ijl CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
HE Chrysanthemum is one of the world’s oldest cultivated flowers. Originating in China, ‘The Mother 
of Gardens,” as tiny pink and yellow daisies, less than an inch in diameter, they were taken into gardens 
and, through centuries of breeding and selection by painstaking plant-lovers, have been developed into 
the glorious exhibition and garden varieties we have today. There are several distinct types in cultivation 
today, the most important of which we offer. The so-called Oriental or Exhibition type, grown under glass in 
the North and in gardens in the South, requires care and good culture to produce the mammoth flowers so 

desired. 
The Hardy Garden Chrysanthemums, the Pompons, Buttons, and Singles are truly everybody’s flower, 
blooming in splendid sprays. They are easy to grow and furnish quantities of Jong-lasting cut-flowers, 
brightening the garden for many weeks.

THE GLORIOUS CHRYSANTHEMUM 
We love Chrysanthemums here at Vestal’s, 
and during the 80 years we have been in 
business, have tested about all the new things 
that have come along. We discarded most of 
them, but kept the best, so that today we 
can offer a fairly large list of really dependable 
varieties in the various types. No garden ever 
has enough Chrysanthemums to cut, so look 
through these pages and try some of the 
newer varieties. 
One of the interesting things about Chrys- 
anthemums is the great variety of types. 
Blooming as they do at the end of the 
season when most flowers have finished, these 
many classes easily take the place of other 
kinds of flowers.
