BETTER CHRYSANTHEMUMS 

Wetter Chrysanthemums 
Some men collect stamps, others play with miniature trains, still others devote themselves to golf. 
Then, too, there is the Gpeckner staff who enjoy collecting the latest information on Chyrsan- 
themums and who assemble it for you in this Chrysanthemum Manual. 
At one time the chrysanthemum crop was considered a catch crop and during the past several dec- 
ades the popularity of this flower has made it a main crop flower. With the advent of shading and 
lighting procedures this crop now can be had to flower the year around. 
Other improvements such as cultured stock free from Verticillium wilt disease, soil analysis, ‘proper 
time pinching, newer findings in disease and insect control, better varieties, have all helped in pro- 
ducing better chrysanthemums. 
This crop must be carefully planned so as to select only good varieties and eliminate those that are 
poor and which generally clutter up our markets. The precision culture of chrysanthemums is here to 
stay and all good growers of quality stock are rapidly following this culture. 
By buying from the specialist you can plan your crop to exactly fit your requirements. If your order 
is placed at the proper time you are reasonably assured of delivery on the date you wish to plant the 
stock, and because of this you can eliminate at least one operation by planting directly to the bench. 
In this manual we have collected the latest information on chrysanthemum culture. It is just a part of 
the Gpecknerservice to keep you advised. We will gladly help you plan your requirements for , 
the coming year.
