Since 1890 we have originated and distributed 643 varieties of Chrysanthe' 
mums, which are the most popular at the present time. 
Our products predominate in all American lists and include all of the leading 
types. 
OUR PEDIGREED STOCK 
The best of animal or plant products are those bred for a specific purpose 
and known as pedigreed strains. 
Since 1907 we have devoted our time and energy to the improvement of all 
types of Chrysanthemums. 
Our success in this field of endeavor is well known and needs no comments.
