Grown Anywhere 
BEAUTIFUL CHRYSANTHEMUMS are grown 
throughout the world. You, too, can have these 
Chrysanthemums in your garden, regardless of 
where you live. 
Customers in Northeastern and Eastern States 
write us of the wonderful success they have had 
with our Chrysanthemums, though some, grew 
them for the first time. They have been able to 
grow not only hardies, but also Commercial-exhi- 
bitions Pompons, as well as the exotic S pidery types. 
Blooms of some of the Spidery varieties even 
stand the freezing weather with little protection. 
Our Southern States customers are pleased with 
the prize-winning blooms they have been able to 
produce there.

INDEX — Chrysanthemums 
COLOR VARIATION: All color descriptions given in 
this catalog are somewhat arbitrary. They are observa- 
tions made here in San Gabriel, California, when the 
plants were grown under normal conditions and taken 
during their best period. Undoubtedly, the colors given 
would be more intense when cultivated in the cooler 
sections of the country, which is evident when an iden- 
tical variety is grown in the cool coastal areas only 30 
miles away from San Gabriel, while the same variety 
may become lighter in color when raised in the desert 
areas of California, Arizona, and parts of Texas, where 
late summer weather prevails during the Chrysanthe- 
mum season. Complete absence of the bronze color from 
the variety, ‘Mamoru,’ and the green color from 
“Nightingale” is evidence of color bleaching when sub- 
jected to prolonged solar heat during the blooming 
period. 
HEIGHT AND THE BLOOMING DATES: The height 
and the blooming dates are also based on observations 
made at our Gardens in San Gabriel, where a uniform 
cultural pattern is followed for a number of years. 
Planting is done between May 15 and June 30 or later 
in order of blooming period. The plants are all topped 
when they are about 6 inches high and, if necessary, 
topped twice. The terminal buds are retained for all 
early varieties, and mostly any bud being saved after 
September 1. All this is mentioned because the time of 
planting largely governs the height of the plant and the 
selection of buds has direct bearing on the blooming 
date. Height between 2 to 4 feet tall if listed as me- 
dium; everything above is tall, and below is short. 
CHANGES CAUSED BY DISBUDDING: Frequently 
during our Show we are asked, particularly by our new 
customers, why their flowers are not true to our catalog 
description or similar to our garden specimen plant. In 
most instances, the discrepancy is due to non-disbudding. 
Only by disbudding are we able to grow large size flowers 
as described in our catalog. Also, the round, perfectly 
spherical pompons or the prominent cushions centers of 
the anemone flowered varieties will not be present when 
grown in sprays.
