September Chrysanthemums 



We offer a carefully selected list of these popular Chrysanthemums, a 

 selection of the best European varieties and two American sorts. These 

 give us a splendid display from the middle of September to the second 

 week in November. The proper way to grow this type is outdoors; the 

 plants should not be disbudded but allowed to grow naturally, making as 

 many shoots as possible. Under these conditions this type does wonderfully 

 well in most parts of the country.
