INTRODUCTIONS OF 1932 
ALADDIN—With us this new variety reaches full beauty in October but 
does not make the wealth of bloom of Carrie, Wolverine, Normandie and Yellow 
Normandie during September. The color is a pleasing shade of bronze similar to 
A. Barham.

orange bronze cast which changes as it develops to a medium shade of pink; 
slightly darker than Murillo. Height, 2 feet. Matures October 10. 
ROSY GEM—Another bright pink or rose colored hardy variety; similar to 
Ganna but of a slightly softer tone with less of the purple cast. Height, 2 feet. 
Shows color last of September. Fully developed October 15. 
Plants from 2*4 inch pots: $0.30 each, $2.50 per ten, $20.00 per hundred.

STANDARD VARIETIES 
The majority of chrysanthemums are hardy south of the Ohio River and 
many are hardy in the northern states, as far as the plant is concerned, but they 
must flower before early frost to be of service. The varieties offered below gen¬ 
erally flower from the last of August to the middle of October. 
As earliness is very important to those in the northern states, we herewith 
append the dates when the color is prominent on most of the varieties. 
Carrie, Normandie, Winnetka and Wolverine—August 20. A. Barham, Alice 
Howell, Amelia, Eden and Lorelei—the end of September. 
A. BARHAM—Beautiful orange bronze. Early; matures September 30. Height, 
2 feet.
