The flowering of Hardy Mums as Spring Pot Plants is comparatively new, and the results up to date 
show tremendous possibilities, not only because of being readily accepted by the public, but the pro- 
cedure is very simple and can be followed by any grower, who can maintain a 60 degree temperature. . 
Maintaining this temperature can readily be done if you have bottom heat. The Black Cloth used 
should be dropped to the aisle instead of just dropping to the top of the soil. The following table 
has been worked out by Ohio State University and has proven very satisfactory. ) 
(1) Use only cuttings taken from lighted stock plants. 
(2) For flowering about May Ist, place 5 rooted cuttings in a 5 or 6 inch pot Coy 8 and 
pinch that same day. 
(3) Give the plants 10 foot candles of light from 5 to 10 p.m. each night, from February 8 until 
March 8. 
(4) On March 8 pinch the plants again. Discontinue lighting and to produce the most uniform 
specimens, shade with Black Cloth daily from 5 P.M. to 8 A.M. until flowering. 
(5) Keep the night temperature 60°F. from time of potting until flowering. 
The time of flowering is shown in Table 1 and if the plants are desired somewhat earlier or later, 
the dates of potting, pinching, lighting and shading can be moved ahead or back as desired. This 
schedule has been worked out at Columbus, Ohio which is on the 40th Parallel. For other localities 
some modifications may be necessary.
