M. EARLY OUTDOOR MUMS. Kindly let me know through your valuable paper the earliest white, pink and yellow chrysanthemums for outdoor cultivation. Also let me know about what bloom. I refer to the large-blooming varieties, of course. W. F. B.—Md. I presume you mean the strictly green- house varieties in early types. For these I would recommend Smith's Advance and Early Frost, white; Unaka and Pa- cific Supreme, pink; Comoleta and Mari- gold, yellow; Tint of Gold, bronze. These varieties come into flower during the first week of Marigold can- not always be depended on to come in this early and one cannot guarantee that the bud will set early enough. However, it is a fine variety and well worth a trial. There is another type of mums known as early flowering, which does splendidly in your section and which will come into flower earlier than the above-mentioned kinds. These would be: White, Dorothy, Cranford White and Petite Jean; pink, Normandie, Chas. Jolly and Hortense Malgat; yellow, Car- rie and Cranfordia. These are not so tall-growing as the average greenhouse varieties, but they are more hardy and will begin to flower earlier. With us they are in flower the last week of Sep- tember and continue to flower during the month of October. This early-flow- ering type is the kind we have been working to popularize for the last four or five years, and is just now coming into its own, particularly in sections where the earlier frosts are not too se- vere.
