Land of Enchantment 
Birthplace of the Original Chrysanthemum coreanum 
Glorious New CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
for Your Garden 
Each season we note a greatly increasing interest in Chrys¬ 
anthemums for the garden. Over fifty thousand visitors came 
to Bristol during the ’Mum season of 1936 to see our display. 
Perhaps we are justified in believing that in originating and 
introducing, first, the Single Korean Hybrids, followed more 
recently by the Double Korean Hybrids, we have contributed 
substantially to this rejuvenation of the Chrysanthemum as a 
worthy garden subject. 
From thousands of cross-bred seedlings we select for intro¬ 
duction only those that are thoroughly tested and of proved 
merit. The three new Double Korean Hybrids offered here, 
with Indian Summer and Romany (last year’s introductions), 
represent a real advance. They are hardier, easier to grow, and 
altogether more lovely and desirable than the majority of the 
older type. 
Reports from various sections of the country indicate that 
the Korean Hybrid type is not only hardier but also resists 
summer heat better in the Southern States where Chrysan¬ 
themums are not altogether happy. This is due to a more 
robust and vigorous habit. Try some of these new Aristocrats. 
They will prove delightful additions to your garden and simply 
lovely for cut-flower purposes. 
Romany 
A lovely flower that truly defies accurate de¬ 
scription. Fairly glowing in the subdued autumn 
sunshine; again different, but equally beautiful, 
under artificial light. The dominant color (ac¬ 
cording to Ridgway’s Chart) is between carmine 
and nopal red. In effect it is a soft glowing red 
with bronze tone, enhanced or illumined some¬ 
what by the gold petal reverse appearing in 
the center of the flower. The blooms are full, 
double, perfect as a cut-flower, remaining in 
good condition at least three weeks with 
ordinary care. Height, feet. In flower about 
October 5. 
These two varieties were exhibited at the 
“Garden of the Nations” October exhibition and 
received a “Special Award.” 
Indian Summer 
Vivid, glowing orange (Mars orange, Ridg- 
way). The unfurled central petals add a lumi¬ 
nous golden orange reflection that immediately 
captures attention. It is a large flower, 3 inches 
across, many-petaled, somewhat shaggy, but 
altogether attractive and distinct in form. It 
blooms about October 15, terminal flowers first, 
followed by a succession of side buds, somewhat 
candelabra-Iike in effect, thus prolonging its 
effective display. Growth is distinct, erect, and 
sturdy, never requiring support of any kind. 
More frost-resistant in the flower than any 
double kind that we know. It fills the need per¬ 
fectly for a late-flowering Chrysanthemum that 
will not be marred or destroyed by late October 
frosts. Height, 2 to 2)^ feet. 
Prices of above two varieties, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
