OFF-SEASON MUM SCHEDULE 
Response groups. You will note a “9W” or “10W” after 
each variety in these tables. This refers to the number of weeks 
the variety requires between start shading and flowering 
dates (or between “lights off” and flowering in winter). Some 
kinds take as little as 7 weeks, some as long as 14. Obviousiy, 
in order to flower a bed of Mums together from the same 
shading date, varieties of about the same response group must 
be selected. Varieties with early normal flowering dates are 
the 7, 8, or 9 week kinds; those wtih /ate normal flowering 
dates are 12, 13 or 14 weeks kinds. 
Crops to flower in winter do best if 12, 13 and 14 week 
kinds are used; those to flower in summer do best with 9 and 
10 week varieties. Selection of appropriate classes of varieties 
for each season has been given the most careful attention in 
preparing these tables. In a few cases, varieties are included 
which would not normally belong in the group (10 week 
variety in 14 week group). These few have been tried by us 
and altho they may flower on shorter stems, are worth while 
in our opinion.
