Hardy Garden Chrysanthemums 
Selected for our New England climate 
Chrysanthemums are among the most dependable 
flowers in the Autumn garden, providing glorious color 
and a spicy fragrance from early September until heavy 
frosts end the display. In this catalog we are listing 
close to fifty varieties which we consider the best of 
each type and color of those tested in our fields. Chrysan- 
themums will give you more cut flowers and garden 
pleasure per dollar spent than any other Perennial. It’s 
almost unbelievable that these inexpensive potted 
plants set in your garden in May or early June will 
give you such a grand show next September and Oc- 
tober. Best of all, they are so easy to grow—all they 
need is a sunny spot and good garden soil.
