100 1000 
A remarkable new perennial of iron-clad 
hardiness from Korea, forming fine large 
clumps 2 to 3 feet in both diameter and 
height. The large white flowers have 
golden centers, resembling a glorified Ox- 
eye Daisy, the petals often turning to a 
light claret pink. It blooms in the great¬ 
est profusion in early October to early 
December. Of easy culture, thriving in 
any good garden soil. We believe the 
Korean Chrysanthemum possesses excep¬ 
tional possibilities. For cutting there is 
nothing quite like it for the late fall-

Sweet Wivelsfield

An entirely distinct and novel hardy 
Dianthus known as “Sweet Wivelsfield.” 
This new race resulted from a cross be¬ 
tween Dianthus Allwoodii and Sweet Wil¬ 
liam (D. Barbatus) made seven years ago. 
For two hundred years or so, crosses have 
been made between Carnations and Sweet 
Williams, and Pinks and Sweet Williams, 
but the resulting hybrids have been ster¬ 
ile, producing no seed and have been diffi¬ 
cult to propagate. However, this new race 
seeds reasonably well. Individual blos¬ 
soms are nearly three times as large as 
those of Sweet Williams and are borne in 
loose cymes. The colors come in hundreds 
of various shades including rich reds and 
purples with black lacings, whites and 
pinks with flakes and many other colors 
with innumerable markings. We recom¬ 
mend this as being one of the finest new 
plants we have ever grown.
