Hardy Garden Chrysanthemums 



Hardy Garden Chrysanthemums 



Five Cumming's Creations 



These are the last five originations of the 



late Alex Cumming, the master hybridizer of 



Mums and other hardy perennials. 



ALEX CUMMING. Mammoth, colorful, 

 vigorous! Superbly molded, 4-inch flowers 

 open entrancingly rich, pure cerise and 

 gently mature to delightful rose color. 

 Majestic blooms incurve at the center and 

 recurve at the petal tips. Exotic as a big 

 greenhouse Mum. A 23^-foot eyeful from 

 early October on. 



CANARY WONDER. One of the most ra- 

 diant gems. Breathtaking, unmatched 

 soft canary-prim fose- yellow — absolutely 

 the only pompon of its color. Perfection 

 personified, with 1 J^-inch balls literally 

 swarming over a columnar, 23^-foot bush. 

 Magnificent sprays to cut. Blooms from 

 mid-September on. 



FASCINATION. A huge, lovely decorative 

 4 inches across or more, of stunning silvery 

 lavender-pink with centers a wee bit 

 deeper. As further charm, it offers an 

 occasional bloom of misty, creamy white. 

 A paragon of beauty from late September 

 on, when deep rosy red buds swell so en- 

 ticingly. Often only one gigantic flower 

 to a stem. Prolific, 2-foot plant. 



JUBILEE. A sturdy, 18-inch plant, a mass of 

 glowing red from late September on. 

 Livens the yard for weeks. Informal 

 1 J^-inch pompons become clear deep red 

 after the opening hint of crimson mellows. 

 Splendid for bedding and bunching. 



SPINDRIFT. Lusciously double, 3-inch 

 decorative, with a tiny hint of cactus 

 petalage, flaring faintly like a dahlia. As 

 pure white as any Mum; a creamy center 

 softens it deliciously. Stocky, 18 to 24-inch 

 plant splendid for short-stemmed bouquets. 

 Early October. 



75c. each; any 3 for $2.00; 6 for $3.50; 



$6.50 per doz.

 colors and blends. These varieties usually
