Hardy Garden Chrysanthemums 

 The World's Best Collection 



2-incb pots — Beady in March 



For a quarter century we have been selecting and 

 producing new varieties of Garden Chrysanthemums, 

 constantly endeavoring to increase their desirability 

 and usefulness for outdoor use. As newer, better, and 

 hardier varieties appear, we are obliged to discard 

 many old favorites. You may rest assured that the 

 newer ones selected in the same colors have qualities 

 of superiority justifying their trial and adoption by 

 you. We were particularly successful in creating a flne 

 lot of wonderfully superior varieties having Koreanum 

 as one of the dominating strains. The increased hardi- 

 ness of these has been demonstrated. In the 1936 set 

 of ten offered below, we succeeded in producing larger 

 flowers with a greatly enhanced range of colors. In 

 addition, the varieties in this set bloom from one to 

 three weeks earlier than Korean crosses heretofore of- 

 fered. They will have passed their prime before Injury 

 from severe frost occurs.
