MUMS FROM GARTMAN’S FOR 
EARLY BLOOMS 
Hardy garden Chrysanthemums are a “com- 
ing’ flower. Each year brings improved varie- 
ties and greatly increased interest among 
garden-makers. In this catalog we list 125 
of the different varieties tested in our fields. 
Chrysanthemums will give you more cut flow- 
ers per dollar spent than any other perennial. 
It is almost unbelievable that these small in- 
expensive plants set in your garden in May or 
early June will give such a glorious show 
next August, September and October. Best of 
all, they are so easy to grow. All you need is 
a sunny spot and good garden soil. 
We pride ourselves in keeping only the better 
varieties and in adding the newer introductions 
only after giving them a trial in our gardens. 
In that way we can assure our customers of 
having only the best mums.
