Chrysanthemums 
From Greek, Chrysos—Gold, and anthemon—a flower. These are so popular and well known for their lavish 
bloom and exceeding decorative value, that no further introduction seems necessary. We pride ourselves on the

and eminently suited to our conditions.

Nipponicum. This is a hardy, shrubby, single flower¬ 
ing variety that is not killed back to the ground like 
other hardy sorts, but buds out from the old canes 
like the Hydrangea. Grows into a handsome sym¬ 
metrical bush and is completely covered in October 
with large white daisies that last for weeks when 
cut. 2 to 3 feet. 10-11.

and graceful; flowers glistening white; 4 inches to 5 
inches across, very free flowering; very small yellow
