Fompoue Chrysanthemums. 
POMPONE CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
These are the small-flowered Chrysanthemums of the old-fashioned 
gardens, and bloom in October and November after almost all flowers 
are gone. They are showy in the garden and effective as cut-flowers, 
and, being perfectly hardy and of easiest culture, can be success¬ 
fully grown in any garden. We offer a fine collection of the best va¬ 
rieties, ranging from white to deep crimson. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per 
doz., $10 per 100. 
LARGE-FLOWERED CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
1 have collected from farm gardens some of the old-fashioned 
Chrysanthemums which are really hardy and which bloom in Octo- ! 
her and November, after all other outdoor flowers are gone. 1 have 1 
seen these Chrysanthemums in bloom when the snow was on the ! 
ground, and old established beds of them are wonderfully showy. 1 
They grow 3 to 4 feet high, and when in bloom are a perfect mass of 
flowers. I offer three large-flowered varieties—White, Pink and 
Yellow. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100. 
ARMERIA (Thrift) 
Attractive dwarf plants that will succeed in any soil, forming ever¬ 
green tufts of bright green foliage, from which innumerable flowers 
appear in dense heads, on stiff, wiry stems about 9 inches high. ! 
They flower more or less continuously from early spring until late | 
in the fall. Very effective in the rockery and indispensable in the 
border. 
Formosa. Pink. Maritima. Bright rosy pink flowers.
