Early Flowering Hardy 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- 1 

 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 I 

 rich color balance __Pkt. , 60c 



Popular and Colorful Late Flowering 



Hardy Chrysanthemums 

 1905 Korean Hybrids. Ours is the same 

 strain of seed from which many of the 

 popular named varieties of Korean Chry- 

 santhemums have originated. These form 

 bushy plants, flowering in the late fall. 

 The flowers are single, in a great range of 

 color. Seed sown indoors in the early 

 spring produces blooms in the fall. 

 Mixed Colors _ Pkt., 25c 



There are few flowers that lend themselves s< 

 admirably for flower arrangements, as the single 

 forms of Chrysanthemums. At the Fall Show of th< 

 New York Horticultural Society, many of the prize 

 winning table arrangements were made witl 

 Single Chrysanthemums.
