Lilliput Chrysanthemums 
These were imported by us a few years ago and have been carefully 
tested. Their outstanding merit is compactness of growth and neat- 
ness of habit. They form small mounds about 10 inches high and 
about 15 to 18 inches across. When in bloom all foliage is covered 
with flowers, each one as perfect in shape and form as if it were 
grown in a greenhouse. Rain and snow which so often damage 
Chrysanthemum flowers do not bother the Lilliputs. We are sure you 
will like these new little Mums.

Pompon and Button Chrysanthemums 
One of the outstanding advantages of Pompon and Button Chrysanthemums is their usefulness as 
cut flowers. Their prim blooms are composed of stiff, short petals which enables them to withstand 
bad weather much better than their shaggy brothers and sisters. When cut they last longer; for 
instance, a vase of Mme. Chiang Kai-shek flowers will last from ten to fourteen days. The list 
offered here contains all the best varieties of recent introduction. They are all strong growers 
and have fine stiff stems. 
Bokhara Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
Richly beautiful is this blending of soft rosy crimson and wine shades, 
bringing to mind the exquisite beauty of the far famed rugs of Bokhara.

full double, perfectly formed flowers are carried on stiff, well branched 
sprays, just perfect for cutting. Blooms around October 10: Height 2 feet.

symmetrically perfect flowers to a single spray, several sprays to a plant.

all time favorite.

tops for cutting, as well os very showy in the garden. The fully double

ters. The color is best described as a soft magnolia-purple which con-
