Chrysanthemums 



We grow Chrysanthemums m <|uaiuity. making a 

 specialty ot them. Our records shew iliat during the 

 winter and early spring ol igid \m- iimpagated 1.258,- 

 000. This figure we quote to gi\ i- ymi an idea ol the 

 e.xtent ol this branch of the busiiu s^. W e ha\ e m.ule a 

 specialty of the pompon type for nian\- \ i ars and haw. 

 we believe, without exception tlu- tnust \arietu> ihat 

 can be offered. The single varu ties are. to a large 

 extent, novelties of our own introduction; we have 

 offered to the trade in general the Mount Greenwood 

 seedlings in addition to many ot our own raising. We 

 have to offer another season a few new Anemone va- 

 rieties which are far superior to existing sorts. 



The growing of the exhibition sorts we have not 

 attempted on an extended scale, our plants of these 

 being grown in tin- ojn n ti. ld and allowed to flower 

 there without disliuddnv-; 01 s]iecia! culture, giving us 

 strong, healthy cuttin:-;~ lor (.ur trade. 



By far the larger part of our Chrysanthemum trade 

 is for the so-called general-purpose sorts, of which we 

 plant nearly 200.000 for cut-flowers. We do not aim 

 to carry a long list of worthless varieties merely for a 

 chance order. l)Ut confine our attention to those which 

 are realh- worth i;i owing by the general grower of 

 market ( lir\ -aiuln iiumis. This type — the "gen ral- 

 purpose varieties ' — will give the average grower better 

 .satisfaction than the exhibition sorts which, unless 

 grown to perfection by a competent gardener, must l)e 

 a disappointment. 



Our list of so-called "hardy" sorts is com.prehensive, 

 and includes a wide range of color and season. The 

 question of hardiness is largely dependent upon treat- 

 ment. Damp, cold soil will kill many a variety vhich
