IMPORTANT NOTICE 
ABOUT "STUNT" DISEASE 
Offers of Chrysanthemum cuttings in this catalogue are made without guar- 
antee against any losses the buyer may incur as a result of the epidemic disease 
known as “Stunt”. The cause of this disease is not known, and experiment stations 
working on the problem have not determined whether it is carried on the plants, or 
in the growing medium. Every effort is being made to deliver stock which is free 
from infection, but purchases must be made with the understanding that we assume 
no responsibility for losses which may result from the “Stunt” disease. 
WHEN ORDERING MUM CUTTINGS 
Please indicate the earliest date delivery will be acceptable and the maximum 
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 make shipment 
on short notice. 
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.

are too far away to pick up shipments at the airport.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS EVERY MONTH 
Fundamentals of successful Chrysanthemum culture will probably always re- 
main 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 experi- 
ments by Dr. Kenneth Post at Cornell University have shown it is possible to pro- 
duce 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, Valencia, Golden 
Jane. 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 experiment station. Our propagators are arranging 
to have cuttings available throughout the entire year for those who wish to follow 
this program.
