POMPON, OR HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



September to November 



To the iris of spring and the peony and phlox of summer must be added the 

 queen of fall flowers the Chrysanthemum. For garden work the hardy pompon- 

 and anemone-flowered varieties are the most desirable, as they are extremely hardy, 

 requiring but a light covering of manure to protect them through our hardest win- 

 ters. When once planted they care for themselves and repay us with a profusion 

 of bloom, of many forms and colors, during the fall months. The following list 

 has been selected and retained from our collection of over one hundred varieties. 

 We are constantly adding the best new sorts, and the plants offered are young and 

 vigorous; sure to give every satisfaction. (See plate on page 151.)
