of Merit 
The Editor of The Garden 
Magazine considered the three 
Chrysanthemums shown here 
worthy of pictorial representa- 
tion in the big Novelty Review 
last month. This is but a just 
tribute to their unusual charac- 
Yondota teristics which are bound to 
find recognition wherever ’Mums are grown. Because 
we devote our efforts to Chrysanthemums exclusively 
most of the sorts introduced by us are recognized as 
leaders everywhere. During the past twenty-seven years 
we have evolved 
Top Notchers in 
all Classes 
If you are fond of ’Mums, write 
i s. We grow sorts to please every 
fancy, from the mammoth exhi- 
bition kinds to the tiny but freely 
flowering, old-fashioned Pom- 
pons. With our early, midseason 
and late kinds you can enjoy 
the beautiful “Queens of Au- 
tumn” during a long season.

Cornell 
Systems of Irrigation 
make you 
6 ‘ rain -independent ’ 
W HEN your neighbors’ lawns and 
gardens are burning up during the 
dry days of midsummer, your 
grounds will be flourishing in luxuriant 
green, if irrigated by the Cornell Systems. 
For all time these systems deliver you 
from the anxieties and losses due to un- 
certain weather. 
Cornell Systems are quickly installed, without 
injury to the ground. They eliminate the ineffici- 
ent, time-wasting hose. And they are inexpensive 
to operate. 
The Underground Systems for Lawns, illus- 
trated below, lends beauty to any lawn, and does 
not interfere with mowing. 
The Overhead System for Gardens consists of 
upright pipes rising from underground lines. No 
overhead piping to interfere with 
f cultivation. No small apertures to 
become clogged. 
The famous Cornell “Rain Cloud ” 
Nozzle produces an artificial rain 
which can be instantly regulated at 
will from a fine mist to a heavy shower. 
For small lawns we recommend our 
Portable Sprinkler, covering areas 
from 15 to 45 feet in diameter.
