yi CARYSANTHEMUMS 
“The Mother of Gardens,” as tiny pink and yellow daisies, Jess than an inch in diameter, it 
r ‘HE Chrysanthemum is one of the world’s oldest cultivated flowers. Originating in China, 
was taken into their gardens by both the Chinese and Japanese, and, through centuries of 
breeding and selection by those painstaking plant-lovers, has been developed into the glorious ex- 
hibition and garden varieties we have today. 
There are several distinct types in cultivation today, the most important of which we offer. 
The so-called Japanese or Exhibition type, grown under glass in the North and in gardens in the 
Cc 
South, requires care and good culture to produce the mammoth flowers so desired. 
The Hardy Garden Chrysanthemums, the Pompons, Buttons, and Singles are truly everybody’s 
flower, blooming in splendid sprays. They are easy to grow and furnish quantities of Jong-lasting 
cut-flowers, brightening the garden for many weeks. ;
