Nature's parting gift to the autumn garden. Hardy Chrysanthemums 

 are one of the finest of all flowers for cutting, lasting two weeks in the 

 house, as well as furnishing brilliant color in the garden. 



A few varieties start blooming in August in the northern states, but 

 most of them begin their gorgeous display in the fall, after most garden 

 flowers have stopped for the year. They will stand a lot of cold. Early 

 frosts sometimes injure the open flowers but not the buds, and warm 

 days following bring a burst of glorious bloom. 



Five types. Decorative, Singles Pompon, Button, and the new 

 Winter-proof Korean Hybrids, are represented. 



They are easy to grow, thriving in any ordinary soil, are little affected 

 by disease or insects, and a thin covering of some light material is all 

 the winter protection they need. Keep the plants pinched back until 

 late July and give them plenty of water. 



We have a splendid collection of these lovely flowers, including the 

 best of the early-blooming standard varieties, four new ones of our own 

 origination, and several new ones from va.rious sources, including the 

 hardiest of all Chrysanthemums, Cumming's New Koreanum Hybrids. 

 (See inside back cover.) 



Plant any time after frost-danger is past. 



The dates given after the name of each variety are the average 

 blooming-dates at West Grove; they will bloom a little earlier north of 

 here and later farther south. 



The average height of growth, under ordinary culture, is also given 

 as a help to enable you to arrange your planting. 



Our planting, including thousands of new seedlings, is near West 

 Grove, on U. S. Route 1. Stop and see them next fall; the block of seed- 

 lings, with every one different, is a gorgeous spectacle.
