yl CARYSANTHEMUMS 
r | YHE Chrysanthemum is one of the world’s oldest cultivated flowers. Originating in China, “The Mother 
of Gardens,” as tiny pink and yellow daisies, less than an inch in diameter, they were taken into gardens 
and, through centuries of breeding and selection by painstaking plant-lovers, have been developed into 
the glorious exhibition and garden varieties we have today. There are several distinct types in cultivation 
today, the most important of which we offer. The so-called Oriental or Exhibition type, grown under glass in 
ine and in gardens in the South, requires care and good culture to produce the mammoth flowers so 
esired. 
The Hardy Garden Chrysanthemums, the Pompons, Buttons, and Singles are truly everybody’s flower, 
blooming in splendid sprays. They are easy to grow and furnish quantities of long-lasting cut-flowers, 
brightening the garden for many weeks.

THE GLORIOUS CHRYSANTHEMUM 
We love Chrysanthemums here at Vestal’s, and during the 80 years we have been in business, 
have tested about all the new things that have come along. We discarded most of them, but kept the 
best, so that today we can offer a fairly large list of really dependable varieties in the various types. 
No garden ever has enough Chrysanthemums to cut, so look through these pages and try some of 
the newer varieties. , 
One of the interesting things about Chrysanthemums is the great variety of types. Blooming as 
they do at the end of the season when most flowers have finished, these many classes easily take the 
place of other kinds of flowers.
