NEW EARLY KOREAN HYBRID 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
From 25,000 hybrid seedlings of 1934 the following were 
selected, not alone for the novel color tones in many of them and 
their variations in form but most particularly because of their 
flowering from ten days to two weeks earlier than the Korean 
crosses neretofore offered. 
The Korean Hybrids have been welcomed not alone for 
their dainty flowers and graceful plants but particularly for 
their increased hardiness. 
The varieties offered will begin flowering early in September 
and continue well through October.
