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 2Yi ft. plants. Early October.

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 canied 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. 



The Outstanding Chrysanthemum Novelty of 1946 



FRED F. ROCKWELL (patent applied for) 



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

 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. 



This dazzling i>onii>on, we believe, is destined to be an all-time favorite 

 — a credit to one of the great names in Horticulture and another distinctly 

 worth-while addition to the many notable introductions from Bristol;

 attractive. A beautiful variety either in the garden or for cut flowers.
