ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS 
HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
These are all very early 
varieties with full double, 
good sized flowers, selected 
for their earliness and hardi¬ 
ness. They begin to bloom 
the last of August and being 
frost-resisting, will continue 
to flower profusely until a 
very hard frost, often well 
into November, giving color, 
life and beauty to an other¬ 
wise empty garden. They 
are also root-hardy and will 
stand the winter most any¬ 
where if given some protec¬ 
tion of litter or leaves. 
Hardy Chrysanthemums—Petit Louis 
CRANFORDIA. An unusually early flowering sort that is nearly perfect in flower and 
stem. Foliage on the stern comes up nearly to the flower itself. Plants usually carry from 15 
to 20 good flowers of deep bronze-yellow. 
FIRELIGHT. Brilliant carmine, shaded with scarlet, usually in condition to cut in October 
—either indoors or outside. Certainly a fine color and very desirable. 
NORMANDIE. One of the earliest, and by many considered the very best. Color distinct 
and unusual for an outdoor ‘Mum, being creamy white. Plant upright, and flower stems 
strong. 
PETIT LOUIS. Another unusual color, being silvery mauve. The plant is compact but 
sends up many branches of beautiful flowers which last well when cut. 
PROVENCE. A very fine large plant bearing on strong stiff stems a profusion of good sized 
flowers having bright pink petals with gold points. 
WINNETKA. The only pure snow-white hardy out doors Chrysanthemum I have evor 
seen. Very free flowering—usually in bloom from July until frost. 
Price of any of the above Hardy Chrysanthemums, 20c each; 3 for 55c, postpaid.
