in wonder!

Large-Flowering Hardy Chrysanthemums _ 
The following varieties have been selected 
because they are early flowering and there- 
fore 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, 60¢; 3 for $1.60; 6 for $2.95; 12 for $5.50, postpaid.

blooming the second week in September.
