CUSHION CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
A group of low growing "Mums, forming mounds of blooms reminding 
one of the old-fashioned Azalea. The plants grow about ten to twelve 
inches high and spread two feet or more. They start to bloom quite early, 
and are in full bloom in September, being literally covered with hundreds 
of flowers which last over a long period. With a little straw protection the 
plants are quite hardy. They all originated from Chrysanthemum Amelia, 
better known as Pink Cushion "Mum.

LITTLE BOB. We are sure you will like this new introduc- 
tion, which is a charming, low growing garden Chrysanthe- 
mum from England. Early in the fall the double, button-like 
flowets cf 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 ............. Each) 60c.. 1.45 9500 
CLARA CURTIS. New Dwarf Chrysanthemum. Single, sal- 
mon-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, cov- 
ering the plants by the hundreds, so that they look like 
small mounds of pink. The 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. No other plants will give you as 
many flowers for so little trouble ............ Rachmooicenmle4 0 4.50

DOUBLE SHASTA DAISY, ESTHER REED 
An Introduction You (Nill Enjoy 
An Ideal Plant—Grand for Cutting 
Always in Flower 
Indeed, Esther Reed possesses more good points than any 
herbaceous plant in existence. Its pure white flowers are full 
double, very large, long lasting and of enormous substance. 
When the flower is just out, its center is compact and slightly 
green, but gradually the center broadens out and develops 
into pure white. 
When the first flowers appear in June their diameter is as 
much as 4 inches, while later in the season the flowers become 
a little smaller. It is impossible to give an idea of the quantity 
of flowers one plant can produce, for every time the flowers are 
cut, fresh flower stems shoot up again. 
The plants begin to bloom about the third week in June, 
and keep flowering until late in the season. Even in the 
beginning of November when Dahlias and other plants are cut 
down by frost, there are still some Esther Reeds in flower. 
Although these flowers are smaller and shorter than earlier in 
the season, they are still very useful. 
The best time for planting is early in the spring. If planted 
in April they will produce an abundance of flowers the same 
season. Planting in August or early September will also give 
good results. Generally speaking they are easy growing 
plants, impartial as to soil, although best results are obtained 
on land that is well cultivated. 
One can improve the size of the flowers and length of the 
stems considerably by disbudding some of the side shoots. 
It is, furthermore, advisable to lift and divide the plants every 
two years. The flowers that are bloomed out should always 
be cut. Double Shasta Daisy, Esther Reed, has been tried in 
many parts of the world, and has proved satisfactory every- 
where. We have produced it on 18- to 24-inch stems.
