NEW HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Hybrid Korean Single Varieties 
Known the world over for its hardy native flora, Korea has given us, among other contributions, 
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 has been 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 attrac¬ 
tive 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. 
APOLLO: Superb autumn color. A sparkling 
combination of bronze, red, and gold suffused 
with glowing salmon. 
C'ERES: A lovely combination of old-gold, 
chamois-yellow, and soft coppery bronze. The 
mature flower petals appear as if dusted with 
gold. 
DAPHNE: Altogether a new shade of pink to 
the Chrysanthemum. It is an exquisite blend¬ 
ing of daphne-pink with an underlying sheen 
of lilac-rose, enhanced with prominent golden 
stamens. 
DIANA: A new color note for the garden. Cha- 
tenay-rose-pink, mingled with lilac-rose and 
soft salmon. The triple rays of petals give 
fullness. 
MARS: For those who prefer depth and bril¬ 
liancy of color in the garden. Deep amaranth- 
red, changing to wine-red, overlaid with a 
velvety sheen. 
MERCURY: The nicely formed, 3-inch, flowers 
open bronze-red and change to coppery bronze 
as they mature. A charming effect in the 
g'arden. 
Prices: postpaid 3-inch pots, 3 for $2.00; $7.50 
per doz. 
Field grown plants, 3 for $3.00; $10.00 per doz.
