 or Single types. The llowors are n\ore double, with 

 loosely arranged petals and larger in size tlian tlie

Novelty 



RUTH GUMMING. (A. N. Pierson, Inc.) To those 

 to whom the colors of autumn appeal and who grow 

 Chrysanthemums in the open, this novelty of our own 

 raising will be welcome. We have been raising seedlings 

 from Norniandie, which is the finest exaTiiple of the 

 eariy-tlowering outdoor type and this reddish bron/e, 

 decorative t\pe seedling from Normandie has all the 

 desirable characteristics of an outdoor variety. It has 

 proven hardy in New England. It is dwarf and com- 

 pact in growth. It suckers freely, making heavy clumps. 

 It withstands the early frosts without injury. From 

 October 15 to November 10 it has been a mass of color.
