Accelerated by the ever increasing tempo of 
a technological age, civilized living today easily 
may become a repetitious, wearisome task. At 
times there is apt to arise within one a swelling 
spirit of rebellion against all things mechanical. 
Why not ward against complete encroachment 
of this distressing unpleasantness by setting 
aside a wee bit of your time for the purpose of 
cultivating the acquaintance of Nature’s won- 
derous children of the Flowery Kingdom. 
The Chrysanthemum offers to you everything 
from the cuddly warmth of the tiny baby but- 
ton to play on the imagination in the lacy, deli- 
cate spidery type; romance in the shaggy aban- 
don of innumerable varieties, both large and 
small; austerity in the stiff formality of the 
larger and more pretentious commercial and 
exhibition types. 
Listed within these covers are plants suitable 
for every conceivable purpose. There are those 
which will produce flowers excellent for low, 
table arrangements, flowers for tall bouquets and 
flowers for exhibition purposes. There are plants 
for general garden use, plants for cascading, 
plants for potting and plants for specimen 
work, etc. 
We carry a number of varieties not cata- 
logued. If you are interested an inquiry regard- 
ing our ability to supply some favored item 
will be answered with promptness.
