Hardy Pompon 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
C HRYSANTHEMUMS are the last plants to bloom in the fall 
and make the garden glow when there are no other flowers to 
be had. No other class of plants give such a wide range of 
color—white, yellow, bronze, scarlet, crimson, with innumerable inter- 
mediate softer tones. In masses they are particularly effective, while 
scattered clumps enliven the whole garden. Chrysanthemums in the 
garden mean flowers a month after your neighbor has none. 
The Four Newest Pompon Chrysanthemums 
Annie Fletcher. Gorgeous, clear yellow flowers borne on stately, 
erect stems produced in tremendous quantities and blooming the 
first of October. Unlike many Chrysanthemum varieties, the foli¬ 
age is good and the fine leaves cover the entire stem throughout 
the growing season. A truly splendid variety. 
Grenadier. Glowing clusters of crimson-red flowers i /2 inches in 
diameter. Each separate flower has a golden tint on the petal re¬ 
verse to make a marvelous contrast with the bright crimson of the 
main flower. This variety produces flowers in tremendous masses 
and in full bloom is glorious beyond description. 
Murillo. The newest and beyond question the finest pink Chrysan¬ 
themum. The flowers, about 3 inches in diameter, are colored the 
loveliest and richest possible old rose. 
September Charm. The outstanding white variety and a real im¬ 
provement over what has gone before. The individual flowers 
measure i /2 inches across and the color is the clearest, cleanest 
white. The plants grow compactly and when in full bloom resemble 
huge balls of snow. 
Any of the above varieties: 3 for $1.00; $3.00 per doz. 
A. Barham. Gorgeous and outstanding orange-bronze flowers 3 inches 
in diameter. Absolutely the best of its color, says Mr. Elliott. 
Aladdin. The newest of the Chrysanthemums, finer than anything 
which has preceded it. Beginning in July the flowers appear in an 
endless procession until frost. Its lovely color resembles that of the 
famous Talisman rose, being lovely golden bronze stained apricot, 
light red and damask-pink. 
Crimson Splendor. Magnificent masses of rich crimson-maroon flow¬ 
ers, intensified with deep garnet tones, golden yellow center. Each 
flower is 4 inches in diameter. 
Granny Scoville. Flowers A /2 inches in diameter colored a warm 
coral-bronze that fairly glows. Mr. Elliott maintains that this is 
the finest of all the Chrysanthemums. 
Indian. One of the older sorts which has held its place because of its 
superior qualities. The large, shaggy flowers are a lovely coppery 
red shade which has a universal appeal. So far nothing even as 
good in its color has been developed. 
Jean Treadway. Lively sparkling pink flowers over 3 inches in diameter 
with a darker rose-pink center. 
Lillian Doty. This large, perfect, bright pink Chrysanthemum is 
still the first choice of the professional florists. Though we have 
had it for 20 years or more, its superior has not yet been created. 
Peggy Ann Hoover. New and distinct. The color is a clear lilac- 
pink and the flower shape which resembles a Show Dahlia is en¬ 
tirely different in form from any other Chrysanthemum. 
Pink Cushion. Absolutely the finest pink Chrysanthemum. The color 
is beautiful; the flowers come continuously throughout the entire 
fall and the plant is completely covered. Nothing equals it. 
Ruth Cumming. Rich reddish bronze and terra cotta. Exquisite. 
Tassiva. The finest white Chrysanthemum. Flowers completely cover 
the entire plant. 
Varsity. Altogether the finest and most desirable of the yellow 
Chrysanthemums. 
Vivid. The color closely approaches that of the American Beauty 
Rose. A shade new to the Chrysanthemums. 
Any of the above varieties: 3 for 75c; $2.50 per doz.
