Mum — Tints of Gold, 



Hardy Pompon 



Chrysanthemums 



These beautiful varieties are again very popular for outdoor bedding 

 purposes. They are quite hardy, and with but a slight covering of leaves or 

 coarse stable litter during the winter will take care of themselves after once 

 planted, and produce an abundant, almost lavish, profusion of bloom; and 

 the plants lend a coloration to the garden just at a time when other plants 

 have been destroyed by frost and are looking their worst. Frost does not 

 materially affect the flowering, and it will frequently happen that an armful 

 of flowers can be cut after a sharp frost. Price, 15c each; any 3 for 40c. 



BABY, or GOLDEN BUTTON— Deep golden-yellow; covers the plant. 



BRIGHT EYES — As the name implies, each flower has a bright eye. As 

 the outer petals unfold they are bluish white and the unfolded petals, 

 showing the reverse side, present an orange apricot. This distinction in 

 color disappears as the flower becomes fully developed. 



BUENA — Very small flowers. Color, golden-bronze. Cannot be too highly 

 recommended to those desiring small, mid-season pompons. 



CHRISTMAS GOLD — Late flowering. Color, very bright yellow. 



CLARE — A very free flowering variety of the purest white. 



ETHEL — A bright red baby pompon. Gorgeous in color and free flowering. 

 Is also exceptionally fine when grown as a pot plant. 



Fl RE Bl RD — While not extra early, this is the best early red we have seen 

 Color, very bright. Strong, upright growth and productive. We un- 

 hesitatingly recommend this variety for those desiring early red pompons. 



GOLDEN CLIMAX — Orange-yellow. The best yellow in cultivation. 



I DA — The best true yellow. 



UVALDA — The earliest white. Sometimes shows a slight shade of pink 

 when first opening, but becomes pure white when fully developed. 



WESTERN BEAUTY— Pink; extra. 



ZORA — An early bright yellow. This is the earliest good yellow pompon 

 we know of.
