HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
For a profusion of gay colors in the autumn, hardy chrysanthemums take 
first place among the perennial plants. For weeks after the early frosts have 
killed most other things, the chrysanthemums continue their supply of splen¬ 
did cut flowers and masses of color in the border. Below we list new varieties 
as well as some of the older favorites.

Mrs. H. Harrison. Small lavender pink flowers borne in clusters on plants 
of medium height. 
Vaughan’s Lavender. The origin of this flower is unknown. We found it 
in the garden of our neighbor, John Vaughan, and its performance has 
been so vastly superior to that of other lavender varieties that we now 
offer it with our heartiest recommendation.

pink flowers.

DELPHINIUM 
Delphiniums are easily the best blue perennials for cutting or for garden 
decoration. Some gardeners report unusual success when old plaster has 
been placed in the trench immediately beneath the plants. We find sheep 
manure and bone meal the best fertilizers. The foliage and crown should 
be sprayed thoroughly with a good fungicide several times during the season. 
A winter mulch of sifted coal ashes will prevent crown rot and injury from grubs.
