CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
C HRYSANTHEMUMS deserve a place in every garden, coming as they do 
after the summer flowers have begun to wane, and continuing to bloom 
profusely in most places until well into November. Plant them in a rich, 
well-drained piece of ground, setting out the plants a foot apart and pinch¬ 
ing them once or twice during May or June. 12c each; 12 for $1.20.

and white. Should be grown in a hanging basket or in a pot set high to 
allow the plant to develop to full beauty. 15c each, or 4 for 50c.
