Hardy Pompone Chrysanthemum. 



Pomi'onb Chrysanthhmum. 



These beautiful small flowered or Pompone varieties have 

 almost entirely been lost sight of during recent years, but are 

 now again coming to the front, and are certain to become 

 popular for out-door bedding purposes, in fact, when their 

 absolute hardiness is considered, together with the abundant, 

 almost lavish, profusion of blooms from which one may cut 

 continuously, and also the fact that the plants lend a coloration 

 to the garden just at a time when other plains have been 

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

 materially affect the flowering, and it will frequently happen 

 that an armful of flowers can be cut when after a sharp touch 

 they are bejeweled with crystals deposited by Jack Frost. The 



collection we offer embraces all the leading colors. All the 

 varieties offered are hardy, and with but a slight covering of 

 leaves or coarse stable litter during the winter, will take care of 

 themselves after once planted.
