NEW GIANT HARDY MOMS 
New Early Flowering Hardy English Chrysanthemums 
Be the first to grow these mums 
The early English Chrysanthemums are a new race of Chrysanthemums. They 
originated in England. Some of the West Coast Canadian growers first imported 
them from England. Then several growers started growing them in the State of 
Washington. We secured our stock from one of these growers. They are equal in 
hardiness with any garden chrysanthemum and they are rated so far superior to the 
old garden chrysanthemums that there is no comparison. 
This new race of Chrysanthemums are all early flowering. 
These new Chrysanthemums are much larger than ordinary garden varieties. 
They are like the greenhouse Mums. Many have incurved petals and are very 
solid. They should be disbudded same way florists do the large mums, to 8 to 12 
blooms to the plant, and it is almost unbelievable the lovely flowers you can 
raise and the immense size of the blooms. 
We have had considerable correspondence in regard to growing these English 
mums. We have found that early planting of the plants or divisions by June Ist in 
our locality, pinching the tops out after they reach a height of 6 to 8 inches, and 
disbudding down to 8 to 12 blooms per plant make them bloom much earlier and 
give those immense flowers, on good sturdy stems. We have found these mums hardy 
here in Ohio, without protection, and feel they are as hardy as any of the regular 
garden Chrysanthemums.
