Henderson's "AUTUMN GLORY" Collection 



OF EARLY FLOWERING CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



(Shown in color on opposite page.) 

 Chrysanthemums, because of their profusion of bloom, easy culture, freedom from insects and disease are the most popular of all 

 autumn flowers. As many of our customers delight in growing a few varieties we have grouped together eight of the best early 

 flowering sorts for garden culture. The plants should be allowed to grow naturally without disbudding. Under these conditions 

 they should do well in most parts of the country. 



TONKIN 



This variety ranks as one of the best outdoor Chrysanthemums. The 

 growth is strong and branching, making many flowering snoots. The color 

 is reddish orange. An excellent sort for cutting in sprays. Price, 20c. each, 

 S2.00 per doz. 



TAPIS DE NEIGE 



This is one of the newer varieties, but it has shown itself to be one of the 

 finest early whites. The flowers are flat and are produced in large sprays. 

 The stems are long, holding the flowers firmly erect. Price, 20c. each, S2.00 

 per doz. 



GLORY OF SEVEN OAKS 



Flowers very early; color bright golden yellow. Because of its color and 

 the number of flowers it produces it is very popular both as a pot plant and 

 for garden culture. Price, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz.

A compact grower with fine foliage and stiff stems. Color rich buttercup 

 yellow. It flowers very freely, producing seven to eight medium-sized flowers 

 to the spray. Does well in pots. Price, 20c. each, S2.00 per doz.

 and gracefully quilled at the tips. One of .the most satisfactory varieties 

 for the garden. Price, 20c. each, S2.00 per doz. 



HARRY 



One of the showiest varieties we offer. Color bronzy-orange, red on 

 gold ground. Makes a nice pot plant when grown with two or three stems 

 to the plant. Price, 20c. each, S2.00 per doz.

 for outdoor blooming. The flowers are large with broad petals. Color light
