A Trio of New Korean Chrysanthemums 
S INCE their introduction in 1933, 
the Korean Chrysanthemums 
have become immensely popu¬ 
lar. First came Mercury, followed 
last year by five others, thus giving 
a desirable lange of color and type 
of flower. The six are pictured on 
the opposite page. 
Now, this year of 1935 brings three 
new varieties. In beauty of color, in 
form of flower, and in habit of plant, 
these equal their older sisters, and 
will, unquestionably, become their 
companions in every well-ordered 
American garden. 
One distinct advantage is the early 
flowering habit, which lengthens to a 
marked degree the blooming season of 
the Korean Hybrids. This, coupled 
with the size of the individual flower 
and the great number of blooms 
carried by all of the varieties, seems 
to place these newcomers in the very 
front line of hardy plant novelties. 
If you would secure the best effect 
from plants of this character, it is 
always well to have not less than 
three of a variety in one group. You 
then get an abundance of bloom, and 
full value from the gorgeous display 
of color. 
HEBE 
This variety has a most distinct 
color—luminous pink, changing to 
lavender-pink as the blooms mature. 
;h;ebe 
Single plants, 75 cts. each; 
$7.50 per doz. 
The center is golden yellow, with a 
slight silvery halo at the base of the 
petals. Flowers are single, 3 inches 
or more across, and produced in late 
September and through October. 
The plants grow about 2 x / 2 feet high, 
and bloom very freely. 
ORION 
A distinct and brilliant canary- 
yellow fairly glistening in the autumn 
sunlight. It differs from the ordinary 
yellow Chrysanthemums in that it 
has the peculiar lustrous quality of 
the Korean Hybrids, and thus is 
quickly seen when in company with 
the older sorts. The single flowers 
are about 3 inches across, have ray¬ 
like petals, and appear about Oc¬ 
tober 1. Height, feet. 
VULCAN 
A color lather difficult to describe. 
It seems to come between Mars and 
Mercury, yet is distinct from either. 
The flower opens carmine-red, bril¬ 
liant and glittering; it soon changes 
to garnet-crimson, then to bronze- 
crimson. The golden center is sur¬ 
rounded by a double row of ray¬ 
like petals. The flowers are fragrant 
and carried on erect plants about 
iy 2 feet high.
