CHRYSANTHEMUM SEPTEMBER DAWN 
Last fall was an ideal Chrysanthemum year and many people who realized their 
true worth for the first time are this year planning ona much wider use. To those who 
do not have room in their borders due to spring and summer successions, these plants 
may be placed in the kitchen garden and when the buds are set, picked up with a 
clump of soil and moved to the display garden. 
The Lavender Lady type of Chrysanthemum has become one of the prime fav- 
orites of Chrysanthemum enthusiasts. The individual flowers are large, beautifully 
formed and keep very well either in the garden or when cut. 
An important addition to this group is September Dawn which brings the gor- 
geous deep pink color of an autumn dawn. 
The plant is sturdy, hardy and a most pleasing color. It grows about 2!/, feet 
tall and starts blooming the end of September. 
VERONICA SPICATA CRATER LAKE BLUE 
The Veronicas are a versatile family, some shining in rock gardens, others as edge 
plants and still others as medium tall plants for the border. 
Veronica Crater Blue Lake belongs in the latter category, with its slender spikes 
of the lovely clear blue color of the far-famed Crater Lake. The foliage is a dark rich 
green and the plant reaches an over-all height of about 20 inches. The delicate spikes 
carry a feeling of airiness and grace whether in the garden or used as a cut flower. 
Planted either in full sunlight or partial shade, this lovely Veronica is well worth a 
spot in the border. 
Many varieties of your favorite roses are not going to be available this 
year. Many of the men who helped produce these plants in past years are 
now serving our country in far parts of the world. 
Our production of foods is taking a great part of the time of those left 
behind... We are gladly joining. in all of the war efforts and are asking our 
many triends to be patient with us, and if they cannot get some favorite vari- 
ety this spring to try again next fall when we hope to be able to offer a bal- 
anced list of the country's favorite roses.
