COMMERCIAL CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Commercial Chrysanthemums are grown for the cut-flower market and Florist trade. The earliest of these, such as 
Early Frost, Gold Lode, Indianola, etc., will flower satisfactorily in the garden for amateur growers. When grown 
outdoors we cannot guarantee them to be entirely hardy, so we would suggest that after flowering, the roots be lifted 
and carried over in a cold frame or root cellar until the following spring. 
Price: 30c per plant, $3.00 per dozen, $20.00 per 100, except where noted. 
Alameda—Incurved bronzy-yellow of medium size. Maturing about 
October 25th. Fine strong stems. Good grower of medium height. 
We suggest late buds for best flowers. This particular variety is 
recommended for pot plant work on account of its very rigid form 
of growth and dwarf habit.

the sunshine. Vigorous habit of growth. A beautiful subject. Ma- 
tures October 15th.
