WHEN THE CUTTINGS ARRIVE 
Check the quantities against your invoice. 
Set the plants as shallow as possible keeping in 
mind to have the roots well covered with soil. 
The first watering is very important. Water im- 
mediately after planting and water thoroughly. 
Give a light spray two or three times each day 
if weather is bright and warm. 
If the above steps are fully followed, shading in 
most cases can be eliminated. However, in very 
severe weather or other unusual circumstances, 
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
