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. 
EARLY FLOWERING 
In areas where the seasons are short early 
flowering chrysanthemums are most welcome.

gardens.

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 requested 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. 
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.

BETTY. One of the most beautiful new ““mums’’.

buff, peach-pink and bronze tones much like 
those found in nasturtiums. Early Oct. 30”.

soft primrose-yellow. One of the tallest of the

HEADLINER COLLECTION 
Please order by number. 
C3-54. One each of the “‘Headliners’”’ (6 plants

SPIDER-MITE (Aramite) 
Dust or Spray 
During hot dry weather, the leaves of chrysanthe- 
mums may turn brown because of red spiders 
or spider-mites which are almost microscopic but 
suck juices from the leaves. 
Start spraying early with SPIDER-MITE to keep 
your plants green and healthy.

Day-lilies or Hemerocallis.
