Hardy Chrysanthemums 
Just at the time when other plants begin to fail, and 
there is a great dearth of bloom in the garden—we mean 
from early September to killing frosts—the Hardy 
Chrysanthemums provide us with a lavish display of 
color and beauty of form unequaled by any other flow¬ 
ers. For years we have devoted much time and effort 
to the selection and introductions of the best work of the 
hybridizers, and we know that the list below will give 
great satisfaction. They are of easy culture and for best 
results should be pinched back twice before August. 
Young plants produce the most bloom. 
Prices of Chrysanthemums, except where noted, 
75 cts. for 3, $2 for 10, $15 per 100
