SUMMER A MOST COLORFUL SEASON OF 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
The varieties here listed have ccnsistantly

land where the first light frosts are expected

sistant to light frosts. The Cheyenne, Wyo., 
Horticultural field Station (6,100 ft. alt.) has

the following varieties indicated at U.S.D.A. We 
suggest varieties according to altitude as follows:

Bronze and Yellow Cushion, White Gull, Pygmy 
Gold, Manatico; from 5,500 to 6,500 ft. —— most any variety blooming in September or 
earlier; less than 5,500 ft. — all varieties in this list. 
Height of plants when in bloom is stated after each variety. This is for comparison and 
will vary depending on location, soil, watering. Plants usually grow a little taller the second 
year. Chrysanthemum plants usually take until May Ist to establish sufficient growth be- 
fore transplanting. Priced Postpaid.
