Chrysanthemums 



Queen of the Autumn 



In May or June, prepare boxes 4 or 5 inches 

 deep, leaving ample cracks for drainage. Fill 

 the box with a compost, three parts decomposed 

 sod or garden soil and one part cow-manure, 



well rotted. Add one pint each of bone meal 

 and wood-ashes to each bushel of compost and 

 mix well. Plant young plants in two rows, 8 to 

 10 inches apart; train to single stem and stake. 

 Place the box in sunny position; water as needed. 

 Disbud, leaving but one to each plant, selecting 

 the best specimen. Mulch with well-rotted 

 manure. Keep plants growing vigorously. 

 Toward frost, place in sunny window in cool 

 room with night temperature of 45 degrees.

Dahlias 



The Dahlia is the people's flower. It makes a 

 more gorgeous, dazzling display than any other 

 outdoor-grown flower. Immense bloom can be 

 had from our improved varieties, which in size, 

 beauty and style rival the finest house-grown, 

 single-stem chrysanthemums. We have a mag- 

 nificent collection of the best sorts grown. 



The Dahlia is of the easiest possible culture. 

 Plant in good soil in the full sunlight, and keep 

 the ground well worked or mulched, and you 

 will be repaid by showers of bloom. When the 

 frost kills the tops, lift the roots and place in 

 any cellar where they will not freeze. I offer 

 strong, pot-grown plants that will bloom early 

 and continuously, and be far more satisfactory 

 than roots, which I do not sell.
