CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Standard Varieties 
EARLY SORTS 
Throughout the catalog we have endeavored to 
give the height of the plants which is based on plants 
benched in June. If planted in May they will be a 
foot or more taller at flowering time and correspond¬ 
ingly shorter if benched at the end of July. Late 
propagated and planted stock is usually somewhat 
retarded as to flowering date. This section com¬ 
prises those varieties which flower before October 
25th. If buds are not formed at the dates given re¬ 
serve the first that appear thereafter.
