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 Chrys- 

 anthemums 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.

Early Flowering Hardy Chrysanthemum 



SEPTEMBER JEWELS 



A 1941 NOVELTY 

 1907 The most important advance made in Chrys- 

 anthemums 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- 

 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 

 rich color balance .._ Pkt., 60c
