CUSHION CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Price: 50e per plant, $5.00 per dozen, $35.00 per 100 
IMPROVED RED CUSHION 
Large, full flowers of rich red, beginning to bloom in August 
and continuing throughout the season. The finest variety in the 
Cushion Type. 
MARJORIE MILLS (Bristol) 
A new cushion variety in varying tints and colors—deep crimson 
when first opening shaded burnished chestnut-crimson, later be- 
coming suffused with rose and bronze tints. These bushy plants 
seldom exceed 18 inches in height but are somewhat wider and 
covered with blossom from late Sevtember onwards. An excellent 
border and rock garden subject. For a fine border effect plant 20 
inches apart in the row. A beautiful variety when grown as a 
single specimen or in a group. 
CASCADE CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
These are the very small type of Chrysanthemum used for many 
years to grow specimen Standards. They can also be grown most 
successfully outdoors since they flower in late August and are 
very dainty as cut flowers for the home. However, they are entirely 
too small and fragile for long distance shipping, so would not be 
suitable where one wishes to ship flowers any great distance. As a 
spot of color in the garden to intermingle with the larger flowering 
types or to private estates where one wishes to grow specimen 
“Cascades” or individual Standards, they can be strongly recom- 
mended. 
Jane Marte—One of the daintiest Single Chrysanthemums ever 
distributed. The color is a beautiful deep yellow. October 30th. 
Improved Jane Harte—A yery much decided improvement 
on the original Jane Harte that we have known for many years. 
The flowers on the improved variety are much smaller but more 
compact and luxuriant in every way. Where one is looking for 
a very close growing variety for Cascade work in a lovely shade 
of yellow we very heartily recommend “Improved Jane Harte.” 
The Real Maeckay—A pink Cascade Chrysanthemum in an 
enchantress shade of pink, a really outstanding variety and one 
that attracts attention in the garden or greenhouse it is such 
a pleasing shade of pink. This decidedly handsome subject has 
been greatly needed in this type of Chrysanthemum. 
AZALEA CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
This Azalea type of Chrysanthemum has become very popular 
within the past few years, and we are now in a position to offer 
the same in the following colors: 
My Lady—Fully double, very large orange-yellow. Begins to 
bloom in August till frost. Height, 18-24 inches. 
BRONZE RED WHITE PINK 
These plants begin to flower early in August and continue to 
do so throughout the Fall months. They are low growing, and 
bushy in type, never attaining a height of over 15 inches but 
are yery showy in places where color is desired in the early 
Fall.

CULTURAL SUGGESTIONS 
CHR YSANTHEMUMS 
Plant in average, well-drained garden soil dug to a depth 
of 15 to 18 inches. Well decomposed cow manure is best 
fertilizer to use but a balanced chemical fertilizer, of which 
there are many on the market, can be used with successful 
results. Plant about May 15th to June 15th from 2% inch 
pots about 15 to 18 inches apart. Pinch out tips until mid- 
July. This prevents straggly growth. Keep well cultivated 
and feed occasionally. About every three weeks apply a 
handful of bone meal to a plant and water in well. Spray 
with Bordeaux mixture once a month to prevent foliage dis- 
ease, or Black Leaf 40 if bothered with Aphis or Cater- 
pillars. A slight protection of cheese cloth or even news- 
paper thrown over the plants the first frosty nights in fall 
will prevent frost settling in the open flower and buds and 
prolong the flowering season. Chrysanthemums are not killed 
by cold but frost settling on the flowers and buds, with 
bright sunshine the following day, melts the petals causing 
them to appear rotted and unsightly. A little effort on the 
part of the grower covering the plants once or twice in the

early fall will be well repaid by weeks of perfect flowers.
