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 with 

 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 tlie 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 tlie New York Horticultural Society.

 four inch pots)
