i English 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 dll 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.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT—As Well as For Your Mums 
What your Mums need is a balanced organic food, not just a stimu- 
lant. They need one containing in right amounts, those things that make 
plenty of strong roots, produce sturdy stalks, thrifty foliage and an abun- 
dance of good sized blooms. That’s exactly the kind of Plant Food we 
use at Wayside. Much of our success in growing such unfailingly fine 
plants is due to it. Turn to page 187 and get the full facts about it. 
Pompon and Dbyidtinp Chr ysanthemums (Northland Daisies) 
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

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
