PLANT MUMS 
May 15th to June 15th. Plant in rows, beds or in 
borders about 18 inches apart. They require very little 
care. A handful of bonemeal or well recommended 
fertilizer to each plant mixed well with the soil at 
planting time; then again on top, raked in, at budding 
time. 
They will produce a beautiful display of flowers over 
a satisfactory period of weeks during the early or 
late Autumn. For still greater profusion of bloom, 
pinch out the tender tip of each plant in June; again 
pinch out about the 15th of July, this time several 
or many tender tips. Most of the large varieties, can 
by disbudding, be made to produce much more beau- 
tiful and much larger flowers, some as large as four 
to five inches.
