Henry Field’s HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUM | 
We have long considered Chrysanthe- 
mums one of the best perennials, being 
easy to grow, hardy, free-blooming, color- 
ful, and beautiful. Generally speaking. 
they bloom from early September until 
severe frost comes, providing a wealth of 
blooms both in the garden and for bou- 
quets after many of the early-blooming 
flowers are gone. They like sun, and do 
best planted at least 24 inches apart. 
There are, of course, hundreds of va- 
rieties, but we have selected for you here 
what we consider the best—some of them 
old favorites, some new introductions. 
But all good, and beautiful.

Here’s Why Henry Field Mums 
Are Better Two Ways 
First, they are individually pot-grown. 
They are not just last year’s field-grown 
‘plants stored over winter. 
Often such 
plants are not in good condition when 
spring comes. 
Our plants are pot-grown 
young Chrysanthemums all ready for you 
to plant and sure to grow. 
Secondly, Henry Field’s have a sensa- 
tionally new and better way of growing 
pot-grown mums, They are not grown in 
dirt because dirt dries out in shipment, 
falls away from the roots so that they dry 
out and get broken. 
We grow and ship 
Henry Field mums in a special, light- 
weight, fibrous material that soaks up the 
moisture and liquid fertilizer we add to it 
while it is growing and again immediately 
before shipping. This material holds this 
moisture and fertilizer in shipment. It clings 
closely around the roots, protecting them 
from damage and air—keeps the plant alive 
and growing even while it is on its way 
to you! 
This material doesn’t fall away from the 
roots and you don’t remove it. Plant it 
right in the ground—it has enough ferti- 
lizer in it to carry the plant through half 
the summer on poor soil, and the entire 
season on good soil. 
Any mum plant 
“you get from Henry 
Field’s is a healthy, 
husky, pot-grown 
plant that has never 
suffered damage or 
shock in shipping or 
transplanting. 
And you get Henry 
“two-ways 
better” mums at no 
Field’s 
extra cost! 
Mum potted in dirt as Is 
commonly done, Small 
us when ahibp 
arrives in your han 
good plant for you.

of their abundant, rich green fo- 
liage.
