Novelty Cushion ’ Mum 
New Dwarf Chrysanthemum 
Little Bob. We are sure you will like this new introduction, which 
is a charming, low-growing garden Chrysanthemum from 
England. Early in the fall the double button-like flowers of 
mahogany-bronze appear, and cover the plants with hundreds 
of blooms, borne on short, stiff, wirelike stems. The plants 
spread to about 2 feet in diameter, are of perfectly symmetrical 
shape, and when in full bloom are completely covered with 
flowers. 65c each; 3 for $1.75. 
Clara Curtis. Single, salmon-pink, daisy-like flowers, about 3 
inches in diameter, well arranged on short, much-branched 
stems about 1 to 114 feet high, at their best in August and 
early September, covering the plants by the hundreds, so that 
they look like small mounds of pink. This variety is perfectly 
hardy, and will do well in almost any soil or location. Since 
they flower early they are never subject to frost damage. They 
may be dug up in early winter and forced in pots, to bloom in 
February and March. 60c each; 3 for $1.50.

lightfully fragrant. Blooms in July and August, either sunny or 
shady locations. Received an Award of Merit from Royal Horti- 
cultural Society. 75c each; $7.50 per doz. 
MERTENSIA VIRGINICA (Blue Bells). Early spring-flowering 
plant, height 1 to 114 feet, with blue bells, fading to pink. Grows 
in ordinary soil, likes a shady or partially shady place. Makes a 
fine companion plant for Daffodils or yellow Tulips. Plant in fall.
