LARGE-FLOWERING HARDY 
The following varieties have been selected because they are early 
flowering and therefore more suited to northern gardens. They are, 
however, just as satisfactory elsewhere except that they will bloom 
a little later the farther south they are planted, because the days 
are longer. Blooming dates given are, of course, for the vicinity 
of LaCrosse. 
Prices: Any varieties: Each, 55¢; 3 for $1.48; 6 for $2.75; 12 for $5.20, postpaid. 
CHRIS COLUMBUS. A very outstanding flower of lovely ivory- 
white color. Fully double and good form. Luxuriant grower ex- 
cellent for cutting. Something over 2 ft. tall, blooming in late Sept. 
DAHLIAMUM. Large, double somewhat shaggy or slightly cac- 
tus shaped flowers. The color is a burgundy or red-violet and very 
showy. Close to 2 ft. in height, blooming about first or second 
week in September. 
EUGENE WANDER. Considered the largést and finest early 
blooming yellow. The huge flowers are 4 inches across, double, 
but of a rather loose formation creating a very beautiful effect. 
A hard to beat “mum” which should be in every garden. Not too 
tall, slightly over 18 inches, blooming about fourth week in August. 
GLOWING COALS. As indicated py the name this is a brilliantly 
colored flower, being a deep cherry-red with orange reverse. Well 
branched sprays of double flowers which will give a real spot of 
color in late summer. One of the earliest blooming reds, however, 
fiowering about third week in September. Height 2 ft. 
POLAR ICE. Clear glistening white. The double 3 inch flowers 
are beautifully formed and plants robust and compact. Not quite 
2 ft. high blooming in early Sept. 
PRELUDE. An exceedingly lovely “mum” with very large, dou- 
ble flowers which are a combination of flesh-pink and apricot-bluff. 
One of those fascinating colors difficult to describe. Unexcelled 
for cutting producing a profusion of blooms. Nice and tall, about 
2% ft., flowering around the end of the first week in September.

University of Minnesota, and are the hardiest available. “Mums” | 
however, to survive hard winters should be covered with some ver
