Chrysa^nthemums 



Two hundred years ago the Chrysan- 

 themum first became known in Europe. 

 Since that time the interest in it has 

 never been allowed to abate, and through 

 the indomitable enterprise of the Ameri- 

 ( an growers, who have paid it wondcrtu 

 devotion, it has as if by magic developed 

 into the unquestioned Qaeen of Autumn- 

 blooming flowers. For massive flowers 

 grandeur of color, ease of culture and 

 certaintv to bloom, either in the open 

 ground or in pots, there is no plant that 

 will surpass it, and but few that equal 

 it Their season of bloom lasts up until 

 severe frost. As in Roses, we carry all 

 that is good. No varieties of merit have 

 escaped our notice. 



When g-rown in pots, if treated in the 

 manner described by a customer on page 

 SO, who gives his experience, fine, large 

 specimen flowers can be secured. There 

 is absolutelv no uncertainty as to your 

 success if vou will but follow the instruc- 

 tions given. If you have never seen the 

 beauties of the newer Chrysanthemums, 

 the varieties which we offer, grown as 

 described on page 80, will prove revela- 

 tions to vou. We offer them at low 

 prices and thev should be included in 

 everv order. We would like to see the 

 Queen of Autumn growing in every home. 

 It is the people's flower.
