Mums on display at King's

Through the end of November, King’s Mums opens its doors - and its fabulous displays of chrysanthemums - to the public. The nursery, which sells and ships mums all over the world, has been a family owned operation for 40 years. It's headed by mum expert and hybridizer Ted King, pictured in one of his greenhouses.

The collection includes about 400 varieties of mums available at the nursery.
Or you can order a catalog by sending $2 to King’s Mums, P.O. Box 368, Clements CA 95227.

To visit King's Mums, from Sacramento take Highway 99 south. Exit at Liberty Road (just past Galt) and turn east over the freeway. Continue for 11 miles. King's is on the left. You can’t miss it. Look for the colorful mums.
