Wums from Minnesota 
The Home of Better-Grown and Sure-to-Bloom Mums 
_ We appreciate all orders. No order is too small and none too large to receive our careful attention. We have held the 
Iine on prices and have not advanced the price of our better-grown and sure-to-bloom plants over the 1954 prices. 
WE SPECIALIZE. We grow only Hardy Mums and we grow them well. Our very modern establishment is located in 
southern Minnesota and has been built especially for the growing of better Hardy Mums. 
Dependable blooming dates, descriptions and growth data are recorded each year from actual observations in our own 
test gardens. This enables us to offer only the newest and most dependable varieties. 
Experience has helped us to set up one of the finest packing systems in the country. Many of our plants have been 
shipped to foreign countries and have arrived fresh and moist. Our highly skilled packers have had many fine letters saying 
that the plants came through looking as fresh as when they were packed. 
You can be sure of better-grown, better-packed and sure-to-bloom Mums when you order from us. 
Plants will be ready and available from February 15 to June 1.
