Perennials—Platte Valley Grown 
EARLY BLOOMING CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
This year, we are keeping many varieties of mums, 
and have also added a few more varieties, that have 
proven to be dependable. These mums have been listed 
to us as early, frost resistant and hardy with protection. 
All plants we send out in the spring are from 2%”’ pots; 
which make large flowering clumps by fall. All mum 
plants have been treated with sodium selenate, making 
them immune from disease. 
Select a rich, well drained soil—sheltered yet sunny 
location, Mums love lots of fresh air; plenty of water, 
and fertilizer. Be sure to divide your old clumps the 
following spring, or plant new potted ones. In replanting 
these clumps, always divide them into individual shoots. 
Those from the outside of the clump are the strongest 
and should be retained; discard the old center crown, or 
stalk. Give ample room for proper growth and for cul- 
tivation; spacing 18 inches to 2 ft. apart in the rows. 
Water well, then cultivate the ground before it is 
allowed to dry out. After the middle of August cease all 
cultivation so that the side shoots that make plants for 
-next year can begin to form. 
We strongly advise the purchase of chrysanthemums 
in quantities of 3 or more of one kind, since a group of 
3 or more plants make a more striking and effec- 
tive color mass in the garden, 
Cushions mums are good only for the landscape 
border, or for the foundation planting, and are as 
follows:
