HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Chrysanthemums are the ideal perennial for a glorious display of colors in late summer and fall. Their beauty in the garden or 
border is unsurpassed and they are very desirable for cut flowers and arrangements. Our chrysanthemums are strong well-rooted 
plants ready to establish quickly in your garden and produce a profusion of fine blooms the first year. They are not rooted hot-house 
cuttings. 
We have no desire to list the greatest number of varieties but by a policy of testing and elimination we hope to offer our customers 
a select collection of the highest quality varieties for outdoor culture. All are early blooming and the maturity dates given are accurate 
for first year plants. 
CULTURE 
Chrysanthemums develop into the best plants and bear the best and 
finest flowers from rooted cuttings started in the spring. They are adapt- 
able to many soils and growing conditions but they like abundant sun- 
shine, good rich soil and ample water during dry weather. Any fertile, 
slightly acid soil is satisfactory. They will survive sub-zero weather if 
proper soil and drainage are supplied, but good drainage is highly essen- 
tial. Incurved varieties require disbudding to produce the finest flowers 
and all varieties will produce larger flowers if disbudded. However most 
chrysanthemums are equally as effective in sprays in the garden or for 
cut flowers. No chrysanthemums shipped east of the Mississippi River.
