that immediately captivates the eye. A 
large flower, 3 inches across, shaggy, and 
distinct in form. An extremely hardy

frosts.

there is no double hardy Chrysanthemum 
that will compare with this. Commencing 
in late September, the plant is literally 
covered with bloom until November.

double, and of a charming shade of soft 
yellow, just the faintest suggestion of 
bronze. 
GOOD FOR THE NORTH 
AS WELL AS THE SOUTH 
Throughout the Northwest we need the very hardiest Chrysanthemums that 
will blossom before hard freezing weather comes. The varieties we offer flower, 
with us, from the latter part of August to the middle of October. 
Often our plants are just giving us their best blossoms when an early freeze 
comes. Just before we expect such a freeze, we pot many of these plants and 
bring them inside and enjoy their beauty for two or more weeks. This blooming 
plant that costs you around 25c is now worth two or three dollars if purchased 
from a greenhouse. These same plants may be kept in a cool place all winter and 
reset in the garden in the spring. 
If plants are left in the garden during the winter months, they should be well 
covered with coarse litter. 
Our list is a choice from many kinds we test out each year. They are the 
earliest and best for our northern customers. The further south one lives, the 
longer and surer the results. 
Many new varieties of hardy ’Mums seem to be offered each year to the 
buying public. We purchase many of these and try them out but find only a 
few that are really good. These we add to our list from year to year. 
Prices: 25c each, unless otherwise priced; 3 of 1 kind for 70c; 
10 of a kind for $2.00, Postpaid.
