Dreer's Hardy Garden Chrysanthemums 



Korean Hybrid Chrysanthemums 



The Korean Hybrids first offered a few years ago have enhanced the attractiveness 

 of this class by adding greater hardiness and much grace to the assortments pre- 

 viously in commerce. Since their first introduction there have been many improve- 

 ments and variations, all worthwhile. We recommend this type heartily with full 

 confidence in their giving you much useful service. 



Dreer*s Ten Extra-Early Korean Hybrids 



These ten extra-early flowering Korean Hybrids, introduced by us in 1936. 

 have won universal acclaim. They embody many outstanding features such as 

 free-flowering habit, compact well-rounded growth, and above all their natural 

 tendency to come into bloom 10 days to 2 weeks earlier than the general assort- 

 ment of this type. 



Auburn. Lovely compact grower and 

 remarkably free-flowering. Has deep 

 salmon blooms enhanced by a rosy 

 sheen. Highly recommended, 



Clio. Dwarf compact plants of pleasing 

 habit producing great masses of deep 

 carmine-rose blooms which are of a 

 beautiful duplex formation. 



Fortuna. Very vigorous plants of 

 medium height covered with oxblood 

 red flowers, measuring 3 to 4 inches in 

 diameter. Gracefully curled petals. 



Hestia. Semi-double rose-pink flowers 

 with a white halo. They are produced 

 very freely on attractive, compact, 

 bushy plants. 



Nysa. A large-flowered variety of tall 

 upright growth; 3 ft. in height. Provides 

 an abundance of clear rosy lilac blooms. 



Psyche. A dainty variety with well- 

 formed single blooms of a lively shell 

 pink color. Of excellent habit and a 

 very free bloomer. 



Sappho. Always greatly admired for 

 the loveliness of its showy single bright 

 yellow blooms which give a mag- 

 nificent effect. 



Thalia. A compact bushy plant growing 

 18 to 24 inches tall. The duplex flowers 

 are an attractive light orange.

 splendid vigor. Literally covered with 

 deep golden orange blooms which 

 measure over 2j inches in diameter.

 abundantlj' as to cover the plant.
