We Specialize 
We do not dabble along trying to grow many kinds of 
plants, we specialize. We grow one big crop and grow it 
well. We do not think our better grown sure-to-bloom 
Hardy ’Mum plants can be equaled anywhere. We have 
excellent soil, a cool climate, the most modern green- 
houses and propagating equipment, and experienced and 
intelligent help. Our propagating stocks are rigorously 
selected and state inspected. This assures you of high 
quality plants direct from America’s largest producer of 
Hardy ’Mums.

in selecting your varieties for your particular 
needs, let us make your selection. Send us the 
amount you wish to spend for HARDY ’MUMS,

for cutting or garden display, whether early, late, 
or midseason varieties, and we will select the best 
varieties in our large collection of over 200 var- 
ieties. You will be thrilled by the fine plants you 
receive. All will be labeled and sure-to-bloom. 

Our Gall 'Mum Display 
Everyone is cordially invited to our annual Fall ’Mum 
Show. Last season we had over one hundred thousand 
plants in our fields and well over a million flowers. Here 
you can see growing side by side well over 500 varieties of 
Hardy Chrysanthemums. Many of these are seedlings— 
the "Mums of Tomorrow—in the different stages of selec- 
tion. Really it is quite a beautiful sight to see. Our very 
first varieties begin to bloom about mid-August and by 
early September a great many of the earlier kinds are in 
full bloom. Between September 15th and 25th is usually 
when the fields are at their best. During this time and 
up to Thanksgiving we maintain a display of most all 
varieties in our Greenhouses. This alone is well worth 
seeing. If you can, come and enjoy the MUMS with us.
