CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
SHIPPED ONLY IN THE SPRING 
We do not recommend fall planting of ““Mums”’. 
Our Chrysanthemums should not be planted as early as other perennials so we do not ship 
them until the middle of May unless earlier shipment is requested at the time the order is placed. 
Since they are packed separately, they will not arrive with other perennials you may have on 
your order.

SPIDER-MITE (Aramitfe)

suck juices from the leaves. 
Start spraying early with SPIDER-MITE to keep 
your plants green and healthy.
