CHRYSANTHEMUM SPECIES 
These particular types are not of especial commer¬ 
cial value. They are, however, most interesting to the 
student and others when they realize these types are 
ancestors to our present day Chrysanthemums. 
ARCTICUM—Nearly pure white, single, first flowers 
October first. Diameter of flowers, 2 y 2 inches. Height, 
12 inches. Foliage small. A fine subject for rock 
gardens. 
COREANUM—The flowers are single, color blush 
white; iy 2 to 2 inches in diameter. While exceedingly 
hardy it is inclined in some localities to make many 
blind growths, possibly due to the extreme heat of sum¬ 
mer; a condition abnormal in its habitat, Korea. 
INDICUM—A common wild plant in Southern China 
and no doubt often obnoxious. The flowers are single, 
color yellow, 3% inches in diameter. Plants make many 
branches as well as lateral growths and are free flower¬ 
ing, the same as those known as mountain varieties. 
MORIFOLIUM—The flowers are single, flesh pink, 
iy 2 inches in diameter. Blooms about September 25. 
Each growth produces many laterals, each flowering 
profusely. Attains 3 feet in height. 
MAWII—This does not belong to the same family 
as the foregoing. It comes from the mountains of North¬ 
ern Africa. A low growing plant about 8 inches in height 
with fine cut leaves. The slender flower stems extend 
upward about 12 inches with a solitary pink flower with 
dark center. Admirably adapted for the rock garden. 
Plants from 2*4 inch pots: $0.25 each, $2.00 per ten, 
$15.00 per hundred. 
Not less than 5 of a variety at ten; 25 at hundred rate. 
Japanese Mountain or Cascade Varieties 
These are small single varieties of fairly dwarf growth, very free flowering, 
and with soft or pliable stems. The term Cascade is given these varieties from 
the fact that one or more growths may be bent down without injury to the 
plant making them acceptable for use on tables or other flat furniture. 
INTRODUCTIONS OF 1934 
BROWN BUTTON—This baby pompon has such a pliant stem that it is a 
fine subject to be grown as a cascade variety. It is dark bronze in color, matur¬ 
ing November 10 and is one inch in diameter. 
SHOOTING STAR—We have been fortunate in securing an anemone 
variety which belongs to the cascade section. The star shaped flower is yellow 
and the center is a low anemone cushion, maturing November tenth. Diameter, 
one and three-eight inches. 
Plants from 2 l / 4 inch pots: $0.40 each, $3.50 per ten, $30.00 per hundred. 
Not less than 5 of a variety at ten; 25 at hundred rate.

Plants from 2<4 inch pots: $0.25 each, $2.00 per ten, $15.00 per hundred.
