Price: 3 plants 75c, $3.00 per dozen, $20.00 per 100 
T he number of special forms of Hardy types is bewildering. The new Korean types, for instance, are 
proving most acceptable and charming. The outdoor Chrysanthemum is most certainly coming into its 
own; you shold stock up with the newer kinds and enjoy weeks of pleasure in a garden full of flowers 
at a season when the garden begins to look bare. A splendid way to do this is to have your plants growing 
in pots or in a service garden. They lift perfectly and move with little trouble. Try this and you wi II thank 
us for the suggestion. 
EARLY FLOWERING CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
The cultivation of these ’Mums is simple,- plant them in a rich well-drained piece of ground setting out 
the plants a foot apart and pinching them once or twice during the months of May or June. They will 
branch out and make beautiful bushes and give the cu 
plant in the garden. There is a place for this type of 
greenhouses, frames, or grows them in the open gard(

THE GARDEN CHRYSANTHEMUM 
Oh "Queen of Flowers’ in the fall 
We almost think you best of all, 
When all your friends are dry and dead 
Tis then you lift your stately head 
And march in wonderful array 
To brighten each October day. 
In dull November still you’re here 
And even in December, drear, 
In some warm nook we find a bloom 
To soften Winter’s coming gloom, 
More precious then than all the wea Ith 
Of summer garden’s brilliant health. 
All color schemes are found in you 
Excepting those including blue, 
Your bronze and gold, your pink and white 
Are dazzling in the fall sunlight. 
While reds and purples, dark and clear, 
Close the procession of the year.
