SPECIAL CHRYSANTHEMUM GARDENS 
Solid tone gardens or white plus a color make the best 
Chrysanthemum plantings. Here is a way for you to 
paint your own Chrysanthemum picture but please fol- 
low its rules exactly or prices will be higher than indi- 
cated. For example, where the instructions are to pick 
three each of a variety, don’t split them into three varie- 
ties. We have to charge you more when you do, and if 
you do your garden won’‘t be as effective. 
The Bronze-Yellow Garden 
One each of any six varieties in the Yellow to Golden and 
Gold to Bronze types. Six plants, $3.90 
Three each of any six varieties of the same list. 
Eighteen plants, $9.50 
The Bronze-White Garden 
One each of any three whites plus one each of any three 
bronze-yellows. Six plants, $3.90 
Three each of any three white varieties plus three each 
of any three bronze-yellows. Eighteen plants, $9.50 
The White-Red Garden 
One each of any three whites plus one each of any three 
reds, Six plants, $3.90 
Three each of any three whites plus three each of any 
three reds. Eighteen plants, $9.50 
The White-Pink Garden 
One each of any three whites plus one each of any three 
pinks. Six plants, $3.90 
Three each of any three whites plus three each of any 
three pinks. Eighteen plants, $9.50 
The White-Lavender-Purple Garden 
One each of any three whites plus one each of any three 
lavender-purples. Six plants, $3.90 
Three each of any three whites plus three each of any 
three lavender-purples. Eighteen plants, $9.50 
Note: In planting the white combination gardens place the 
whites between the colors for contrast. By noting dates of 
bloom you can work out gardens which will bloom all at once 
or come in a succession of bloom. It is best, when ordering six 
plants, to have them bloom at about the same time. The larger 
gardens have more interest when planned for succession of 
bloom, say from mid-September to late October.

Royal Horticultural Society's 
Great Dictionary of Gardening 
This new (published 1952) Dictionary of Garden- 
ing replaces the indispensable Nickolson’s Encyclo- 
pedia which has been out of print for years and 
out of date for longer. It describes every plant suit- 
able for growing in the temperate zone and there 
is much fine data on tropical and subtropical 
plants. Each genus is described, is followed by 
descriptions of individual species within the genus 
and descriptions of hybrids widely grown. Defini- 
tions also cover common garden terms. Unlike most 
once-over-lightly books for amateurs, these fine 
scientific volumes take the trouble to list and define 
mulch, pricking out, June drop, etc., etc. This dic- 
tionary is indispensable for the serious gardener; 
certainly every garden club should have one for 
reference. Four volumes: 2316 pages. Profusely il- 
lustrated. Price: $55.00 including delivery.
