Double Russian Violet 
Best Yellow Chrysanthemum 
BARBARA CUMMINGS. For the last three years we have main¬ 
tained a large test planting of Hardy Chrysanthemums in order to de¬ 
termine which varieties are best suited to our cold northern climate with 
early fall frosts. Each year, without exception, Barbara 
Cummings has been the most outstanding and satisfactory. 
The large flowers, 3 to 4 inches across, open clear yellow 
changing to orange-bronze. Commences to bloom in 
August and continues until killed by heavy frosts. The 
keeping qualities are unusually good. In habit the plant is 
very much like the so-called Cushion Chrysanthemum, 
semi-dwarf, much branched and completely covered with 
bloom. We unhesitatingly recommend this variety as we 
know you will be well pleased. Blooming size plants, 40c 
each; 3 for 90c; 12 for $3.00.

Hardy Outdoor Fuchsia 
For years the Fuchsia has been classed among the most popular 
of house plants. Its admirers have frequently expressed regret 
that it could not be grown out-of-doors in cold climates. We are 
now able to offer a variety that comes to us from the New York 
Botanical Gardens where it has proven entirely hardy. It is in 
bloom all summer long until stopped by frost. Pendulant flowers 
are rubv-red with purple inner petals and are produced by the 
hundreds, flowering just as freely in full sun as in light shade. A 
most interesting plant for the flower border or rock garden, where 
it fits in perfectly, blooming all summer. Like all Fuchsias, they are 
especially adapted for shady locations. We advise light protection 
north of Philadelphia. 
Strong pot plants, 50c each; 3 for $1.50; 12 for $4.50, postpaid.
