Three New Korean Hybrids 



Eugene A. 'Wander. Coming into flower in late Septem- 

 ber it is soon a gorgeous glistening mass of double 

 golden flowers, sometimes tinted bronze. It blooms 

 so freely that the plant is almost completely obscured. 

 Very hardy and vigorous, and requires no special 

 pinching to produce flowers 4%"-inches across. They 

 grow larger if disbudded. 20c each; $17.00 per 100. 



Milky Way. Forerunner of a distinct new type of 

 Chrysanthemum. Buds are a creamy yellow, opening 

 into flowers of the most intense milky white in marked 

 contrast to the rich green foliage that covers the 

 plant. The handsome, semi-double, informal blossoms 

 with broad overlapping petals of unusual texture are 

 carried in branching sprays of 5 or 6. More frost re- 

 sistant than any other early white and perfectly hardy. 

 18c each; $15.00 per 100. 



Sirs. Pierre S. du Pont III. This sensational variety 

 comes nearer to perfection than any variety we know. 

 The dominant color is a soft peach-pink, tinted with 

 rosy salmon and fawn, overcast with a luminous 

 sheen and presenting an entirely new color effect. 

 The very large, shapely, double flowers are borne on 

 vigorous, hardy, free-branching plants. In full flower 

 in early October. 20c each; $17.00 per 100. 



Double Flowered Korean Hybrids 



Much progress has been made in the last few years 

 in the production of double forms of the popular Korean 

 Hybrids. We offer a choice collection below. 



Caliph. Deep oxblood-red with a rich velvety sheen. 

 Very showy and greatly admired. 



Uandarin. Coral, salmon, and bronze blended to make 

 a very attractive flower. The plant is compact but 

 the blooms are carried on stiff wiry stems. 



Pale Moon. Fluffy sulphur-yellow flowers completely 

 covering the compact plants. A new color in this type 

 and very promising. 



Roberta Copeland. A very unusual rose-red which ma- 

 tures as a salmon bronze. It is an early bloomer 

 starting about middle of September. 2 ft. 



Rose Glow. Appealing old rose blooms borne in great 

 profusion on plants reaching about 2 feet high. Blooms 

 about October 5. 



Sequoia. Elegant, good sized, double blooms of a mel- 

 low amber color. 



Symphony. Mauve-rose overcast with soft coppery tints 

 giving the flowers an unusually different and attrac- 

 tive appearance. Of strong healthy growth. 



Any of the above, 2-inch pots: 

 9c each; $8.00 per 100.
