Mum's the Word for Variety 



Mums come in great variety. Here are the 

 main groups, as we present them in this catalog: 

 Decorative or Large Flowered (pages 4, 5, 6, 7): 

 All-purpose, usually double, for cutting and 

 outdoors. Early to midseason. Medium height, 

 bushy. Pompon (pages 8, 9): Ball shaped, excellent 

 to cut. Midseason. Cushion (pages 10, 11, 12): 

 Finest for garden display. Low, spreading, early to 

 bloom. Daisy (page 13): Usually single flowers. Medium 

 tall, midseason. Spider (page 13): Very large, "Raggedy-Ann" 

 flowers. For elegant arrangements. Tall, usually late. Spoon 

 (page 14): Petal tips shaped like a spoon. Medium to tall, 

 early to midseason. Anemone (page 15): Large pincushion cen- 

 ter. Early midseason. Football (page 15): Enormous, solid 

 globes. Tall, late blooming. Harvest Giants (pages 16, 17): 

 Super size, like a florist's mum. Medium to tall. 



Mums brightening a doorstep 



Dear Gardening Friends, 



Again we are pleased to put this Chrys- 

 anthemum catalog in your hands. As you 

 leaf through it, you will notice the wide 

 range in the shape and size of these remark- 

 able flowers. From the big, boastful Foot- 

 ball Giants over 6 inches across, down to 

 the 13^-inch Pompons, mums are full of 

 color and energy. They are the delight 

 of everyone who likes a bouquet, for they 

 last longer than any other flower and their 



stiff stems make arranging an easy job. 



Best of all is the fact that mums live and increase year after 



year, even where the winters are severe. They brighten your 



garden for weeks in the autumn after other flowers are gone. We 



heartily recommend them to every gardener.

Tremendous Spoon flowers as much as 5 

 inches broad. Basically they are a 

 smooth reddish bronze, shading to peach at each petal tip. Me- 

 dium height plants, but they seem a whirling fantasy when a 

 breeze catches them. Bloom comes in late September. For a real 

 treat, try disbudding some of these huge heads of bloom (see 

 page 15).
