Chrysanthemums 
HARDY GARDEN VARIETIES 
The following varieties of these well known plants have been 
selected for their hardiness as well as for their beautiful colors. 
There are no plants grown in our gardens that are so lovely late 
in summer or early autumn. 
Culture. To grow these plants well it is essential that the soil 
should be deeply dug and liberally enriched before planting. Heavy 
soils should have plenty of decayed vegetable refuse and sand, as 
well as manure, added to lighten its texture. The safest time to 
set out plants is the first or second week in May. Planted earlier 
the plants often get checked by frost and do not make good 
progress afterwards. If to be grown in the mixed border we 
advise not less than three plants of one kind to be grown in a 
group. After flowering cut the stems off close to the ground, place 
a mulch of cinder ashes around the crown of each, or cover with 
clean straw. Plant in spring only, 18 inches apart. Lift and divide 
every second year for best results. 
Adironda. The small compact flowers completely cover the plant 
when in bloom. The flowers are a rich bronze with coppery gold 
center. Very early and very hardy. 
Aladdin. (The Perpetual Flowering Chrysanthemum). The flowers 
are borne on erect stems, the terminal buds giving the first 
bloom. As the plant develops the lateral branches make a sur¬ 
prising growth, throwing the lateral and sub-lateral flowers well 
above the first terminal blooms, thus giving a continuous suc¬ 
cession of bloom. The first blooms appear late July and early 
August, the color at first being an exquisite warm coppery 
bronze, with an overlay of orange-apricot shade. The coloring 
in the first weeks of its summer bloom has been accurately com¬ 
pared with the Talisman rose. As the season advances the flowers 
take on a pinkish or terra-cotta-copper shade, which deepens in 
early autumn. Requires no staking, 3 inches high. Doz., $2.00, 
100, $15.00. 
Angelo. A lovely, very early, free-flowering pink variety. The large 
blooms resist the effects of bad weather to a remarkable degree 
and therefore are always good. 
Argenteuillais. Well shaped scarlet bronzy flowers tipped with gold 
are produced in great quantities. Exceptionally hardy variety of 
medium height. 
Boston. The beautiful bronzy orange flowers are produced in great 
abundance in well branched heads on tall, erect stems. Also 
noted for its unusual hardiness. 
Bronze Button. Late, free-flowering, of medium height, producing 
large heads of tiny button-like, bronze colored flowers. Very hardy 
and a great bloomer. 
Brune Poitevine. An outstanding and fine variety of medium height. 
The flowers are fairly large, loose in structure and produced in 
great abundance. The deep velvety reddish-bronze flower petals 
have a golden reverse, greatly adding to the general beauty of the 
plant. Flowers very early and the plant is exceptionally hardy. 
Capt. R. H. Cook. A most popular pompon-flowered variety. 
The clear deep rose colored petals are tipped golden bronze, 
creating a most unique appearance. Tall grower; hardy. 
Carrie. As early as Glory of Seven Oaks and of practically the 
same habit, but the flowers are a clean, clear pale yellow. 
Comoleta. Very tall growing sort. Late-flowering. Very large and 
double yellow flowers with reddish orange shadings. 
Daybreak. Daybreak will flower about October 10th, and can be 
depended on for a fine display each season. The flower is of 
single type, almost 3 inches across, soft shell-pink and has a 
noticeable sweet fragrance. Splendid variety for cutting or garden 
display. Strong and free growing. Height, 2 feet. 
Excelsior. In habit much the same as White Doty but with most 
brilliant golden yellow flowers. It is perhaps more prolific, 
certainly an easily grown and most satisfactory variety. 
Firelight. Tall, midseason, large flowering. Very showy spikes 
covered with heads of red flowers tipped with copper. Very hardy. 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS—Continued. 
Frances Whittlesey. A decided improvement in this particular 
color. Habit is stocky and dwarf, averaging 18 inches in height. 
Color, rich bronze and garnet—just right for the fall garden. It 
commences to flower in late September and makes a gorgeous 
showing through October, having the ability to resist consider¬ 
able frost in the open flowers. 
Glory of Seven Oaks. This is the first outdoor Chrysanthemum to 
bloom, commencing to do so in August; its soft but clear masses 
of bloom have made it a great favorite. Medium height and fine 
for a planting in front of taller varieties. 
Gypsy Girl. A garden variety of the single type, crimson In color, 
shading to chestnut-crimson. It commences blooming in early 
October, resisting early frosts, and it flowers well into November. 
Harvest Home. Beautiful midseason-flowering variety. Medium 
height and covered with large golden yellow flowers about 3 
Inches across. 
Idolph. About 18 to 24 inches high. Midseason, flowering very pro¬ 
fusely. Produces light rose-pink, very double flowers with yellow 
center. 
Jean Cumming. This new variety is regarded as a very great im¬ 
provement on older white varieties. Large flowers of purest white, 
with the softest yellow and bluish shading at the center of the 
buds. Growth erect and wiry, height medium. Commences 
flowering about September 15, and having exceptional keeping 
qualities, is undoubtedly the best white variety to date. 
