HENDERSON'S SPECIAL fflffi COLLECTIONS 



The Three Groups described here and shown in Colors on the Covers, are offerings of 

 Exceptional Value. They will add much to the Charm and Beauty of the Garden 



THE "SPOON" CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



Shown in Colors on Front Cover 

 A Distinct New Type. Perfectly Hardy in the Garden- 



Lovely for Cutting 



There is an airy charm and daintiness about this type that is not 

 associated with any other chrysanthemum in cultivation. However, 

 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 de- 

 velop into symmetrical rounded bushes about two feet high and two 

 feet across, and in the later part of October are covered completely 

 by the dainty flowers which average one and one-half inches across. 

 They add much to the beauty of the Rock Garden during the Autumn 

 months. 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 and in 1935 they won a special award.
