Commercial Chrysanthemums 
Commercial mums are grown for florists. The early varieties like Silver Sheen, Hilda Bergen, and Mrs. Kidder flower 
satisfactorily outdoors. When grown in the garden, however, we cannot guarantee them to be entirely hardy. We 
recommend that after flowering, the roots are lifted and carried over in a cold frame or root cellar until the following 
spring. 
Price: 75e per plant, $7.50 per doz.. $50.00 per 100
