POT PLANT TYPE 



A short, compact-growing, large-flowered variety should make a good pot-plant provided it produces 

 double flowers on any bud. The so-called Decorative type make excellent pot plants. The Caprices are 

 unexcelled. Of tlu- large-flowertd kinds listed elsewhere, l'.arl>,ira 1 ) i\ is, Glory of the Pacific, Greystone, 

 Polly Rose, Well's l ate Pink, and \ ello\v I'oIIn Ru-,. will ,;i\c a m 1, , liun of color that will be found satis-

 and Yellow Garza are the best varieties. We refer you to the sections in which the ab<)% e-named are listed.

EARLY FLOWERING CHRYSANTHEMUMS FOR 

 OUTDOOR GROWING 



The question of hardiness in the Chrysanthemum family is such that to call these hardy, as we have 

 formerly done, is unlair, because so much depends upon the character ot the soil and the drainage. Too 

 much covering in winter has ruined more plants than a cover of any kind has sa\ed. Some firms class 

 these as Decorative varieties. Several in the list do well indoors, as among the Pompons and Singles there 

 are those which do well outdoors. The varieties listed have larger blooms than the large-flowered Pompons, 

 unless otherwise described.
