WHEN ORDERING MUM CUTTINGS 
Please indicate the earliest date delivery will be acceptable and the maxi- 
mum number of cuttings that can be handled in a single shipment. 
To serve you best, it is necessary that we have your order at least a 
month in advance of requested delivery date, although often it is possible to

Where we are unable to ship very close to the requested delivery date, 
we will advise you of our growers best estimate of delivery. We suggest you 
advise whether substitutions will be acceptable when giving the order.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS EVERY MONTH 
Fundamentals of successful Chrysanthemum culture will probably always 
remain the same, except, as more progress is made probably we will see more 
gravel culture. Black Cloth shading for early flowers has become standard 
practice and as cotton goods become more readily available, we will see 
even more. Recent experiments by Dr. Kenneth Post at Cornell University 
have shown it is possible to produce cut Chrysanthemums of good quality 
at any time during the year by the use of lights and shading. Three crops 
can be produced in the same bench each year, timed exactly as wanted. 
Best varieties for winter flowering were Seafoam, Sunnyside, Omega, 
Valencia, Golden Jane and Riviera. As further experiments are continued 
other varieties will be found most suitable for various seasons. We would 
suggest growers interested in this new development contact your State experi- 
ment station. Our propagators are arranging to have cuttings available 
throughout the entire year for those who wish to follow this program. 
Hardy garden varieties will be listed in our General Catalogue. The 
varieties in this catalogue are primarily for cutflower purposes however 
practically all varieties flowering before October 15th are suitable for 
garden use.
