Gurney’s Chrysanthemums are 
better than ordinary ones in these 
two ways: 
!. They are grown individually in 
pots. They are not field-grown plants 
dug last fall and stored through the 
winter; often such plants do not come 
through winter storage in good shape. 
Our pot-grown ones are fresh and 
vigorous. 
B2289—Bloom very 
early in spring. Do well 
on the north side of the 
house. Like moist semi- 
shaded place, but with 
us they grow well in 
the open field in full sun. 
In summer die down to 
ground and disappear. 
Don't dig them up think- 
ing they have died. 2

2. Gurney’s Chrysanthemums are 
grown, and shipped, in a special pre- 
fertilized moss. Those grown and 
shipped in dirt usually dry out in ship- 
ment, and the dirt crumbles and falls 
away from the roots, often lets them 
dry out and get broken. Thus dirt- 
grown "mums often arrive in your 
hands in bad shape. Gurney’s moss- 
grown and moss-shipped plants stay 
healthy, alive, sound-limbed, do not 
break in shipment. When you put them 
in the ground, they grow.
