Early Flowering Chrysanthemums 



So many persons have asked for varieties of Chrysanthemums that would flower before frost comes 

 in the fall. We here offer the very best early "Mums," - 

 20 cents each; the five for 75 cents.

Ostrich Plume Chrysanthemums 



Below we offer a grand collection of these Chrysanthemums. The term "Ostrich Plume" is applied 

 to this type on account of the feathery growth with which the petals are thickly covered. Price, 20

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. 15 cents each; the set of eight for $1.00.

FLOWERING BEGONIAS 



Begonias are fine for pot culture and to plant on the north side of the house or other building, or 

 in front of porch where they get shade. The foliage, as well as the flowers, are extremely ornamental, 

 some being spotted and veined to give a parti-colored effect that is quite striking. Begonias planted 

 with Crotons give a wonderful foliage effect, and this is heightened with their lovely showy flowers. 

 Except where noted. 15c each; four for 50c. The set of fifteen, costing $2.70, sent for only $2.25 net.

 taken everybody who has seen it by storm. 

 There was not a single lady or florist who visited 

 our greenhouses the past spring that did not 

 purchase this Begonia after they had seen it in 

 flower. It certainly is a wonder. The blooms 

 last from a month to six weeks, and are borne in 

 immense clusters almost hiding the plant. The 

 color is bright coral-red, changing to a delicate 

 pink. It is past the power of speech to describe 

 it. A wonder. Fine plants, 25 cents.

 makes handsome specimens, with its graceful 

 branches and pendulous flowers of bright scarlet,

 doubtedly the freest blooming variety known. It 

 is of easy culture, low, bushy habit and literally

 pink flowers with yellow stamens. It well merits 

 the name of Everblooming Begonia. This variety 

 is especially suited for house culture. 25 cents.
