There are hundreds of varieties 
of Chrysanthemums, with new 
ones being introduced each year. 
But we have selected for you 
those we think best. 
B1427—HUNTSMAN (Bristol). 
Double 214 to 3” blooms of 
brightest scarlet-orange overlaid 
with bronze tints. Long stems 
and long period of bloom. 69c 
each; 3 for 1.89, ppd. 
B1409—CHARLES NYE (Kraus). 
There are many fine yellow 
Chrysanthemums but we _ have 
not yet seen one better than 
Charles Nye. It has large (3 
inch) solid looking flowers, fully 
double, of a very brilliant butter- 
cup yellow. Blooms mid-Sept. 
on. Fine for cutting. 49c each; 
3 for 1.29, ppd.

flowers cut daily for the table. 
Reliable people have 
plant. 
The potted plants we send you 
will, by this fall, be 2 to 2% 
feet across and about 18” high, 
covered so solidly with blossoms 
that the foliage will hardly show. 
B1412—PINK. The light 
bloomers in the fall. 
B1411—BRONZE. Masses of dou- 
ble blossoms. 
B1414—RED. Bright red, and lots 
of it. 
Tuberous Begonias rival the 
rose in beauty and brilliance, 
and exceed them in size of 
bloom, attaining a size of 8 
inches across on a full grown 
plant. Nothing can compete 
with their summer-long display 
of color. 
They are the Great Creator's 
amswer to the need of the 
householder for a_ beautiful 
flower that will thrive in the 
shade. They are ideal for 
shaded windows and _ porch 
boxes, or shady spots in the 
garden. Direct sunlight will 
burn them up, but they do 
need filtered light, or makxi- 
mum light without sunshine. 
There are several kinds, but 
we think the double Camellia 
flowered type is most beautiful, 
and that is what we sell. 
Peonies are among the easiest 
to raise, and longest lived, of all 
flowering plants. They will with- 
stand the coldest weather that 
occurs in the United States, and 
will grow anywhere in _ this 
country excepting in the extreme 
southern states where the con- 
tinued warm weather does not 
give them the rest period they 
need. 
There are hundreds of varie- 
ties of Peonies, among them some 
very expensive ones. We have 
selected what we think are the 
finest, and at the same time 
kept within the reasonably priced 
class. 
Peonies will grow in almost 
any soil, but prefer a rich loam. 
They must have full sun; other- 
wise they may not bloom. Also, 
the little pink eyes on the Peony 
roots must be planted two inches 
below the level of the ground— 
not much deeper and not much 
shallower. These are the only 
requirements for a healthy peony 
plant that will give a wealth of 
bloom for many years. As you 
probably know, Peony flowers 
average 6 to 8 inches across, with 
some up to 10 and 12 inches 
across. 
B1511—EDULIS SUPERBA. This 
is a crown type. with enormous 
have 
reported 
several thousands blooms on one 
clear 
pink that is one of the earliest 
B1406—ERMINE (Kraus). There 
are many good whites, but we 
believe Ermine best. Blooms 3” 
across on long stems. Blooms 
late Sept. into Oct. Frost did 
not seem to hurt the color here 
when it did come here last fall. 
59c each; 3 for 1.59, ppd. 
B1461—TAPESTRY (Bristol). Our 
illustration falls far short of its 
real beauty. It is a combination 
of gorgeous shadings, opening 
gleaming rich pink and slowly 
softening to ashes of roses with 
golden flush. 3” flowers bloom 
from early Sept. thru Oct. 69c 
each; 3 for 1.89, ppd.

mine red flowers. Tall plant—
