Smith's Revised Chrysanthemum Manual 
Seventh Edition 
By Elmer Smith 
Who Has Made a Specialty of Chrysanthemum Culture for the Past Thirty-five Years 
This booklet treats the subjects in a concise yet lucid manner, covering the whole 
work from the care of the stock to the staging of blooms. 
Several new features have been added, including complete description and reme¬ 
dies for two new diseases, either of which, or the chapter on Chrysanthemum Midge, 
or the control of leaf tyer, are worth more to the reader than the price charged. Ten 
new illustrations have also been added. 
The best work on American Chrysanthemum Culture. Both amateur and florist have 
been provided with articles for their special needs.

Chrysaline 
Unequaled for Producing Lusty Chrysanthemums 
A complete Chemical Fertilizer, perfectly soluble and contains the same constituents 
as those incorporated in manure, supplying proper quantities of nitrogen, potash and 
phosphoric acid, which are the most important elements conducive to plant life. 
The advantages of Chrysaline over the other manures are: It is clean, has no offen¬ 
sive odor, is soluble and thus easily prepared, is immediate and permanent in its ef¬ 
fects, so highly concentrated that it is the cheapest, saves time and labor, and gives 
accurate results. 
Samples of 13V2 ounces, prepaid by mail, $0.50. 
Larger quantities will be furnished as follows: 
Five Pounds, $2.50; Ten pounds, $4.50; Twenty-five pounds, $10.00; Fifty pounds, $17.50. 
F. O, B. Adrian 
One ounce is sufficient for ten gallons. Full directions accompany each package. 
Chrysanthemums like a slightly acid soil; Chrysaline has an acid reaction.
