Fides has canceled all chrysanthemum orders for this fall, and will not offer the flowers again until fall 2014, said Mark Schermer, general manager at Fides Oro.
The company, which specializes in breeding and propagation of cut chrysanthemums, pot chrysanthemums, pelargonium, osteospermum, petunia and more sent a note to customers at the end of March announcing the decision to cancel the orders because of agrobacterium in the mum stock, Schermer said.
