COLORFUL HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
For various and abundant colors in late summer and fall Chrysanthemums are indispensable. 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 
soul slightly acid is very satisfactory. Good drainage is imperative 
as they often winter kill in poorly drained heavy clay soils, bul 
they will endure zero temperatures if the proper soil and drain- 
age are provided. All Chrysanthemums bear larger flowers if 
disbudded. However, with the exception of the incurved varieties, 
disbudding is not essential as they are just as effective in sprays 
either in the garden or in bouquets. 
SHIPMENT: April 1 to june 7. 
NEW ENGLISH CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
This wonderful strain of big early flowering mums has been 
favorably received throughout the entire country. Lovers of this 
popular perennial can now have exhibition flowers comparable 
to the greenhouse varieties including a complete color range ex- 
ceeding the florist types. We have tested hundreds of English 
varieties and find them generally as hardy as other outdoor types. 
The 100 recent introductions offered here represent the most 
outstanding from approximately 400 varieties observed during 
the past two years. Many are recent imports and were intro- 
duced in this country for the first time in 1950. All are early

flowers if disbudded.
