A Sensation of Color and Beauty 
TWO THOUSAND BLOOMS TO ONE BUSH 
A regular cushion of flowers, an early 
and a most profuse bloomer, and hardy 
everyw'here! These beautiful Hardy 
Chrysanthemums are a true sensation 
among the newer and better perenni¬ 
als. 
You may plant Salzer’s Hardy Cushion 
Chrysanthemums anywhere in the gar¬ 
den with most pleasing effect, on each 
side of a step.s, along the foniidatlon 
of the house, in the lawn, in solid beds, 
or as a border along the boundary line, 
or to line driveways or walks! They 
grow rapidly, forming large, round, 
compact bushes completely covered 
with simply hundreds of full, double, 
perfect Chrysanthemum blooms from 
about the middle of August until frost. 
Loads and Loads of Gorgeous Flowers 
The plants grow about 18 inches high 
and spread out 2 to 2% feet, forming a 
lovely and striking, dense and compact 
mound. Plant them about 2% feet 
apart. They are litei'ally covered with 
flowers which last over a long period. 
We have counted 2,500 buds and flowers on one two year old plant! Think of 
it,—up to 2,500 blooms on one single plant at this year’s low price is a real 
bargain! Each plant, the first year produces such loads of gorgeous flowers 
that passersby will look at it in wonder! We offer well-hardened plants from 
2 y 2 in. pots, which sold for as high as ?1.00 each a short time ago.
