The World's Premier Introduction of 



H ENDE RSON'S 

 "SPOON" CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



Perfectly Hardy in the Garden — Lovely for Cutting 

 Very Desirable for Pot Culture 



There is an airy charm and daintiness about this type that is not 

 associated with any other chrysanthemum in cultivation; and, notwith- 

 standing their apparent delicacy, they are as hardy as an oak, having 

 come through the extreme cold of the winter of 1933 without the slight- 

 est injury. 



Under ordinary garden cultivation the Spoon Chrysanthemums 

 develop into symmetrical rounded bushes about two feet high and two 

 feet across, and in the later part of October are covered completely by 

 the dainty flowers which average one and one-half inches across. The 

 flowers are produced on straight wiry stems, thereby making them very- 

 desirable for cutting purposes. They are most charming for table decora- 

 tions. 



Owing to their sturdy compact habit, the Spoon Chrysanthemums 

 are also excellent for pot culture. At the 1934 Chrysanthemum show in 

 New York a group of these won an Award of Merit of the New York 

 Horticultural Society. 



We offer the following varieties: (plants from four inch pots) 

 No. 1. Elf. Scarlet with terra cotta shadings. 



No. 2. Charm. Orange-tipped yellow. 



No. 3. Snowstar. Pure white. 



No. 4. Dainty. A soft pleasing pink. 



No. 5. Fairy. Rosy-Crimson. 



No. 6. Grace. Soft canary yellow.
