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. They may be had in bloom from 
Aug. to Nov. 
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 
Chyrsanthemums are usvally shipped early in May unless we are requested to do otherwise. Since they are 
shipped separately they may not arrive with other perennials which you have ordered. 
Newest 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 60c, 3 of any one variety $1.65, 12 of any one variety $5.50. 
AMBER GLOW. Warm rosy peach-bronze MAGNOLIA. Pale yellow buds open to very 
tinted rosy salmon. Similar to the variety 
Mrs. Du Pont but the colors are deeper. Early

trast to the rich, dark green foliage. Early

“mums”; a deep glowing ruby. Large flowers, 
long stems, upright growth; heavy dark green 
foliage. Mid-Sept.; 28”. 
double blooms of soft pink shading to creamy 
pink with a cream overcast. Mid-Sept.; 24”.

an exuberant mass of luminous pink which 
shades to a soft pink at the yellow centers. 
Free flowering, medium height, mid-September. 
WHITE WONDER. A large white pompon 
“sport” of the pink Early Wonder. Vigorous 
growth, abundant bloom; gives character to 
any planting. Late Sept.; 30”. 
Very Early Flowering 
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. 
PRICE: Each 55c; 3 of any variety $1.50; 12 of any one variety $5.00.

formed, double flowers. Vigorous plant, at- 
tractive foliage. Blooms from early Sept. ’till
