Henderson’s “AUTUMN GLORY” Collection 
OF EARLY FLOWERING CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
(Shown in color on opposite page.) 
Chrysanthemums, because of their profusion of bloom, easy culture, freedom from insects and disease are the most popular of all 
autumn flowers. As many of our customers delight in growing a few varieties we have grouped together eight of the best early 
flowering sorts for garden culture. The plants should be allowed to grow naturally without disbudding. Under these conditions 
they should do well in most parts of the country. 
TONKIN 
This variety ranks as one of the best outdoor Chrysanthemums. The 
growth is strong and branching, making many flowering shoots. The color 
is reddish orange. An excellent sort for cutting in sprays. Price, 20c. each, 
$2.00 per doz. 
LESLIE 
A compact grower with fine foliage and stiff stems. Color rich buttercup 
yellow. It flowers very freely, producing seven to eight medium-sized flowers 
to the spray. Does well in pots. Price, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 
L. H. COCIIET 
A grand early pink, large flat flowers. The petals are broad at the base 
and gracefully quilled at the tips. One of the most satisfactory varieties 
for the garden. Price, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 
HARRY 
One of the showiest varieties we offer. Color bronzy-orange, red on 
gold ground. Makes a nice pot plant when grown with two or three stems 
to the plant. Price, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 
TAPIS DE NEIGE 
This is one of the newer varieties, but it has shown itself to be one of the 
finest early whites. The flowers are flat and are produced in large sprays. 
The stems arc long, holding the flowers firmly erect. Price, 20c. each, $2.00 
per doz. 
GLORY OF SEVEN OAKS 
Flowers very early; color bright golden yellow. Because of its color and 
the number of flowers it produces it is very popular both as a pot plant and 
for garden culture. Price, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 
SMITH’S ADVANCE 
The color is pure white, showing a creamy white center. Makes 
beautiful sprays and if disbudded and a number of shoots left on the plants 
the flowers are large and develop perfectly. Price, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz.

for outdoor blooming. The flowers are large with broad petals. Color light
