Early Flowering Haidy Chrysanthemum 



SEPTEMBER JEWELS 



A RECENT NOVELTY 

 1907 The most important advance made in Chry 

 santhemums since -the introduction of the Korean 

 Hybrids. They are of the utmost interest to all 

 gardeners who delight in growing hardy Chrysan- 

 themums from seed. 



September Jewels are hybrids of Rubellum and 

 exhibit this parent's early blooming characteristic 

 and winter hardiness. The plants start blooming 

 early in September from seed sown in early spring 

 and continue to give a magnificent display until 

 the middle of October. They develop into well- 

 rounded plants from 1 to 2 feet tall simply cov- 

 ered with masses of blooms which are resistant 

 to light frost. 



The large Daisy-like flowers show a distinct ten- 

 dency toward a double row of ray petals. They 

 measure from 2 to 3 inches in diameter and are as 

 desirable for cutting as for garden display. 



The range of colors is indescribably beautiful, 

 tending toward the more delicate tones, yet with 

 sufficient of the more rugged shades to give a 

 rich color balance' _ Pkt., 60e 



There are few flowers that lend themselves so 

 admirably tor flower arrangements, as the single 

 forms of Chrysanthemums. At the Fall Show of the 

 New York Horticultural Society, many 0/ the prize- 

 winning table arrangements were made with 

 Single Chrysanthemums.
