SPRING TRADE LIST OF "MODERN MUMS FOR 1952 -" U. S. Department of Agriculture 
Once again we are pleased to be able to offer the new University of Nebraska Mums 
to the trade. As before they have been tested at many points throughout the northern 
half of the country in addition to years of testing by Mre Glenn Viehmeyer, their 
creator, at the North Platte Sub Experiment Station of the University of Nebraska. 
We, therefore, have no compunctions in advocating their wide usage» In addition to 
the new Nebraska mums, our list is comprised of the newest offerings from the other 
leading hybridizers. It is for this reason we title our lists "MODERN MUMS".

weviness which give them an informal appearances Arapahoe is extremely frost re-
