HARDY MUMS — continued

white. Large flowers soon loose their cream centers 
becoming large shaggy snow white blooms. Oct. 2. 
YELLOW BLANKET. D. 1 in. A very free flowering 
mum with lovely clear yellow button flowers. Name 
describes it perfectly. Good cut flower. Oct. 10. 
YELLOW SPOON. S. D. 2% in. Very fine bright clear 
golden yellow. The most outstanding of the spoon 
varieties. Oct. 8. 
Rooted cuttings of Hardy Mums may be purchased at 
20% off the listed price, but not less than 3 of a kind 
will be sold as rooted cuttings. They should be potted 
or set in a flat or box of good soil for about 2 weeks 
before setting in the garden or field.

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. 
LARGE MUMS 
GREENHOUSE TYPE
