COLORFUL HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
For various and abundant colors in late summer and fall Chrysanthemums are wdispensable. Besides their garden value 
they are unsurpassed for cutting. We offer no late flowering varieties as in most sections of the country these are not suited 
for outdoor culture. Our Chrysanthemums are strong well rooted plants that will establish quickly in your garden. All are 
rooted outdoors and are much hardier than greenhouse rooted plants. 
CULTURE: CHRYSANTHEMUMS develop into the best plants 
and bear the finest flowers from rooted cuttings started in spring. 
Of course, undivided clumps will bloom from year to year but the 
foliage and flowers will be vastly inferior. They like good rich soil 
and abundant water during the dry weather. A mixture of sand, leaf 
mold and rotted manure is ideal but any fertile friable soil slightly 
acid is very satisfactory. Good drainage is imperative as they often 
winter kill in poorly drained heavy clay soils, but they will endure 
zero temperatures if the proper soil and drainage are provided. All 
Chrysanthemums bear larger flowers if dishudded. However, with 
the exception of the incurved varieties, dishudding is not essential 
as they are just as effective in sprays either in the garden or in 
bouquets. 
SHIPMENT: May 1 to June 1. 
EARLY ENGLISH VARIETIES 
Are the solution for those who prefer large early flowering types. 
Disbudding will reward you with 6 to 7 inch flowers on some 
varieties. However, many are just as effective left to bloom in 
sprays. The color range is complete and we cannot recommend 
this group too highly. All are double.
