Hardy Chrysanthemums 
Just when Nature starts on vacation— 
from early September to “killing frost” time 
—the Hardy Chrysanthemums burst into a 
radiant display of color, beauty, and form. 
Resplendent in rainbow-like colors, some 
bold and vivid, some dainty and exquisite, 
they add a radiance and a zest to autumn, 
the beauty of which remains a delightful and 
refreshing memory. Chrysanthemums grow 
easily, preferring a good rich soil. Pinch back 
in June and late July to insure bushy plants. 
Apply a dressing of fertilizer during July. 
May delivery only, except in the South.

New Chrysanthemums 
These introductions of 1938 have been 
selected as being particularly fine and worthy 
of addition to our list. We are especially 
enthused about the varieties with Pyrethrum 
blood, “The Iridescent Group.” They furnish 
something novel and fascinating in flower 
color and texture. 
Caliph. Ml. A blending of Pyrethrum blood 
in this new type, while not changing the 
growth and foliage, has improved the 
texture and color of the flowers. They are 
a sparkling, rich, velvety crimson, double, 
and borne on a remarkably free-flowering 
plant of fine habit. 75 cts. each, $2 for 3, 
$5.50 for 10. 
Mandarin. M 2. Another Pyrethrum cross. 
Coral, salmon, copper and bronzy gold 
blended in a delightful combination. The

compact plant. 75 cts. each, $2 for 3,

flowering, single sort of the deepest, most 
penetrating yellow. A striking color.

carmine, with the tips and reverse of the

Saladin. Ml. A duplex single Korean.

its vigor, combined with a delightful fra¬ 
grance, make this a welcome addition to 
the Korean type. 75 cts. each, $2 for 3, 
$5.50 for 10. 
Symphony. Ml. A Pyrethrum hybrid with 
large, double flowers of mauve-rose, over¬
