SELECTED NEW Super Giant English CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
For the last four years we have been importing and selecting the best 
new varieties of English Chrysanthemums. They have created quite a stir 
with us, as well as with hundreds of visitors who have seen them in bloom. 
Their colors, the size of the blooms and their free-flowering habit were un- 
equaled by any other English Mums we had ever seen. Practically all of 
them have very large flowers from 4 to 6 inches across. They can either be 
grown to give a mass of blooms or can be disbudded for even larger blooms 
and grown for exhibition purposes. Our supply of these superior new va- 
rieties is very limited; therefore, we would suggest that you send your order 
as soon as you can, to avoid disappointment. They are no harder to grow 
than any other hardy garden Chrysanthemums. Any good garden soil, in 
full sun, will produce excellent blooms. Most varieties will come into bloom 
in early October and even earlier, with the exception of a few varieties that 
start about the middle of October. See also Front Cover.

Sweetheart Group 
This ts really a class by itself, with 
lovely colors and blends. These va- 
rieties usually start to bloom in Sep- 
tember and continue until frost. If an 
upright plant is wanted, they must be 
staked; otherwise, they will make a 
sprawly plant about 18 inches high. 
These could be called Cascade Mums 
and could very effectively be used on 
the top of a wall or on slopes or banks. 
The flowers are all double and of me- 
dium size—3 to 4 inches across.
