HARDY PERENNIALS 
“Hardy Mums” 
This is a new day for garden mum lovers, the 
easiest of all perennials to grow. The recent in- 
troductions bloom through August, September 
and early October before frost. Better range of 
colors, blooming qualities, winter hardiness, dis- 
ease resistance and better foliage account for 
their increasing popularity. We are offering only 
the best of the older varieties and, as far as we 
can learn, the cream of the late introductions. 
Every. plant we send out is guaranteed true to 
name and free of insects and disease. 


AVALANC 
Strong plants from pots for easy, successful 
transplanting, ready for delivery May 1 through 
June. 
On orders for $3.00 or more postage prepaid. 
Large Early Flowering 
Each year we have more requests for the large 
greenhouse type chrysanthemums. These are not 
as hardy as the garden type mums but can be 
carried overwinter very successfully in a cold 
frame under glass. To produce those big 5-6 inch 
blooms they require disbudding, leaving one to 
three flowers to each plant. 
We offer only the best early vores :
