_ The Hardy Mum Headquarters of the Nation 
Because our production of Hardy Mums has now exceeded the half- 
million mark annually, we have applied assembly-line and mass pro- 
duction methods to our growing, with highly skilled help doing the job. 
Thereby we are able to offer you our BETTER-GROWN and SURE- 
TO-BLOOM plants at reduced prices this year. Think of it! Higher 
quality and lower prices in these times! 
In order to maintain our high standards of quality in listing only the 
best varieties available, we have discarded over 20 older kinds of Mums
