Garden Chrysanthemums 
For a Gay and Glorious Display This Spring 
Chrysanthemums provide an abundance of color for the Autumn garden. There are Chrysan.- 
themums of many types adaptable for various uses. The Cushion or Azaleamum-like types furnish 
low mounds of color for borders and rock gardens. The upright growing types trom pompons 
through single daisy-like flowers to the large decorative fill our perennial garden with an un- 
forgotten beauty in addition to their lovely cut flowers. 
We offer strong young potted plants that will make heavy blooming plants for fall. Young 
plants produce the most blooms. We have devoted much time and effort to the selection and produc- 
tion of newer, better, and hardier varieties as they appear. You may rest assured that the new ones 
that are constantly entering our list are improvements over older varieties that have been discon- 
tinued. And further we are offering only those that can be depended upon to be in full bloom before 
October 15th, so as to escape severe frosts and freezing weather. Plant in a well-drained rich soil. 
Pinch back’ when the plants are a foot high to make bushy plants for the most bloom. Cushion 
Chrysanthemums do not need pinching back. About December 15, break down the dead tops and 
cover the plants a few inches deep with straw, leaves, or loose litter for the winter. 
———CUSHION CHRYSANTHEMUMS—— 
These popular Chrysanthemums develop into mounds of blooms, often two feet across, but only 
one foot high. During September these mounds are covered with hundreds of blooms that resemble 
an Azalea—otften wrongly called Azaleamum—and belong to the Amelia group. May be used as 
single specimens or in groups in the border, rock garden, along paths and driveways. 
All are double flowered, unless otherwise stated.
