Why Stern’s FLORIST EXHIBITION MUMS are 
Guaranteed Hardy 
Huge fields of experimental plants were allowed to winter-over 
outdoors in sub-zero temperatures. Thousands of piants we.e Jost— 
but a few of the most hardy types survived. Again the survivors 
were subjected to this rigorous test and again many did not sur- 
vive. Finally, by careful selection, only the very strongest—the 
fittest'"—were chosen. These are the Mums that will delight you 
with their vigor, their exceptional hardiness, their profusion of large 
and brilliant flowers.

BLOOMS SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER and 
NOVEMBER 
Guaranteed to Bloom First Year Planted 
These Exhibition Chrysanthemums start blooming in Sep- 
tember, reaching their peak of perfection in October and lasting 
throughout November. You will enjoy them for many years, yet 
they require little care. Just plant them in any good soil. They 
thrive in full sun as well as in partial shade. Grow 22-3 ft. 
tall. For best results, a light mulch during the winter is recom- 
mended. For really giant-size Mums, remove in midsummer all 
of the smaller stems, saving only a few of the strongest ones. 
When they begin to form flower buds, usually in September, 
remove most of the smaller buds, leaving only one of the 
strongest on every stem which will develop into a giant flower. 
Beautiful in any garden, they form a perfect background for 
other hardy, low-growing Mums.
