CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Annual Chrysanthemums are important florists' plants, being useful in 
many ways in the flower shop and, at the same time, they are in¬ 
exacting in their cultural needs. A number of annual species or plants 
which are treated as annuals are mentioned in the literature, but two 
kinds, C. Carinafum, and C. Segetum, cover most of the material now 
in general commerce. These are all easily grown, coming into flower 
quickly, and the modern kinds are mostly pleasing colors, making 
good cutting material outdoors in summer or under glass in winter. 
Perhaps the most popular species at present is C. Segetum, espe¬ 
cially the Star varieties, such as Evening Star (golden yellow). Eastern 
Star (light yellow with a dark disc and yellow ring), and Morning Star 
(immense flowers of an attractive primrose).

All of the above hove dark centers excepting White Star. , 
Zebra. The first definite two-colored variety in the Chrysanthemum 
Segetum class. The tips of the petals of these medium-sized blooms, 
2 inches across, are mahogany red, encircling brilliant yellow. A gay 
combination of colors, peculiarly attractive. The color contrast is con¬ 
siderably increased by means of a dark disc. Chrysanthemum Sege¬ 
tum "Zebra" is particularly suitable for borders and edgings on 
account of its dwarf and spreading growth and it is valuable as a 
lasting flower for cutting purposes. Tr. Pkt.50c

well-branched plants 3 to 4 feet in height. The flowers are produced 
so freely that one plant will carry as many as 50 to 60 blooms.

YOLTR FLOWER SEEDS 
The seeds you plant must be true to name, and from the climates 
best adapted for producing the different varieties. We secure our 
seeds from specialist growers throughout the world. Even in these 
trying times the A. B. C. leaves no stone unturned to provide you 
with the many special strains from foreign lands. 
CINERARIAS 
CREMER S PRIZE 
Produces somewhat smaller blooms than does "Eriksson's" with plants 
of good height and is of such high sale value that growers, in our 
opinion, will not go amiss in planting liberally of both. The originator 
is constantly improving the strain. 
Tr. Pkt. (1000 seeds).$1.50 1/32 oz.$4.00 
MULTIFLORA MAXIMA (Eriksson’s Private Stock) 
We proudly say this is an A. B. C. introduction, because in the last few 
years it has gained the confidence of some of the largest pot plant 
growers as one of the leading commercial types. Its range of colors is 
"tops," well including every desirable shade in pinks, reds, blues, 
delicate pastel tints to solid bright shades and beautiful-eyed types. 
Mr. Eriksson has for the past ten years personally selected the finest 
plants for good branching habit, small leaves and medium dwarf 
height. The size of flower is also a good medium size. In our opinion 
it is one of the very finest cinerarias on the market today. 
Tr. Pkt. (500 Seeds).$1.00 
SIXER’S RAINBOW STRAIN 
Although it carries immense flower heads, its compact growth and 
small round leaves require little room. Medium large flowers, ranging 
from the bright-eyed types to the finer pastel shades. Delivery from
