CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
The new hardy chrysanthemums have been bred for earliness, hardiness 
and new form and color so bear little resemblance to the varieties we 
knew a few years ago. They may be had in bloom from Sept. to Nov. 
Many gardeners with limited space are planting their ‘““mums”’ in rows 
in vegetable areas or cold frames and moving the clumps into their gardens 
when they begin to flower. 
There are so many ways that Chrysanthemums 
can be used. Here they are arranged in a 
copper bowl with Bittersweet and English Ivy. 
HEADLINERS 
Here are the varieties which were leaders in 
the last few years and are still maintaining that 
position after several years of testing in Amer- 
ican gardens. 
Price. Each 60c; Any three $1.50; Doz. $5.30. 
CARNIVAL. Vivid burnt-orange and bronze 3”

trast to the rich, dark green foliage. Sept. 24th.

SHIPPED ONLY IN THE SPRING 
We do not recommend fall planting of ““Mums”. 
Our Chrysanthemums should not be planted as early as other perennials so 
we do not ship them until the middle of May unless earlier shipment is re- 
quested at the time the order is placed. Since they are packed separately they 
will not arrive with other perennials you may have on your order.

ing the standards by which the latest introduc-

CANARY WONDER. A soft canary or primrose- 
yellow pompon variety in which the 114” ball
