I have enjoyed this article. It is very informative and should be of help to new gardeners as well as us "oldies". I do not know the author, but I sincerely thank her for the knowledge given to everyone!  Even a fool, when he shuts his mouth, is counted (as being) wise.Proverbs 17:28 MY BLOG |

| Barbara Pleasant is a garden writer and MOTHER EARTH NEWS contributor. http://www.barbarapleasant.com... this article is somewhat dated, Harry Huff of Huff's Garden Mums and Vincent Dooley from MN have probably not been active for 10 years or more. Mums of Minnesota (https://www.fgimn.com) carries some of Dooley's introductions. Company name is Faribault Growers. G.H. Wild seems to carry about a half dozen mums from Mums of Minnesota, clearly the stock photos are from Faribault... https://www.gilberthwild.com/p... Bluestone Perennials has a large selection of mums... https://www.bluestoneperennial... The University of Minnesota had a breeding program that started in the 1930s that produced many Chrysanthemums for colder climates... https://www.maes.umn.edu/publi... Also, the MAMMOTH mums series was developed by the University of Minnesota, http://krismers.com/WebPages20... the Yoder Brothers (the largest producer of chrysanthemums in the U.S.) seem to sell most of the "florist" type chrysanthemums (not hardy). They are a wholesale company. I assume that the majority of their products are sold at the fall mum sales at your local nursery or grocery store. As far as the National Chrysanthemum Society goes, I think "show" chrysanthemums refer to the fancy "greenhouse" mums, not to something you would grow in your garden. |
