CHRYSPOPCAN DESCRIPTION 
Twelve years of careful cultivation has been necessary to bring this beauti¬ 
ful flower to its present high state of perfection. The word beautiful does not 
describe it. One must see it bloom to really appreciate its rare beauty. Your 
imagination would need to run riot to gain any idea of the colors and tints. 
The flower resembles in many ways the Chrysanthemum, Poppy, Carnation, 
and some have the shape of Dahlia, so it might be truly said that it is a 
combination of all these favorites. 
The plant attains a height of from 2 to 4 feet. It has long graceful stems 
and handsome green foliage, forming an attractive bush. Each plant yields 
from ten to fifteen large and full flowers. One plant last year yielded 27 
perfect flowers. 
A chemist would probably analyze CHRYSPOPCAN to be composed of the 
following strains, Poppy, 75 per cent; Carnation, 10 per cent; Chrysanthemum, 
10 per cent; Dahlia, 5 per cent; with some plants varying slightly one way or 
the other. 
Most of these flowers are three to four inches in diameter. The petals are 
of imposing effect. Some are broad, resembling ruffled satin, which others are 
silky, curly and fringed. The formations are of great beauty, and it is im¬ 
possible to give an accurate detailed description. Each flower has an attractive¬ 
ness all its own. 
Colors produced to date are: Ashes of Rose, Chinese Red, Pink, Fuchsia, 
Red, Lavender, Mauve, White, Pink Tipped, White and Scarlet with Light 
Stripes. 
To grow Chryspopcan once means it will always have a choice spot in your 
garden.
