stunt —- when you plant a stolon (division) from a stunt free field 
grown stock plant. 
Everybody is entitled to an opinion on stunt. 
Our theory is that when 
a Chrysanthemum doesn’t receive the benefit of its natural dor- 
mancy and when it has undergone the rigors of intensive forcing 
(sometimes for a succession of years), the resistance and growing 
capacity is lessened to such a degree that stunt — and to a certain 
extent, dormancy — occurs during the season when the best natural 
development should be taking place.
