CARNIVAL 



A 1948 Introduction— THE MOST BRILLIANT OF ALL 



Conspicuously distinct among its garden companions throughout the 

 long- mum season is this gay newcomer. "Glowing burnt orange" best 

 describes the play of bronze, red and golden bronze shades; literally, it 

 gleams. The full double blossoms, 3J^ inches across,, carried on long, 

 slender nicely branched sprays are perfect for cut arrangements; the 

 heavily branched plant amazingly free and productive. Inheriting from 

 its Nipponicum* lineage, lusty dark green foliage carried right down to 

 Ike ground, the plant alone is a garden ornament. In full bloom Oct. 10. 

 Height, 2Yi to 3 inches. 



Price', $1.00 each; $10.00 doz. 



LAVENDER LADY 



A True Aristocrat— Universally Admired 



Breath-taking pure lavender. Full double blossoms, every one a model of 

 perfection. Without question the most distinct and popular Mum ever 

 introduced. Husky, branching 2}^ ft. plants. Early October. 



Price, 60c each; $6.00 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 colors 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; $6.00 per doz. 



FRED F. ROCKWELL (Pia rit Pat. n». 7i8> 



Briefly, it is the most gorgeous blending of bronze and orange-scarlet 

 tones ever seen in a pompon.' Amazingly prolific, the strong, branching, 

 2-foot plants often carry 75 or more symmetrically perfect flowers to a 

 single spray, several sprays to a plant. 



Without a growing fault, the plant is a thing of beauty in its lusty, 

 vigorous appearance. In full flower early October, it is remarkably frost 

 proof, resisting November storms and retaining its full brilliance long 

 after many others are destroyed. 



Price, 75c each; $7.50 per doz. 



These new Chrysanthemums are all early flowering and the flowers 

 are larger than ordinary garden varieties. Invaluable for growing out- 

 doors for cut flowers.
