Paul J. Howard's Chrysanthemums 
“The Queen of Autumn Flowers” 
No other flower produces so abundantly such a wealth of rich color 
in the Fall as the Chrysanthemum. Gorgeous displays may be had by plant¬ 
ing masses of the small flowering types such as the Anemone, Pompon 
and Single kinds. The large flowered types are also very easily grown and 
by disbudding, beautiful huge flowers may be had for cut-flower decora¬ 
tion or exhibition. 
From hundreds of splendid varieties we have chosen our list to offer 
a complete range of types and colors, selecting the ones which are most 
desirable for garden culture—reliable and always producing perfect flow¬ 
ers. Young, vigorous plants in 21/2-inch pots are ready beginning the last 
week in April. May is the best month for planting.
