New Early Hybrid Korean Mums 
Offered for the First Time, Spring 1936 
The following varieties of these New Korean Hybrids are the result of several years’ work. Selections were made not alone 
for the novel color tones but most particularly because of their flowering ten days to two weeks earlier than the former set 
of Koreans. 
You know of the immense popularity of the first group of Korean Hybrids. These new discoveries are entirely different, 
both in color tones and their flowering season which because of being earlier is one of the big advantages. 
We are offering these new varieties for the first time this spring. If you are a lover of Chrysanthemums, we hope very 
much that you will give them a trial. You will note that we are offering these at a very reasonable price. We will have all 
varieties ready for shipment from 2" pots from April 1st on.
