Skillin's Fall Lineup Week 6! Mum's the Word!

Starting Thursday, October 4 and continuing through Wednesday October 10 "Mum" is the word at Skillin's. We are selling our Skillin grown (right in Falmouth ME) Mums in various ways.

Unlike some of our more, shall we say "Nationally known" competitors, we "time" our Mum crops so that we are always selling varieties that have most of their flowering ahead of them. In other words, we grow many different varieties so what you buy now will flower for weeks and weeks; making our Mums the best value around. And our Mums are all grown by fellow Mainers and that makes a purchase at Skillin's good for the local economy!

*Looking to spruce up your window box or corner part of your garden bed? Consider our Mums in a 4" pot for only $3.99

*Want to bunch together some color in a large container or highlight spot in your garden. We sell our Mums in an 8" pot for $5.99 and we offer a volume discount of Buy 5 for $5.49 apiece.

*A great portable size for a colorful show is our 10" potted mum for only $14.99.

*And of course, the granddaddy of them all! The famous Skillin's Mumbo Jumbo--the showstopper, the instant flowering shrub for only $24.99.

*To celebrate our Mum week we offer the following specials:

*All plant containers are 20% off.

*All potting soil, houseplant fertilizers, plant brackets and watering cans are 20% off.

STILL Gardening? Thought so, so we STILL have a fresh supply of perennials, shrubs, trees and groundcovers on SALE for you!

Just to remind you, we have two great classes this weekend; each class is offered at Brunswick, Cumberland and Falmouth:

*At 9 AM we have Birds in the Backyard and at 1 PM Bulbs for Planting. These are very timely classes for you to go to. And they are free of charge.

Just let us know at info@skillins.com if you would like to sign up for these classes and make sure you give us the time and store of your choice.
