Essex: Casey Leeds picks out the rust colored mums with the help of Bob Coviello at Joshua's Corner Antiques Thursday afternoon. 2000 mums were delivered to Joshua's Corner Antiques for business owners and residents to come pick up so the plants can be displayed around downtown Essex as part of the Essex Merchants Group's "Mums the Word" campaign to beautify downtown.
