CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
The Glory of Your Autumn Garden 
THE MINNESOTA GROUP 
Here are offered nineteen new varieties of garden Chrysanthemums developed by Prof. L. E. Longley at the University 
of Minnesota. They are admirably adapted to locations subject to early frosts because of their extra early flowering habit, 
long blooming period, unusual colors and high degree of hardiness. All are suitable for cutting and have long lasting qualities.

on the same plant varies from yellow to Brazil-red. During 
the early season it is yellowish, later strawberry-pink and 
with the cool weather it becomes Brazil-red. At times all
