HENDERSON’S NEW ‘“‘SPOON’’ 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Perfectly Hardy in the Garden—Lovely for Cutting 
Very Desirable for Pot Culture 
There is an airy charm and daintiness about this type that is not associated ~ith 
any other chrysanthemum in cultivation; and, notwithstanding their apparent 
delicacy, they are as hardy as an oak, having come through the extreme cold of the 
winter of 1933 without the slightest injury. 
Under ordinary garden cultivation the Spoon Chrysanthemums develop into 
symmetrical rounded bushes about two feet high and two feet across, and in the 
latter part of October are covered completely by the dainty flowers which average 
one and one-half inches across. The flowers are produced on straight wiry stems 
thereby making them very desirable for cutting purposes. They are most charming 
for table decorations. 
Owing to their sturdy compact habit, the 
Spoon Chrysanthemums are also excellent for 
pot culture. At the 1934 Chrysanthemum show 
in New York a group of these won an Award of 
Merit of the New York Horticultural Society. 
We offer the following varieties (plants from 
four inch pots)
