Chrysanthemums 
Glories of Autumn 
The Chrysanthemum has been well named “The Queen of Autumn’’. There is no class of herbaceous plants so 
indispensable for garden decoration or for cutting purposes. The range and variety of types is very large and includes 
those of the Japanese class with their immense fluffy blooms, the formal large-flowered incurved sorts, the dainty 
pompon or button Chrysanthemum, the anemone-flowered class and the handsome singles. In the past years the 
small-flowered types, such as the pompon, single and anemone sections, have become very popular. Their extremely 
decorative effect in the garden is beyond compare and during their blooming season they glory in all the glowing 
autumn tints. Nothing more beautiful can be imagined in floral effect than low borders or beds planted with anemone, 
single or pompon Chrysanthemums. The flowers are borne so profusely as to entirely hide the foliage. The royal 
stretches of color obtainable with these beautiful flowers will delight the eye and contribute materially to the life of an 
autumn garden. The plants we offer are all propagated from vigorous soft wood top cuttings grown on in 2p£-inch 
pots. Ready May 1. 
Chrysanthemums of the Japanese Type 
Included under this heading are the very large- 
flowered sorts, either formal in shape, such as the 
incurved and reflexed forms, or those with petals 
curled and interlaced. They are varieties with which, 
in order to obtain maximum size, disbudding must be 
resorted to. If allowed to grow in a natural condition 
the flowers are produced in spray-like form and are 
larger than those of the hardy anemone or single- 
flowered types.

Chrysanthemums (Hardy Varieties) 
Under this heading we offer a selection of the small- 
flowered types, including those of the pompon, single 
and anemone-flowered classes. These small-flowered 
Chrysanthemums are today one of the most popular of 
all. Their dainty blossoms are borne in spray-like 
masses, they are exquisite for interior decoration, last 
well when cut, require no artificial manipulation, such 
as disbudding, etc., and we believe are one of the most 
pleasing of any of the classes.
