HARDY CARNATION 
HARDY HARVARD (New)—We take pleasure in 
introducing this new strain of garden carnation, 
believing it to be the hardiest and most dependable 
of any outdoors carnation yet produced. Its history 
is glamorous. One English family has treasured it 
for many years; and it went to sea with an advent¬ 
urous scion, to establish a new home in America. 
That was 75 years ago. It has withstood much 
gardening grief, and many bitter winters; yet still 
upholds its traditional character, beauty and use¬ 
fulness. Similar to the American developed “Crim¬ 
son King”, but much hardier, with more velvet in 
its crimson color, more perfect double petalage, and 
a dignified demeanor unmatched among the more 
transient garden flowers. We have named it “Hardy 
Harvard”, in honor of its crimson color; its stability; 
and its distinctiveness. Each 30c; 3 for_ 75c 
Hardy Garden Chrysanthemums 
The following fine, rugged varieties assembled from 
Pompon, Anemone and various classes have proven 
hardy throughout the middle west, with some protec¬ 
tion, during winter. It is advisable to cut off the old 
tops to a few inches above the ground, then cover with 
old straw or leaves before winter sets in. The best 
blooms will result from annual transplanting, separat¬ 
ing the year-old clumps into small divisions. 
ALADDIN—This remarkable bronze variety com¬ 
mences to bloom even in small pots before it is 
safe to transplant outdoors; and after the roots have 
become established in their new home, the plant is 
never thereafter without a liberal show of bloom. 
In general from June continuously into November. 
Flowers are quite full and compact, 2 Vz to 3 inches 
wide, the close center either deeper or lighter toned;
