Brilliant Hardy Chrysanthemums 



< ■ <« AS SHOWN IN COLOR ON OPPOSITE PAGE 



\\'hat other flower can compare with these — 

 "autumn's parting gift to the garden"? Coming as 

 they do after most other flowers have finished, and 

 blooming histily until hard freezing stops them, 

 their bright colors and strong, spicy fragrance are 

 more and more appreciated every year. 



Phint Chrysanthemums in rich soil and do not 

 let them sufTcr for want of water, and they will be 

 little troubled by insects or disease. 



After the ground freezes, cut the stems close to 

 the ground and cover the stumps with some light 

 material which will not smother them. 



We have this season added several new varieties 

 and believe that the following are the best of their 

 type and color.
