MAGNOLIA 



A Super-Hardy Novelty of Distinction for 1945 



This latest Hybrid from Nipponicum, so charming in its play of delicate colors, 

 is altogether distinct from any other garden variety. The very double, high 

 centered, 4-inch blossoms, Magnolia-like in substance, seem to reflect the soft 

 Pink tints of the Water-Lily in the opening flower, later shading to creamy Pink 

 with diffused soft Yellow overtones. Whether in the garden or in the home, it is 

 a color blending that simply grows on one. Plant qualities are superb too. About 

 2 feet in height, the stocky, rugged plants require no staking or special atten- 

 tion. In full flower by Mid-September, a long season of blossom is assured. 

 Price, 75c each; S7.50 per doz. 



RED VELVET 



The Chrysanthemum of the Year 



Mrs. Pierre S. duPont + Caliph is the parentage of this glorious new crimson. 

 It is the perfect combination, adding the erect, clean-growing habit of Mrs. 

 duPont to the rich color of Caliph. The shapely, full, double flowers, medium in 

 size, are carried erect on good stems. The color, velvety crimson when opening, 

 changes to an even dark crimson and it does not fade disagreeably, but remains 

 attractive for a remarkably long period. The plant has healthy dark foliage and 

 is attractive in itself long before flowering. Height, 2 ft. In full flower early 

 October. Price, 60c each; S6.00 per doz.
