NEW CITY, Rockland County, NEW YORK 
Last Fall the Chrysanthemum season was very disappointing respecting 
the amount of blooms we all hoped to have. The hot nights in August fol¬ 
lowed by early frosts certainly raised havoc with stock wanted for Fall Shows. 
It w'as an unusual occurence and should not discourage the real gardener who 
knows of the gamble one takes in growing nature’s subjects. Without some 
blooms in your garden this Fall it will be void of that timely color only the 
garden Mums can give to a home at that season. Look thru this list and 
select a few varieties that appeal to you, and then plan to plant them where 
you will enjoy growing them and using the blooms for many different 
purposes.
