Pompon Chrysanthemums 
See illustration opposite page 65. 
These are the very best of all Chrysanthemums for planting out 
of doors, and also very desirable for growing as pot plants, being 
dwarf, compact growers, and free bloomers. They are perfectly 
hardy, blooming before severe frosts will hurt the flowers. Each, 
10 cents.

Who does not admire the “ Queen of Autumn,” the hand¬ 
somest of all autumnal flowers, and easily cultivated in 
almost any soil? In warm seasons it flowers well in October 
and November in the open ground. But a good way is to 
cultivate the plants in the garden, with plenty of room, in 
good, rich soil, until the first of September, when they may 
be safely transferred to pots. Give a thorough watering 
and set in a shady place for a few days, after which they 
may be exposed to the full light.

GLOXINIA 
Gloxinias are among the handsomest of our summer-blooming greenhouse 
plants. The flowers are gorgeous, and the foliage has a velvety appearance. 
Bulbs should be started in spring in a warm place. They require partial shade 
and a liberal supply of water when growing. After blooming, water should be 
withheld and the bulbs remain dry through the winter.
