COMMERCIAL 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Price: 75c per plant, $7.50 per dozen, 
$50.00 per 100, except where noted 
Commercial mums are grown extensively. The early varie- 
ties like Silver Sheen, Hilda Bergen, and Mrs. Kidder 
flower satisfactorily outdoors. When grown in the garden, 
however, we cannot guarantee them to be entirely hardy. 
We recommend that after flowering, the roots are lifted 
and carried over in a cold frame or root cellar until the 
following spring.
