The Hardy Mum Headquarters of the Nation 
_ In these days of higher prices, we believe our Hardy Mums, grown 
from virgin cuttings and well established in 2'%-inch pots, are the most 
practical and economical to buy. These plants are completely guaran- 
teed to be disease and insect free, true to name and sure-to-bloom. Our 
lower prices are due to mass-production growing (over a half million 
plants grown each year) and an assembly-line shipping system. 
WE SPECIALIZE. We grow only Hardy Mums and grow them well. 
Our very modern establishment is located in Southern Minnesota and 
has been built especially for the growing of better Hardy Mums. 
Dependable blooming dates, descriptions and growth data are re- 
corded each year and are from actual observations in our own test gar- 
dens. This enables us to offer only the newest and most dependable 
varieties. 
Experience has helped us to set up one of the finest packing systems 
in the country. Many of our plants have been shipped to foreign coun- 
tries and arrived fresh and moist. Our highly skilled packers have had 
many fine letters saying that the plants came through looking as fresh 
as when they were packed. 
You can be sure of better-grown, better-packed and sure-to-bloom 
Mums when you order from us. 
Plants will be ready and available from February 15 to June 1.
