Japanese Mountain 
Chrysanthemums 
The Japanese Mountain Chrysanthemum is in many ways superior to 
other varieties of Chrysanthemum. It is easily grown, can be grown in¬ 
doors or out, and is extremely hardy. It can be trained into a symmet¬ 
rical bush or grown as a trailing plant. 
The Japanese Mountain Chrysanthemum has a great range of colors, 
including pure white, lemon, golden yellow, pink, rose, scarlet, crimson 
and many other intermediate shades. It has varied forms of flowers such 
as large and small double, semi-double, single, quilled and crested. 
While the Japanese Mountain Chrysanthemum is a hardy perennial, it 
comes into bloom the first year from sowing. Naturally, it will grow to 
quite a good sized bush if left by itself, and if pinched two or three times 
a fine shaped plant can be obtained. By proper pinching and staking 
you can grow them to the most showy and artistic style of hanging or 
spray pot plants. The flowers keep in good growing condition a month or 
more after cutting, and unlike most varieties of Chrysanthemums, the 
foliage keeps fresh and green. The blooming plants sell themselves wher¬ 
ever shown.

The best Chysanthemums are produced from young plants. Oversized 
field clumps usually produce shorter stems and smaller flowers. We offer 
young plants, started in pots, ready to grow as soon as set out. They 
should not be planted until after danger of frost and unless some date is 
specified in your order we will ship when we think best. 
Chrysanthemums cannot be shipped into Wyoming. 
Pink Cushion Chrysanthemum 
Probably the most satisfactory of all outdoor Chrysanthemums. Pink 
Cushion forms a dense mound or cushion 2 feet across and 15 to 18 inches 
in height. Commences to bloom the last of August and flowers through¬ 
out the balance of the season. One plant will produce more flowers than 
any other variety, with hundreds of flowers open at one time; so many 
in fact that the foliage is almost entirely covered. Although perfectly 
hardy, it will make as satisfactory a house plant as anything you have 
ever tried. 35c each; 3 for 75c; 12 for $2.25, postpaid.
