Our Mum Cuttings for 45 
Thru shading and lighting, Mums are and will continue to increase in value. Also, we 
must improve their vitality. To this end we must not only take better care of our young 
stock, but encourage the hybridists to grow seedlings. They not only improve the flowers, 
but new varieties or seedlings increase that all important vigor and vitality. In other 
words, new varieties put life into the Mum business. We feel that better and more care of 
propagating stock must be practiced if quality and resistance are to be improved or main- 
tained. 
The cause and control of the crippling new infection known as “Stunt” is not yet defi- 
nitely known; with our leading pathologists studying it, control measures will be found. 
(Turn to our December GROWER TALKS, page 1, and to page 8 this catalog for details.) 
Meantime, as producers and suppliers of rooted Mum cuttings, we have arranged to fur- 
nish them (in good faith, but without guarantee) from plants that have shown no trace of 
stunt or any other infection. But, to do so it will be necessary to draw on supplies from 
various sources. This will involve some delays and some substitutions might be necessary, too. 
You can depend on us to do our utmost, sparing no cost, to maintain our position in 
the world of Chrysanthemums. All shipments will start about April 1st.
