Very Early Flowering Group 
In recent years hybridizers have been producing early flowering 
“mums” that are as beautiful as the later flowering ones. The following 
are outstanding representatives of this group. They bloom early, some 
starting in late August; the colors are warm and vivid and both plants 
and flowers are extremely hardy.

$4.50.

HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
The new hardy chrysanthemums have been bred for earliness, hardiness 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 gardens 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 can- 
not be sent in the fall, however. Since they are shipped separately they may not arrive with other peren- 
nials which you have ordered. 
New and Ynusual Varieties 
We grow the recent introductions with older time-tested ones under ordinary field 
conditions with no special attention. Selections are based on color, form of flower, 
plant and flower hardiness, earliness and eye appeal. The following were outstanding 
in our fields. 
PRICE: Each 55c; 3 of any one variety $1.50; 12 of any one variety $5.00.

October 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.
