HARDY ENGLISH 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
English mums have been gaining more in popu- 
larity for the last several years than any other type 
because of their early blooming habit and large 
flowers. With disbudding and proper feeding flow- 
ers 5” to 6” across can readily be had. Without dis- 
budding flowers will still be substantially larger 
than those of other standard types. The plants in 
this well balanced selection are all grown from out- 
door raised stock and will delight the connoisseur 
as well as the beginner.

CUSHION CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
These attractive gay little mounds of flowers are among the easiest 
of all chrysanthemums to grow and have no superior in the garden 
world for borders or large rock gardens. ‘They are also marvelous for 
mass effects and are extensively grown as potted plants. Their early 
blooming habits delight the gardener in the Northern part of the 
United States where fall storms frequently interfere with proper bloom- 
ing of later blooming types. Cushion mums can very successfully be 
left in one spot for several years with larger and more spectacular dis- 
plays of glorious color as the plants become larger. Try some of these 
compact little beauties this year and use dahlias of a complimentary 
color for a background. We guarantee you will be overjoyed at the 
results and the long blooming period offered by both flowers.

CUSHION MUMS 
HOW TO GROW CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Rooted cuttings such as you receive when you order any of the mums offered 
on these two pages will develop better plants and produce nicer flowers 
than undivided clumps grown from year to year. They like rich soil and 
good drainage is imperative, as it is for practically all flowers. A mixture 
of sand, leaf mold, and rotted manure is ideal, but any material which will 
loosen the soil is satisfactory. (If sawdust is used be sure to add nitrogen.)

On cushion mums pinch out the top of the plant after it is well established 
to aid in inducing branching. On the other types pinching and disbudding 
is more or less optional although it is, of course, necessary if you wish maxi- 
mum flower size. Plant in full sun for best results. If used as a border plant 
along the house a southern or western exposure will give much better results 
than if they are planted on the east or north sides.
