NEW QUANTITY DISCOUNTS ON 
POT PLANTS AND ROOTED CUTTINGS 
8 of any one named variety — less 10% 
20 of any one named variety — less 20% 
Rooted Cuttings have proved so satisfactory for our cus- 
tomers, as they stand shipment so well, and produce such 
wonderful plants, that we have reduced the price on many 
varieties by selling two of a kind for 50c, where plants cost 
50c. In fact all varieties of Mums except the Novelties listed 
on pages 42 and 43 are 2 Rooted Cuttings of a kind for 50c. 
By selling them only in multiples of two facilitates ordering, 
booking and shipping, and gives you more for your money. 
Rooted Cuttings can be planted direct in your garden with 
partial protection or potted and held for a few weeks be- 
fore planting. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM CULTURE 
SOIL PREPARATION. You will find many helpful sugges- 
tions on Soil Preparation and Fertilizing in our Dahlia Culture 
which hold good for Mums with the exception that prepara- 
tion of hills is mot recommended. Mums will stand more 
manure and more water than dahlias will. Mums should 
never be allowed to suffer for the need of water. 
Plant in well prepared ordinary garden soil 8 to 10 inches 
apart, in rows 15 inches apart for mass planting. Rows can 
be 3 to 4 feet apart for cultivating. 
When plants are established in the garden and have de- 
veloped 2 or 3 pairs of mature leaves the center of the 
main growth should be pinched out. Should you want ex- 
hibition blooms in limited numbers, then limit the number 
of branches to 3 or 4. For Garden Varieties, Pompons, etc., 
6 or 8 stems are not too many. 
When Mums are planted early and topped out as recom- 
mended we find it advantageous to again top out the center 
growth and main growth branches about July 15th. This will 
give you a more uniform growth and blooms will oven at 
a uniform time. Spray Mums the same as recommended for 
Dahlias. Page 26.
