The inclusion of this excellent perennial in 
your garden makes it possible to have color 
in your border after the majority of hardy 
herbaceous flowers are past. They are valu- 
able for cut-flowers and all] resist frost well. 
‘To grow Chrysanthemums at their best, 
have your soil dug deeply and enriched with 
well-rotted manure before planting. If your 
soilis heavy, add sand and humus. For best 
results, set them out after danger of frost Is 
past in the Spring. Divide frequently to 
insure vigorous, healthy plants. 
THE 1941 CHRYSANTHEMUM 
MRS. PIERRE S. DU PONT III. This 
flawless flower was the sensation of Mrs. 
du Pont’s beautiful garden last fall and 
we predict that it will be the pride of 
thousands of gardens this October. The 
216-foot bushy plants are shapely, with 
attractive foliage, and are really orna- 
mental without bloom, but when they 
bloom in early October, words fail us. 
Every branch carries a splendid spray of 
gloriovs 344- to 4-inch double flowers of 
rosy salmon blended with soft bronzy 
fawn and fjivened with iridescent tints of 
gold. Every bloom is fragrant, with real 
Chrysanthemum scent. Watch this great 
Chrysanthemum at the flower shows next 
October. 75 cts. each, $2.00 for 3, $6.25 
for 10.

CLARA CURTIS. New. A valuable new 
Rubellum hybrid which begins to bloom 
in September and continues to bear 
hundreds of lovely single rose-pink flowers 
for more than a month. This ts a real ac- 
quisition that gives an unusual and striking 
effect in the garden and provides an 
abundance of cut-flowers for indoor decora- 
tron. It has proved entirely hardy even 
where Winters are quite cold. Its early- 
blooming habit ts a characteristic that will 
appeal to a particularly large number of 
gardeners.

it is actually graceful in its habit of flower- 
ing rather than formal, as are the Pompon 
kinds. Perfectly formed blossoms, 2 inches 
across, in a splendid warm bronze shading 
to sparkling gold in the open flowers. 
Z ft. October 15.

tember. Shading from warm bronze in the 
bud stage to clear primrose-yellow when 
fully open, it presents a striking color 
combination. Not over 1 foot im height.
