NEW, EARLY, HARDY 

 CHRYSANTHEMUM 



Mme. Chiang Kai-shek 



(Patent Pending) 



This, the latest and one of the very 

 finest hardy Chrysanthemums, was A^ 

 named in honor of the "First Lady of 

 China." 



The fully double flowers, which average 

 2 inches across, are composed of stiff 

 petals that withstand any and all bad 

 weather, so that you get blooms of green- 

 house quality right in your garden. 



A vigorous plant carries masses of 

 thrilling blooms on stiff stems for 

 cutting, and so abundant that often ,- 



several vases of blooms can be cut ^ 

 from a single plant and still leave 

 plenty for outdoor show\ 



The color is excitingly lovely, a 

 blending of chrome-yellow, cad- 

 mium-yellow and old-goId that 

 simply glows when the long-lasting 

 flowers are under artificial light. 



Early to bloom, the first flowers 

 may open by the end of August, and 

 before the end of September they 

 are normally in full bloom on plants 

 2 to 23^2 feet high and often 2 feet 

 across. Order early. Stock limited.

Aster Frikarti 



Imagine plants 2 feet high, and 

 the same across, standing erect 

 with open, branching growth and 

 covered with sky-blue flowers on 

 long, wiry cutting stems, some 

 singly and others in heads of 5 to 

 10 blooms, making a lovely effect. 

 Blooms start in August and keep 

 up continuously until frost. 



The flowers are so profuse that 

 many can be cut for indoor enjoy- 

 ment without injury to the outdoor 

 show. They are very lasting and 

 retain their color both on the 

 plants and when cut. They will 

 keep fresh for 10 days or more if 

 cut just before the flowers open.
