Hardy Chrysanthemums 
We make a point of growing Hardy Chrysan- 
themum plants of only those kinds that bloom 
sufficiently early to be satisfactory in our north- 
ern latitude. See page 80. 
CARNATIONS 
2290—New Giant Double Chabaud. Mixed 
Colors. The most satisfactory of the annual 
Carnations for the outdoor gardens. They are 
larger, more free flowering and with a larger 
percentage of double flowers than the other 
kinds. Their delicious fragrance and rich color- 
ing makes them even more desirable. Flowers 
in late summer, but if planted in a protected 
location they will usually survive the first 
winter and flower profusely the following 
summer. Pkt. 15c; Lg. Pkt. 30c; 14 Oz. 85c.