Marie Antoinette. A late, sure blooming sort, bushy and very free- 
flowering. Excellent deep pink flowers. 
Mitzi. A delightfully free-flowering variety. Rather late but the 
small, brilliant clear yellow flowers light up the garden. The 
best and hardiest yellow button variety. 
Mrs. F. H. Bergen. A lovely pale pink variety, the center of the 
flowers a creamy-white. The whole plant is of medium height and 
noted for its good foliage as well as hardiness. 
Mrs. H. Craig. Very early-flowering sort, rather dwarf in growth. 
Large, shaggy yellow flowers overlaid with orange-crimson. 
Mrs. H. Harrison. Medium height. Plant produces large clusters of 
fine, full double pink flowers with cream-pink center. Excellent 
pompon. 
Mrs. Phillips. The large daisy-like, single pink flowers with a clear 
golden center are often three to four inches across. It is an out¬ 
standing single variety noted for freedom of bloom and hardiness. 
Nellie Blake. A fine aster-flowered type. Midseason. Flowers a rich 
reddish copper, long lasting. 
Nellie Kleris. Midseason, of medium height with splendid clear pink 
blossoms. Petals are decidedly incurved, and compact. Two inches 
across. 
Oconto. The largest white 'mum for outdoor growing, flowers often 
four to five inches across on good strong stems, therefore excel¬ 
lent for cutting. 
October Girl. A sturdy Chrysanthemum of vigorous habit. The 
flowers are single or semi-double, fully 2 inches across, clear 
rosy-pink on opening, becoming shaded with lavender when fully 
opened. Very prolific. In full flower by October 1st. 
October Gold. This variety is noted for its large flowers, which are 
freely produced on a plant of medium height. The loose flowers 
open coppery orange and change gradually to golden yellow, the 
center of the bloom a clear yellow with lovely pink sheen. 
October Dawn. Lovely shade of soft daybreak-pink, entirely free 
from contrasting tints. This variety will greatly appeal to those 
who appreciate the more delicate color effects. The flowers are of 
good size, full-petaled, and of nice decorative type. It is of 
medium height, but well branched, bushy and very free and 
effective in the garden or as a cut flower. Commences flowering 
about October 5th. 
Ouray. A lovely pompon variety, in fact, it is considered one of the 
most brilliant of Chrysanthemums. The masses of blooms are a 
rich bronze with coppery glow. Very early flowering and of 
medium height, noted also for its hardiness. 
Petite Louise. One of Totty's splendid introductions. Very early 
flowering and of medium height. Plants completely hidden by 
pale pink, shaggy flowers about 3 inches across. A very free- 
flowering sort and a great favorite. 
Provence. Early and dwarf, very free flowering. Pale pink flowers 
fading to white with yellow center. Excellent cut flower; hardy. 
R. Marion Hatton. For a mass color effect in the garden, we know 
of no variety comparable to this new yellow. The flower is of the 
Decorative Pompon type, not large or impressive in itself, but in 
addition to exceptional freedom in blooming, it is one of the 
earliest to flower, and certainly the brightest canary-yellow 
available, flowering from late September on. It is remarkably 
resistant to frost. 
Old Rose. Stout erect stems densely covered with dark green foliage 
topped with a cluster of semi-double flowers which are about 
2% or 3 inches in diameter. The color is best described as old 
rose, totally void of any objectionable pink or lilac shades so 
prevalent in Chrysanthemums. This lovely pastel shaded ’mum is 
unquestionably the loveliest early garden variety of recent intro¬ 
duction. Per 12, $2.00; Per 100. $15.00. 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS—Continued. 
Ruth Cumming. This variety is considered by some authorities to 
be the best all-around garden Chrysanthemum. Flowering about 
October 10, it has proved consistently good, regardless of the 
season, and has never failed to make a fine showing. Rich reddish 
bronze In color, with terra-cotta shades, aging to an even, soft 
bronze tone and one that immediately attracts attention. 
Snowdrop. Midseason and of medium height, plant rather loosely 
formed. The best pure white button known; is very hardy. 
Tints of Gold. Early-flowering, of medium height. Flowers are 
large, of rich golden yellow suffused with red near base of petals. 
Very striking variety. 
Vivid. A very striking and effective variety, the color of which very 
closely approaches that of the American Beauty rose a rosy 
crimson or amaranth shade new to the earlier flowering Chry¬ 
santhemums. Flowering about October 1, it is extremely vigorous 
and very free. 
White Doty. The tall, straight upright flower stalks, never needing 
any support, carry large heads of pure white pompon flowers. 
Excellent for cutting or in the background of other varieties. 
Zelia. Midseason and rather tall with old-fashioned large orange 
flowers produced in quantity. A splendid outdoor variety. 
The price of the above named sorts is $1.25 per doz.; $8.00 per 100. 
Will be supplied in pots and are guaranteed to bloom perfectly.
