“Flowers are the brightest things 
ivhich earth 
On her broad bosom loves to 
cherish” 
The above lines by the poet Patter¬ 
son could well apply specifically to 
the amazing chrysanthemum family, 
with its wide range of varieties, sizes 
and colors—from the tiny button 
type to the giant exhibition type . . . 
We believe these full-color Koda- 
chrome photographs of actual 
blooms from the Blanchard Chrys¬ 
anthemum Gardens show the color¬ 
ful chrysanthemum family at its best.

Civilized living today calls for flowers to enhance the attractiveness and "appetite-appeaf^ 
of every table . . . And chrysanthemums—with their wide selection of color and variety— 
form an admirably flexible medium for practicing the fine art of flower and table arrange¬ 
ment . . . The illustrations on this page show how effectively chrysanthemums blend with 
fruit, silver service and California pottery.
