OKEBR'S GAROEN 



CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



These are now universally popular for outdoor bedding, and consider, 

 ing their many good qualities, there is no cause for surprise to see them 

 cultivated so extensively. They produce a lavish profusion of blooms, 

 giving color, life and beauty to the garden just at a time when other plants 

 have been destroyed by frost and are looking their worst. Frost does not 

 malerially affect the flowering, and it still frequently happens that an armful 

 of flowers can be cut late in November. They are quite hardy if planted 

 in a well-drained position, and, with a good covering of leaves or litter 

 during the winter, will take care of themselves. 



The constantly increasing demand has induced us to try out an extensive 

 collection, from which we have selected and offer the twenty-five most 

 dependable varieties.

 large, pure white flowers in September and October.
