Brands Hardy Outdoor 
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 some of 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: 35c each, unless otherwise priced; 3 of any 35c varieties, $1.00; 12 for $2.75. This gives 

you an opportunity to make up your own collection at a real saving.

the finest varieties we have ever grown in Minnesota. Season mid-

fusion. Each, 50c

THALIA. This is one of the best of the Korean varieties in a lively 
shade of orange. After several years of trial, we consider this an ex- 
cellent one.

outdoor work in a climate like this, there is none better than Tasiva.

the mellow October sunshine. A medium sized bloom, nicely double,

derfully on our grounds last year. Comes into bloom in early October. 
This is such a rich blended color and so iridescent that it is hard 
to describe, but we should say it is a peach-pink, blending into a 
rosy salmon. A magnificent new flower that lasts long as a cut flower.

middle September and continues throughout the autumn. 2 ft.
