LARGE-FLOWERED 
CAN GIVE COLOR AND CHEER 
Autumn should be bright with color to offset the gloom of early dusk. 
Now is the time to prepare to bring all the color of the northern forests 
into your own back yard this fall. You don't have to move big trees to do 
it. Just set out a collection of small, young Chrysanthemum plants, 
putting them in every sunny spot in your yard that is not already adding 
to your joy of living. 
The amount of growth a Chrysanthemum plant makes the first season 
has to be seen to be imagined. Small, young plants set out in early spring 
will be full grown before the end of summer, ready to give you 
more blooms than you will care to take the time to count. There 
are few flowers that are so little trouble to grow and that give 
so much glorious color-beauty. 
Note the various economical collections offered in this catalog, 
and especially this large-flowered group offered on these two 
pages. 50 ctg> ea . 3 of Qne variety f or $1.25 ppd.

Betty. See illustration. One of our own introductions of which
