its 8- to 10-inch clumps—veritable ro¬ 
settes of very dark, shiny foiiage—have 
been well worth while. From September 
into November a surprising quantity of 
stems spring up, each bearing a perfect

THE SET £ r 50c 
The following fine, rugged varieties assembled from Pompon, Anemone 
and Single classes have proven hardy throughout the middle west, with 
some protection, during winter. It is advisable to cut off the old tops to 
a few inches above the ground, then cover with old straw or leaves 
before winter sets in. The best blooms will result from annual trans¬ 
planting, separating the year-old clumps into small divisions. We call 
your attention to 
several new varie¬ 
ties of special 
value and attrac¬ 
tiveness, rather 
fully illustrated 
here and on page 
37 ; also seven 
choice varieties 
grouped on color 
page C. (Opposite 
page 32).

The Earliest Blooming Pink ’Mum.

bloom—18 inches high by 24 to 30 inches 
across when fully developed.

duce a thousand or more buds 
and 2-inch Aster flowers. Beau¬ 
tiful as specimen mounds; 
thrilling as a lineal edging; 
magnificent in mass forma¬ 
tion. Imagine the breath-taking 
effect of a smooth hillside 
carpeted with Pink Cushion 
bloom! The intermingling of 
deep rose buds with successive 
stages of tender lilac, blush- 
white, ivory and gold; is un¬ 
matched for appealing beauty 
by any other flowering plant.
