THE ELM CITY NURSERY COMPANY,

made in the improvement of the

specialists is truly wonderful. European 
firms offer several hundred varieties and

tried at the Arnold Aboretum at Bos-

cream of the new varieties. You will

THAT we can greatly prolong the season of brilliant color so acceptably in the 
garden by using these hardy Chrysanthemums naturally makes them very 
popular. 
These Garden Pompon varieties have their own personal attractiveness quite 
as pronounced in their way as the larger green-house sorts. We have collected an 
assortment of these hardy kinds which gives a great range of color and form. The 
plants we offer if given good culture will bloom freely the same season they are 
planted. It is well to select a place for planting these chrysanthemums where 
there is some shelter from the north winds, such as the south side of a building, 
hedge or fence.
