Land of Enchantment 
Known the world over for its hardy native flora, Korea has given us, among other con¬ 
tributions, Chrysanthemum coreanum , a species that has proved of great value to us for 
breeding purposes because of its iron-clad hardiness. 
From this sturdy native of Korea we have developed a new race of hybrids, a distinct 
type that adds new color , new interest, and new hardiness which we believe will make it possible 
to grow Chrysanthemums in sections where winter-killing has been a serious objection. 
Briefly, these new creations are better than the older type because they are hardier , 
more attractive and branching in growth , and ever so much easier to grow. The lovely new 
pastel shades , which simply defy accurate description or true color reproduction, suggest 
the Gerbera in their daintiness. Cut with short stems, they make the most charming table 
or miniature decorations, yet are capable of striking decorative uses if the entire branching 
sprays are used. They will prove valuable for artistic cut-flower uses and altogether compelling 
for color effect in the garden.
