CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
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 in 
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. 
Aladdin Each $0.30, Doz. $3.00, 100 $20.00 
(The Perpetual Flowering Chrysanthemum). The 
flowers are borne on erect stems, the terminal 
buds giving the first bloom. As the plant de¬ 
velops the lateral branches make a surprising 
growth, throwing the lateral and sub-lateral flow¬ 
ers well above the first terminal blooms, thus giv¬ 
ing a continuous succession of bloom. The first 
blooms appear late in July and early August, the 
color at first being an exquisite warm coppery 
bronze, with an overlay of orange-apricot shade 
which deepens in early autumn. 
Old Rose Each $0.30, Doz. $3.00, 100 $20.00 
Stout erect stems densely covered with dark 
green foliage topped with a cluster of semi¬ 
double flowers which are about 2 % to 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 Chrysanthemum is unques¬ 
tionably the loveliest early garden variety of re¬ 
cent introduction. 
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. 
Angelo 
A lovely, very early, free-flowering pink variety. The 
large blooms resist the effects of bad weather to a 
remarkable degree and are therefore always good. 
Argentueillals 
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 and 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. 
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. 
Bxcelslor 
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 satis¬ 
factory variety. 
Firelight 
Tall, midseason, large flowering. Very showy spikes 
covered with heads of red flowers tipped with copper. 
Very hardy. 
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 considerable 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 
Avell 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 
profusely. Produces light rose-pink, very double flow¬ 
ers with yellow center. 
Jean Camming 
This new variety is regarded as a very great improve¬ 
ment on older white varieties. Large flowers of pur¬ 
est 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 un¬ 
doubtedly the best white variety to date. 
Marie Antoinette 
A late, sure blooming sort, bushy and very free-flower¬ 
ing. Excellent deep pink flowers. 
Mitzi 
A delightfully free-flowering variety. Bather 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. Ex¬ 
cellent pompon.

The large daisy-like, single pink flowers with a clear 
golden center are often three to four inches across. It 
is an outstanding 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 Klerls 
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 excellent for cutting. 
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 gar¬ 
den or as a cut-flower. Commences flowering about 
October 5th.
