GENERAL COLLECTION OF TENDER PLANTS— Continued 



Prize Winning Chrysanthemums 



SEE PAGE 33 FOR OUR LIST OF HARDY MUMS. 



These are hardy in the South and in the middle States if given a good protection through the winter with leaves or straw. 



Chrysanthemums deserve a place in every garden, coming as they do after the Summer flowers have begun to wane, and continuing 

 to bloom profusely in most places until well into November. The cultivation of these 'Mums is simple: Plant them in a rich, well-drained 

 piece of ground, setting out the plants a foot apart and pinching them once or twice during the months of May or June. They will 

 branch out and make beautiful bushes and give the cultivator more return for the labor expended than any plant in the garden. There 

 is a place for 'Mums in every garden in America. The following varieties are the cream of all the 'Mums to date.
