Chrysanthemums offer unlimited possibilities for autumn color in the garden. 
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. To avoid confusion and duplication, we have selected the finest representatives 
in the various classes and colors. 
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’re unsurpassed. 
SHIPPED ONLY IN THE SPRING 
Chrysanthemums are usually 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.
