EARLY BRONZE. Pompon. See illustration. Late August. 2 feet. One of the 

 earliest and finest of all hardy "Mums." The 1 ' 2-inch flowers appear early, and the 

 compact plants are one mass of bloom until killed by heavy frost. Its color is a 

 light bronze which fades but little. 30 cts. each. 



FRANCES WHITTLESEY. Decorative. See illustration. October 1. 18 inches. 

 Rich bronze and garnet — perfect fall colors. The flowers will stand more frost than 

 most varieties. 30 cts. each. 



FUJIYAMA. Novelty. October 15. 2 feet. An odd variety which is quite 

 popular. Its 4- to 5-inch flowers of pale pink have the petals quilled except on the 

 ends which open out, making a spoon-shaped appearance. 40 cts. each. 



GRANNY SCOVILL. Decorative. New. October 10. 18 inches. The flowers 

 are over 4 inches in diameter, of a warm coral-bronze, a new shade; they open flat 

 and have shaggy edges. Needs extra winter care. 40 cts. each. 



GRENADIER. Single. October 10. 30 inches. Flowers 3 to 3^ inches in diam- 

 eter, bright chestnut-red with gold-backed petals. 30 cts. each. 



JANE SAUNDERS. Pompon. October 20. 3 feet. The 3-inch, bronzy orange 

 pompons come in compact clusters on strong, long stems. Perfect for cutting. 

 40 cts. each. 



JEAN CUMMING. Decorative. September 15. 2 feet. Large flowers of purest 

 white, with a very soft yellow and blush shading at the center when first open. We 

 think this the finest white of this type. 30 cts. each. 



JEAN TREADWAY. Decorative. See illustration. October 1. 2 feet. When 

 first open the deep rose-pink center is surrounded by the clearest sparkling pink 

 imaginable, changing to soft pink shading to white with age. 30 cts. each. 



JEWEL. Pompon. October 5. 2 feet. Flowers 1 H inches across, of violet-mauve 

 color with a steely glint. It is the most perfectly formed pompon we have seen and 

 was in great demand by visitors to our fields when the Chrysanthemums were 

 blooming. The flowers come in compact clusters and are long-lasting when cut. 

 40 cts. each. 



MORIFOLIUM. One of the ancestors of all Chrysanthemums, and one of the 



daintiest flowers in the fall garden. Low plants, with healthy, attractive foliage, 

 send up big, branching bloom-shoots which are literally covered during September 

 and October with masses of single pink flowers less than an inch in diameter. As a 

 cut-flower it is airily graceful as well as unusually beautiful. 30 cts. each. 



OCTOBER DAWN. Decorative. October 5. 2 feet. Beautiful soft daybreak- 

 pink, without contrasting tints. Makes exquisite bouquets. 30 cts. each. 



R. MARION HATTON. Decorative Pompon. See illustration. September 25. 

 3 feet. Its 2-inch flowers of clear canary-yellow are produced in surprising quantities. 

 The best small yellow. 30 cts. each. 



RUTH CUMMING. Decorative. October 10. 2 feet. Lovely blooms of rich 

 terra-cotta-bronze. One of the loveliest in this color. 30 cts. each. 



RUTH HATTON. Decorative Pompon. See illustration. October 1. 3 feet. 

 The most prolific-blooming Chrysanthemum. Plants produce myriads of lovely 

 2-inch flowers of clear ivory-white, having a lemon-yellow tint in the center when 

 first opening. 30 cts. each. 



SEPTEMBER QUEEN. Decorative. September 15. 18 inches. Large, shaggy 

 white flowers almost cover the low plants from the middle of September until hard 

 frost. 30 cts. each. 



VIVID. Decorative. October 1. 2J^ feet. Big, shaggy flowers the color of an 

 American Beauty rose. A totally different Chrysanthemum color. 30 cts. each.
