ABOUT THE POT PLANTS 
Potted Mums are a special matter. These 
offered are technically handled throughout 
their entire growing period in our greenhouses. 
First bound, than cut back time after time; 
yours are literally bursting with lush, soft 
breaks that grow on to produce the final plant 
of perfection at its maturity with you. Don’t 
hesitate to plant them spaced 18” to 3’ apart 
for cut flowers or specimen plant sales, or to 
pot them in sixes and eights for counter sales 
with little attention other than letting them 
grow as they have a will to do.
