Chrysanthemums 
For Gorgeous Autumn Color 
McConnell’s are headquarters for fine chrysanthe- 
mums and we grow perhaps the largest and most 
comprehensive list of hardy, ‘mums to be found in 
Canada. We ship the latter part of May strong, heav- 
ily rooted plants out of 214 inch pots, and such as 
will give masses of flowers even the first season, and 
much superior to field dug plants or divisions. The 
plants are properly packed to reach you in first-class 
condition. 
Without a doubt the Hardy Garden Chrysanthemum is 
the finest and most popular of all autumn blooming 
perennials. Is it any wonder, when you consider the 
tremendous quantities of bloom produced, the wonder- 
ful color effects in the garden and their ideal qualities 
for cutting. The great masses of bloom give color, life 
and beauty to the flower borders and garden just at a 
time when other plants are through blooming or perhaps 
have been destroyed by early frosts. 
The early fall frosts do not affect the flowering Chry- 
santhemums and armfuls of bloom can be cut during 
late September and through October and often well into 
November. They are reasonably hardy if planted in a 
well-drained location and covered with clean straw, ever- 
green boughs or leaves during the winter and early spring. 
Due to the development of new varieties the past few 
years, you can now get a wide range of colors and early 
blooming qualities; some of the varieties commencing 
to bloom early in September and sometimes in August. 
They grow to a height of 11% to 214 feet.
