Hardy Chrysanthemums F.snJ 
Hardy Korean Mums 
A perfectly hardy new race of Chrysanthemums for the garden, with all the colorful variety of both the big indoor and the 
outdoor "Mums" that everyone likes so well. 
About sixteen years of intensive plant breeding has been required to develop these gorgeous, free-flowering beauties 
which were first found in far-off Korea by plant hunters of the United States Department of Agriculture. 
You will be well repaid for planting these in your garden, in abundant quantities of brilliant cut-flowers for your house all 
next fall and each fall thereafter. They brighten up the garden as no other class of flowers will, for they are sturdy enough 
to withstand the earlier frosts which so quickly kill off the Dahlias and others. Each plant will grow bushier and produce 
larger quantities of flowers each succeeding year, and you do not have to dig them up over winter. 
Offeied in well-rooted pot-plants in full leaf, all ready to set out in your garden when received by you. Order yours 
early because we know we shall sell more than we can produce for 1937 trade.
