Chrysanthemums 
(See pages 16 to 19) 
The Korean Chrysanthemum 
Chrysanthemurn Coreanum 
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 Oxeye 
Daisy, the petals often turning to a light claret pink. 
It blooms in the greatest profusion in early October 
to early Decernber. Of easy culture, thriving in any 
good garden soil. We believe the Korean Chrysanthe¬ 
mum possesses exceptional possibilities for cutting; 
there is nothing quite Uke it for the late fall.

NEW EVER-BLOOMING HARDY PINK 
SPRINGFIELD BEAUTY 
A new hardy ever-blooming hardy pink that is a 
most valuable addition to rock garden plants. The

practical dwarf border subject, the height averaging 
abotit one foot. Does well under rockery conditions, 
and makes one of the most valuable pink flowering 
plants for that purpose. 
CAESIUS (Cheddar Pink)—It is very compact in 
growth and makes a cushion of glaucous leaves 
from which in May, spring the sweet smelling, rose- 
colored flowers. It varies as much as from four to 
ten inches high. Very fine for the rock garden.
