General List of Anemone 

 Chrysanthemums 



Bessie Flight. A bright rose-pink, having a full 

 center. 



Betsy Presby. Canary-yellow in color. Excellent 

 for pot culture or for cutting in sprays. 



Eugene Langaulet. Deep golden yellow in color 

 with a double row of petals just prominent enough to 

 class this very desirable variety with the Anemones. 

 The lateness of its blooming season enables the grower 

 to hold it for Thanksgiving. Its bright golden color and 

 its close resemblance to the Pompons recommend it 

 for general growing. 



Garza. The well-known white variety; considered 

 the best in its class. 



Golden Lida Thomas. A tall-growing pure Anem- 

 one variety. The flowers are nicely formed and of good 

 substance but not large. They are carried well apart 

 and for general growing for late cutting this should be a 

 genera! favorite. 



Lida Thomas. A tall-growing, late white, from 

 which the preceding is a sport. 



Princess. A cream-white seedling from Garza, 

 with ray petals evenly spaced around a large anem- 

 one center of quill petals. The habit of the plant is 

 good, growing to a medium height and covered with 

 flowers. 



Yellow Garza. Yellow sport of Garza. Similar to 

 the parent except in color. 



2V4-inch, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100

Hardy Chrysanthemums 



The garden, after frost has destroyed all else, can be filled with flowers, if proper selection is 

 made from the many varieties of Chrysanthemums that are root-hardy. Many of the early-flower- 

 ing type suffer from the frost, but the varieties we are offering here, based on extensive garden trials, 

 have been proved worthy of being classed as not only hardy but frost-resisting. They have given us 

 excellent bloom and have flowered well into November. 



By referring to the list of Pompon and Single varieties included in our Chrysanthemum section, 

 you will see that, with the exception of novelty varieties, which have not been wintered in the open, 

 the list from which to select is very large. W'e have included only those sorts that in early November 

 were satisfactory and really to be depended upon for the showing that the garden needs after the 

 October frosts. The glory of the fall garden depends upon the Hardy Chrysanthemums. The early- 

 flowering type, having flowers of good size and embracing a wide range of color, is admirably adapted 

 to garden planting. 



We offer you a selection from this comparatively new Chrysanthemum family, that includes 

 those varieties which have proved best suited to home-gardens in our New England climate. W'e 

 have chosen the best in each color and eliminated those which have failed to hold good foliage. W'e 

 believe this list is the best selection of Hardy Chrysanthemums that can be offered. 



The culture of the Chrysanthemum is comparatively simple. Plant in good rich garden soil that 

 is well drained, remembering that Chrysanthemums will not winter in heavy, wet, poorly drained 

 soil. Pinch back all shoots until July, and induce the plant to become bushy and well formed. 

 Use tobacco in some form to keep the plants clean from aphis — both green and black — as these 

 insects suck the juices of the plant and arrest its proper development. With these few simple rules 

 adhered to, they should do well and show their appreciation by being a blaze of color in the early 

 fall. Protect lightly with material that will not water-log, putting on the winter covering after the 

 really cold weather has come to stay. 



The selection we offer of this popular section of the Chrysanthemum family has been made after 

 testing, in our trial grounds and by field culture, the large assortment of varieties covered by this type. 

 We believe we have selected those which cannot fail to give satisfaction and which will bloom early 

 enough to display their wealth of flowers before the hard frosts. We have eliminated those varieties 

 which have not, on the 1 5th of October, shown their finished flowers.
