Scene in Rocknoll’s 1954 Trial Garden 
14 NEW TESTED MUMS FOR 1954 
From among the hundreds of varieties of outdoor Chrysanthemums that we have tested and grown in our trial 
gardens the last two years these 14 have proven really outstanding. The last two fall seasons beset by drought 
and frost have really tried and proven them. 
— THE SEVEN TESTS — 
To gain admission to this select group they must pass all 7 of these tests. 
1. Be early flowering—sure to bloom before frost. 
2. Have long flowering season—buds and bloom at same time. 
8. Be garden showy, of good bushy habit, not loppy. 
4. Really distinct and different. 
5. Large showy flowers of pleasing color. 
6. Vigorous plants, good propogators, thus winter hardy. 
7. Reasonably priced.
