FIELD GROWN CHRYSANTHEMUMS ARE SAFE 
Based on observations that we have made during many years of experience with Hardy Mums, some definite 
conclusions may be drawn. Most important is the virtual elimination of any prospect of 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 it’s natural dormancy 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. 
IT IS MOST ECONOMICAL TO BUY FIELD GROWN CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
As a general rule, unless the variety is by nature a restrictive producer, the cost of obtaining Chrysanthemum 
stock will not exceed 3 cents per unit — normally a great deal less —- when field grown plants are purchased 
and individual stolons are transplanted to the field. Make any comparison and see the BARGAIN!! 
IT IS MORE SATISFACTORY TO BUY FIELD GROWN PLANTS 
In every respect — uniformity, quality and brilliance of substance —- a Chrysanthemum propagated and plant- 
ed through natural methods is a better plant. It may sound like very simple logic — that is what is in- 
tended — isn’t that often the best logic?
