ELEGANT HARDY 

 CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



These beautiful Clirysanthemums were selected 

 for hardiness, and are the best varieties for out- 

 door planting. They yield a great profusion of 

 bloom late in the season, when other flowers have 

 been destroyed by frost; a desirable and useful 

 acquisition to any garden. L. f. following the 

 name indicates the variety belongs to the Large 

 Flower or Aster section, and P. to the Pompon 

 or Button class. The large flowered varieties are 

 especially useful for cutting and decorating. The 

 collection here ofi"ered has been assembled with 

 great care by a close study of them for the past 

 ten years, and I confidently believe it to be the 

 best collection of hardy varieties of the Chrysan- 

 themum ever gathered together.
