PEGGY ANN HOOVER 
This is a Hardy Chrysanthemum en¬ 
tirely different and distinct in form. The 
flower petals are of the lilac pink order, 
flowers are on the style of a ball or show 
Dahl ia. The stamens are exceptionally long 
and incurved. It is a strong grower, grow¬ 
ing from 2 feet to 30 inches high. The 
flowers when cut and placed in water will 
keep in perfect condition for two or three 
weeks. 
Persia. Well formed semi-double blooms 
of deep rosy carmine, compact growth. 
Providence. Bright pink, petals tipped 
yellow.

anthemum of a rich bronzy terra-cotta in

tially open, a delicate shade of lemon- 
yellow. 
Ruth Warren Smith. Large single daisy. 
Gold with red shading. Good habit. Height 
three feet. 
R. Marion Hatton. Decorative Pompon 
type, not large or impressive in itself, but 
in addition to exceptionally freedom in 
blooming it is one of the earliest to flower 
and certainly the brightest canary-yellow 
available, flowering from late September 
on. 
Snappy. Semi-double with golden reverse. 
Tassiva. Early white; Aster. Without ques¬ 
tion this variety is the finest of all white 
Chrysanthemums, growing 18 inches tall, 
flowering in abundance from September 
until frost. The exceptionally heavy crop 
of flowers completely covers the foliage 
and the entire plant. For best effects it 
should be planted 2 feet apart. We very 
highly recommend this as one of the most 
wonderful landscape Chrysanthemums. 
Vesuve. Aster type. Good sized flowers 
of deepest mahogany red. Strong grower. 
Vivid. A very striking and effective vari¬ 
ety, the color of which very closely ap¬ 
proaches that of the American Beauty 
rose, a rosy crimson or amaranth shade 
new to the earlier flowering Chrysanthe¬ 
mums. It is extremely vigorous and very 
free. 
Winnetka. Pure white, very fine flowering. 
Yellow Gem. Very neat and attractive. 
The color is a bright canary-yellow with¬ 
out shading. Growth is wiry and com¬ 
pact. Splendid for cutting.
