Hardy Chrysanthemums 
Because of the increasing popularity of this beautiful flower, 
we are now stocking a greater selection than ever before. In 
making our selection, great care has been taken to list only the best 
varieties—those that have been proven by specialists and research 
men, as well as the home gardener. Chrysanthemums grow best 
in a slightly acid, well-drained soil. On the average garden soil, a 
good complete fertilizer should be applied once each month during 
June, July and August at the rate of 3 to 4 pounds per 100 square 
feet. The plants we offer are young, potted plants which will 
bloom this fall—at a time when many of the other plants in your 
garden have passed their blooming season. Dates after each vari- 
ety are approximate blooming dates for this latitude.
