Chrysanthemums rescue gardens from their late summer slump. 
Mid-Seasonu Groupe 
Varieties in this group are really the mainstay of a chrysanthemum 
planting. The seven we have chosen are outstanding in every way. 
PRICE: Each 40c; 3 of any one variety $1.00; 12 of any one variety 
$3.30.

flowers 3 to 4 in. Blooms in mid-September. 34 in.

gold. Pompon flowers are borne on upright stems 2 ft. tall. 
LAVENDER LASSIE. The new pompon companion to Lavender Lady 
with cushion-like growth. Color a soft silvery lavender, a little deeper 
than Lavender Lady. 24 in.

Still the best early white. 20 in.

HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
The new hardy chrysanthemums have been bred for earliness, hardi- 
ness and new form and color so bear little resemblance to the varieties we 
knew a few years ago. ‘ 
Many gardeners with limited space are planting their “mums” in rows 
in vegetable areas or cold frames and moving the clumps into their gar- 
dens when they begin to flower. They are especially effective against a 
foundation planting of shrubs and evergreens. As cut flowers they are 
unsurpassed. 
Divide the plants every spring for best results. 
SHIPPED ONLY IN THE SPRING 
Chrysanthemums are usually shipped early in May unless we are requested to 
do otherwise. They cannot be sent in the fall, however. Since they are shipped 
separately they may not arrive with other perennials which you have ordered. 
Very Early Flowering Group 
These are the finest colors to be had in early flowering chrysanthemums. 
Not only are they early, many coming into bloom in August, but they 
are also very sturdy and come through all sorts of weather unharmed. 
PRICE: Each 45c; 3 of any one variety $1.15; 12 of any one variety 
$3.90. 
ALGONQUIN. Showy large clear yellow double flowers 2% in. across. 
Spreading growth. Blooms in early September. 2 ft. 
CHIPPEWA. A new variety with large beautifully formed rich purple 
flowers with overtones of wine red; really stunning. 2 ft. 
DAHLIA MUM. Large rich wine purple flowers. Good growth. 20 in. 
EARLY BRONZE. One of the earliest ““mums.” The warm bronzy- 
orange pompon blooms brighten the garden in early September. 16 in. 
EARLY BRONZE, Light. A golden orange form of Early Bronze that 
is equally early and showy, acting as a foil for the darker shade. 16 in. 
EUGENE WANDER. Recently introduced its very large bright golden 
yellow double flowers are entrancing. Plants are very sturdy and up- 
right growing. 18 in. 
HARMONY. Lovely combination of rosy gold and bronze. 18 in. 
OTSEGO. Medium size semi-double; rosy pink with a soft yellow center. 
20 in. 
RED GOLD. A new pompon that is one of the brightest yet developed. 
A combination of red and honey gold. 22 in. 
SEPTEMBER BRONZE. A large rich golden bronze, small decorative 
or large pompon type that is the result of years of work by its intro- 
ducer, Mr. Alex Cumming. 24 in. 
SEPTEMBER GOLD. This brilliant golden yellow pompon is very 
showy, not only because of its color, but the abundance of bloom 
produced all through September and October. 22 in. 
Octoher Flowering Group 
These begin flowering in early October and even during unseasonal 
frosts and snowstorms our plantings remain beautiful until November, 
giving color to a garden when all other flowers are gone. We can recom- 
mend them not only for hardiness of plants but for hardiness of the 
flowers themselves. 
PRICE: Each 35c; 3 of any one variety 90c; 12 of any one variety 
$3.00. 
AUTUMN LIGHTS. Described both as ‘“‘coppery bronze’ and “‘red- 
dish orange”; an indication of the rich glowing color of this large 
semi-double mum. 22 in. 
KING MIDAS. Large double blooms 4 in. across on plants 2 to 3 ft. tall. 
Soft yellow occasionally shading to bronze. 26 in. 
LAVENDER LADY. Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful mum ever 
developed. Flowers a soft silvery lavender, of the large decorative type. 
30 in. 
MRS. PIERRE S. DU PONT III. Large, double flowers described as 
peach tinted rosy salmon with mauve undertones. Really indescribable 
and must be seen to be fully appreciated. 30 in. 
ORCHID SPOON. Earlier than most of the Spoon varieties, the blooms 
have more petals and are more perfectly formed. A soft pinkish-lavender 
with a silvery sheen. 26 in. 
THE MOOR. Brilliant amaranth purple or port wine red; beautifully 
formed flowers 3 inches across. 2 ft.
