Hardy Perennial Plants for The Florist (Continued) 
NEW HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUM 
"Achievement" 
This variety is especially adapted fofcipot plants, also for an excellent 
showing outdoors. It has the characteristics of Amelia in its habit of 
growth but it is a Pompon variety, the color being a beautiful shade of 
bronze. It is double to the center and as it fades out it takes on a 
pinkish cast. This is an exceptionally early variety, the terminal buds 
coming into bloom September 5th, which is about 30 days ahead of 
Amelia or Pink Cushion. Achievement is the last word in an early 
flowering garden variety of Chrysanthemum and it has wonderful 
possibilities. It is without question the most beautiful dwarf Hardy 
Chrysanthemum in existence today.

double white flowers which later turn to shell 
pink. Well established 2-inch pots:
