Price: 50c each, $5.00 per dozen, $35.00 per 100 
There are so many fine Singles on the market nowa¬ 
days, that to get something superior to existing sorts is 
almost impossible. However, we consider the following 
varieties worthy of a place in every garden, and for this 
reason, we are listing them this season. 
G. HERMAN KINNICUTT (John Thompson) 
When we say that this variety is an improvement on “Cleo¬ 
patra” in form, color, and constitution, it is rather a tall state¬ 
ment but actually true. Since it is a dwarf grower it does 
beautifully on side benches where taller growing varieties can¬ 
not be placed. A beautiful shade of bronzy amber yellow and 
will be a delightful result for all who grow it. 
RUTH 
A welcome addition to the list of white Single Chrysanthe¬ 
mums introduced for the past ten years. A very large full 
flower of good size with several rows of petals which would 
make it ideal for pot plant work or shipping. 
SCARLET BEAUTY 
A glistening brilliant scarlet Single. One of the most glowing 
Chrysanthemums we have ever seen in color. As the flower ages 
it fades slightly, maturing a rich orange-red. 
Scarlet Beauty 
ASTRID 
The absolutely Hardy Chrysanthemum, named for the 
Viking goddess of love; is absolutely a winter-proof Chrys¬ 
anthemum. Color, soft pink, apricot, shaded, with yellow 
centers. Parentage—an accidental cross with C. articum 
from Alaska. Hardiness—may be grown in any Perennial 
garden without covering or winter protection. Habit— 
handsome, leathery leaves, dark green and very glossy, 
beautifully symmetrical all summer; throws up long¬ 
stemmed sprays of blossoms about October 1. 
Price: 3 plants 75c, $3.00 per doz., $20.00 per 100 
Clara Curtis 
Chrysanthemum Eruhescens Clara Curtis 
The single salmon-pink Daisy-like flowers are about 3 
inches in diameter and are their best in August and early 
September. They ai'e well arranged. The plant is perfectly 
hardy and blooms so early that the flowers are never dam¬ 
aged by frost. The habit of this variety is spreading. The 
one-year old plants grow about 18 to 24 inches across, and 
when in bloom hundreds of flowers completely cover the 
foliage. The stems are 18 to 24 inches tall. It is perfectly 
hardy and is not particular as to soil or location. 
Price: 50c each, $5.00 per dozen
