Garden and Greenhouse Large-Flowering 
Type. 
Each year we have more requests for the large 
greenhouse type chrysanthemums. These are not 
as hardy as the garden type mums but can be 
carried over winter very successfully in a cold 
frame under giass. To produce those big 5-6 inch 
blooms they require disbudding, leaving one to 
three flowers to each plant. 
We offer only the choicest early varieties:
