MY FAVORITE GARDEN CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS, continued 
lovely, with unusu¬ 
ally large single 
flowers much like a 
pink daisy. 
Ofcoursc, our col¬ 
lection could not be 
considered complete 
without some of 
the white varieties. 
Among these I 
should put Irene as 
the earliest of all 
whites, coming into 
bloom soon after 
the Bohemia; the 
only fault I find is 
that at times the 
foliage is affected 
by mildew. Edna 
is another delight¬ 
ful white Pompon, 
while white Lillian 
Doty is a distinc¬ 
tive, new, tall va¬ 
riety, in every way 
equal to the pink 
Lillian Doty. 
Queen of the 
Whites is a fine, 
strong, tall-growing 
variety, with pure 
white petals. The 
habit and foliage 
are fine; although Queen of the Whites; blooms freely the whole season 
midseason in its 
blooming period, the flowers continue until the very last of the season. 
For an extra-Iargc-flowering white variety we must again turn to the 
so-called “florist’s varieties,” and choose Clementine Touset which blooms 
sufficiently early to escape the fall frosts. If extra-large blooms arc desired, 
they can easily be secured by disbudding. The variety is sufficiently hardy 
to withstand severe winters. 
There are many desirable and beautiful varieties that I would like to 
name, but I fear the list would be so long that it would create confusion 
in the mind of the novice in Chrysanthemum-growing and thus render it 
difficult to make a selection. This, of course, would entirely defeat the 
object of this booklet. To avoid such confusion, I am adding, without 
comment, a short list of varieties that I have found to be entirely satis¬ 
factory, and which I can recommend to all who desire a complete collection 
of Hardy Chrysanthemums.
