The blooming guides given is the observations of sev- 
eral years in our locality which is in the western part 
of Maryland near the Blue Ridge Mountains. As many 
of you know, Chrysanthemums will show a great dif- 
ference as to when they start to bloom from one year 
to another. It is often a variety may bloom one to two 
weeks earlier one year, and one to two weeks later the 
next year. Therefore, the time given is about the aver- 
age. I feel quite sure you will find it as accurate as 
possible in most any part of the country. 
Some of the words used, such as cushion type are 
the Azalea or Cushion Mums of the original or varie- 
ties that have been developed and are so much like 
them that they can be classed as such. The large double 
varieties are those that have blooms 3 inches across or 
more and can be classed with such known varieties as 
Lavender Lady and Mrs. P. S. DuPont. The medium 
double are those of medium size, usually around 2 to 8 
inches across, and would be something on the order of 
Harbor Lights, and Red Velvet. Semi-double varieties 
are those that have 2 or more rows of petals and show 
the center. Single varieties are those usually with one 
row of petals, occasionally two. Button type, Cushion 
Pompon, and Pompons are themselves explanatory. 
English varieties are not marked, as this is more or 
less a well known fact that the blooms are very large 
and in most cases are fully double. The greenhouse 
varieties offered are the exhibition big ball shaped 
bloom which are often seen in the florists’ windows or 
greenhouses during the fall, and which always de- 
mand fancy prices. These, of course, need disbudding 
to get perfection of blooms. 
Although most Chrysanthemums are suitable for cut 
flowers one way or another, we have indicated varie- 
ties which we think are the best. The ones with one t 
are recommended varieties. Those marked with two tt 
are a must varieties highly recommended. These are 
the ones that usually have the longest stems and most 
perfect in blooming habit. 
Prices given are for strong 2” wooden bands which 
are the equal of at least 244” clay pots. Prices on rooted 
cuttings are marked R. C. 
In preparing this list, the thought is to give you 
brief but accurate description of this useful perennial. 
I hope that you will find it helpful in selecting varieties 
best suited for your purpose. Inquiries regarding fur- 
ther information are always welcome.
