Mums from WMiuuesota 
The Hardy Mum Headquarters of the Nation 
Our new catalog listing 137 varieties of garden Mums which we 
consider to be the very best varieties for American conditions, comes 
to you with our compliments. We believe that our Better-grown and 
sure-to-bloom Mums, grown from virgin cuttings and sent to you with 
a ball of real estate around the roots, are the cheapest and the best 
plants that money can buy. All our plants are guaranteed to be true- 
to-name and as represented in our catalog. We will cheerfully refund 
the amount paid for any plants that prove otherwise. 
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 
i the country. Many of our plants have been shipped to foreign coun- 
tries and have arrived fresh and moist. Our highly skilled packers 
have had many fine letters saying that the plants came through Iooking 
| 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. 
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.
