The best Chrysanthemums are produced from young plants. Oversized 
fleld clumps usually produce shorter stems and smaller flowers. We offer 
young plants, started in pots, ready to grow as soon as set out. They 
should not be planted until after danger of frost and unless some date is 
specified in your order we will ship when we think best. 
Chrysanthemums cannot be shipped into Wyoming. 
Double Japanese Mountain Chrysanthemur 
Pink Cushion Chrysanthemum 
PINK CUSHION 
Probably the most satisfactory of all outdoor Chry¬ 
santhemums. Pink Cushion forms a dense mound or 
cushion 2 feet across and 15 to 18 inches in height. 
Commences to bloom the last of August and flowers 
throughout, the balance of the season. One plant will 
produce more flowers than any other variety,'with hun¬ 
dreds of flowers open at one time; so many in fact that 
the foliage is almo.st entirely covered. Although per¬ 
fectly hardy, it will make as satisfactory a house plant 
as anything you have ever tried. 35c each; 3 for 75c; 
12 for $2.25, postpaid. 
The Japanese Mountain Chrysanthemum is in many ways 
superior to other varieties of Chrysanthemum. It is easily 
grown, can be grown indoors or out, and is extremely 
hardy. It can be trained into a symmetrical bush or 
grown as a trailing plant. 
The Japanese Mountain Chrysanthemum has a great 
range of colors, including pure white, lemon, golden yellow, 
pink, rose, scarlet, crimson and many other intermediate 
shades. It has varied forms of flowers such as large and 
small double, semi-double, single, quilled and crested. 
While the Japanese Mountain Chrysanthemum is a hardy 
perennial, it comes into bloom the first year from sowing. 
Naturally, it will grow to quite a good sized bu.sh if left 
by itself, and if pinched two or three times a fine shaped 
plant can be obtained. By proper pinching and staking you 
can grow them to the most showy and artistic style of 
hanging or spray pot plants. The flowers keep in good 
growing condition a month or more after cutting, and 
unlike most varieties of Chrysanthemums, the foliage keeps 
fresh and green. The blooming plants sell themselves 
wherever shown.
