BET SESE OR MUMS GMe 
Setter (ove) WYums for 1951 
We are becoming more and more convinced that the spring and early summer crops of Mums are 
not only here to stay, but are increasing. Not only are cutting sales rapidly increasing, but growers, who 
have tried them are usually enthusiastically planning to expand their plantings. For the wholesale grower 
it means getting off the usually well-supplied fall markets and adding a quite profitable crop to his spring 
rotation. A crop of Mums or Pomps that can be cleared in 2 or 3 months of bench space can’t help but pay 
well during the spring. (See Oct. 1950 “Grower Talks” for our method of handling Mums as a catch crop.) 
For the retailer a spring crop of Pomps and Mums means an interesting diversification in available flowers. 
Many of the new varieties listed on the four preceding pages are specifically recommended for spring 
and summer flowering. The Spiders, like Queen’s Lace and its yellow sport that are rapidly increasing in 
popularity, respond very well to spring and summer flowering. 
We strongly suggest that all Mum growers seriously consider plantings of Mums and Pomps during 
the spring. The technical aspects of growing are well worked out and described in detail beginning on 
page 22 of this catalog. Expanding during the spring and summer months will not only relieve the over- 
produced fall markets, but it should increase the over-all demand for Mums, which is what we all want.
