As it is in almost any class of plants, 
the standard varieties remain favorites. 
This is true with Hardy Chrysanthe¬ 
mums. It seems that the demand is still 
very heavy for these favorite older 
sorts. We ourselves like them to such 
an extent that we grow large quanti¬ 
ties every year and sell out completely 
on most of the varieties before the 
year is over. These Mums are very 
reasonable in price and they can also 
be purchased in almost any desired 
color and style of flower. Our assort¬ 
ment listed here represents by far the 
finest in the list of standard Crysan- 
themums.
