CULTURAL INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) 
HARDIES AS POT PLANTS 
For the past several Springs, increasing numbers of 
growers have finished a batch of hardy or garden Mums in 
pots for Mother’s Day. They are quickly (90 days) and 
easily grown, make showy and unusual pot plants. They 
have added sales appeal in that, after flowering, they may 
be planted outdoors for another crop of blooms in the Fall. 
Here is a simple schedule worked out by William Skou 
at Ohio State: (For May 1 flowering) 
February 8—Plant 5 rooted cuttings in a 5- or 6-inch 
pot, pinch same day and start lighting 5 hours per night. 
Same light intensity as for cut Mums. Minimum tempera- 
ture throughout the crop: 60 degrees. 
March 8—Discontinue lights. Pinch plants again, 
start regular black cloth shading from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. 
daily till plants are in flower.
