CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
ODD FORMED VARIETIES 
This type in most instances is unsatisfactory for general commercial use. The 
reason is the petals are so long and fragile that they cannot, without injury, be 
shipped and handled as most Chrysanthemums are. To those who arrange their 
own products they are quite serviceable for the grace and beauty they impart. 
Standard Varieties 
Most of the varieties in this section originated in Japan where they are considered 
the most beautiful of the entire Chrysanthemum family. They are indeed very unique

PRIDE OF TOKYO. (Introduced by us 1931). From the 
fact that this variety is a protege of the Japanese variety 
Tachibana and inasmuch as most of this type origina¬ 
ted in Japan we have named this novelty after one of 
the important Japanese cities. In structure it is com¬ 
posed of long tubular petals most of which are hooked 
up or spoon like at the extreme tips. The color is a 
very delicate creamy pink. Not fully matured by Nov¬ 
ember 20. Will produce four to five flowers per plant 
like the accompanying illustration which presents flow¬ 
ers whose extreme diameter is IN /2 inches. The stem 
is more rigid than that of many of this class.

grown very large.
