Hardy Garden 

 Chrysanthemums 



No plants in our gardens attract more attention in 

 the fall of the year than these Hardy Garden varieties. 

 Blooming, as they do, after practically all other garden 

 flowers have passed away, they enliven the autumn 

 landscape with their brilliant flowers so profusely dis- 

 played. With reasonable care they are absolutely win- 

 ter hardy and their acquisition brings a permanent 

 addition to the garden. 



In the following lists we present the result of over 

 a quarter century of painstaking selection and hybrid- 

 ization. While many old favorites may be missing, you 

 may rest assured that they have been replaced by vari- 

 eties which have proved superior in some desirable 

 characteristic. We believe we have the most worth- 

 while collection of this class of plants in commerce. 



Wholesale prices quoted are for strong 2-inch pot 

 plants ready for delivery after March 1st.

 ing, the following bloom from one to two weeks 



earlier than the general collection. 



Abundance. A wonderful new salmon-red with golden 

 reverse. Exceptionally free flowering, compact plant. 



Aladdin. Sensational early bronze. Because of its ten- 

 dency to bloom during the summer when Chrysanthe- 

 mums cannot produce good flowers due to the heat, 

 we advise keeping the plant pruned back until early 

 August.
