Chrysanthemum Seed 
For several years we have had many calls for Chrysanthemum seed which prompts 
us to offer strictly fresh seed from 1936 harvest. This mixture contains such types as 
mountain or cascade varieties, Korean hybrids, early singles, Japanese tubular petal- 
ed varieties; all types mixed.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS FOR 
EVERYONE 
Since 1907 we have devoted our entire time and energy to the development 
of all types of Chrysanthemums and especially those best adapted to commercial 
and exhibition use. 
Our best collection of standard varieties'is unsurpassed in America. As soon 
as the merits of the new sorts are established we discard the weakest of the old 
kinds and thus keep our offerings strictly up-to-date.
