GARDEN CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
New Northern Bloomers DeLuxe. 
One of the finest additions to our flower gardens in many years. 
“One of the most useful plants for the flower garden or 
perennial border in late summer and early autumn is the 
garden chrysanthemum. They have been much used in gar- 
dens farther east and south for many years, but it is only 
recently that any really good varieties have been available 
that will bloom well in this area,’ says Professor L. E. Longley 
in a recent publication from the University of Minnesota. 
While Chrysanthemums have been a valuable garden flower 
in the east and south for several years those varieties were not 
suitable to our part of the country. Some eastern workers had 
developed earlier strains—but even these were largely unsatis- 
Only recently, after years of careful breeding. 
and selection, have Professor Longley and his co-workers at 
our University Farm originated varieties especially adapted to 
our conditions. 
We offer here ten of what are generally considered the finest of these Minnesota wonder 
creations. | 
They are wonderful. They will bring new garden joys to every plant lover who tries them. 
Plant them freely—but order early to avoid disappointments.
