Land of Enchantment 
Birthplace of the Original Chrysanthemum coreanum 
T HE introduction of the Hybrid Korean Type Chrysanthemum, which we developed by crossing 
the wild Chrysanthemum coreanum with the best of the available garden kinds, has, in a few short 
years, added much to the beauty and joy of the fall garden. 
With the Hybrid Koreans have come varieties of more robust and attractive growth; a range of lovely 
pastel and intense shades that did not previously exist; and an additional degree of hardiness that is par¬ 
ticularly desirable in New England and other sections where winter is a problem. 
Reports from Maryland, Tennessee, and more southern sections indicate that the Korean Hybrids resist 
extreme heat unusually well. In Europe, particularly Great Britain, Holland, and Germany, they are 
attracting much attention—also in the Orient—so that they are now in almost universal favor. 
Greenhouse Culture. Although developed for garden use, the Korean Hybrids have proved altogether 
desirable for greenhouse culture, particularly for the private estate. Apollo, Ceres, Venus, Orion, Nancy 
Copeland, and Daphne are recommended. Under glass they flower about ten days later than in the garden. 
The Iridescent 
Group 
After several years of intensive breeding we have 
succeeded in partially blending the Chrysanthemum 
with Pyrethrum hybridum —the colored daisy so promi¬ 
nent in the early summer garden—and we are offering 
for this season the 3 varieties illustrated at the top of 
page 4. While these are dominantly Chrysanthemums, 
the slight infusion of Pyrethrum has added a soft glowj 
or iridescence that is entirely new and fascinating as it 
changes with the development of the flower or the 
differing light values of an autumn day. It is particu¬ 
larly noticeable in Symphony and Mandarin. The 
Urchin, described on page 6, the little waif of the gar¬ 
den which we introduced last season, developed in the 
course of this experimental work, is undoubtedly the 
first authentic hybrid of Chrysanthemum and Pyreth¬ 
rum ever offered. This season’s additions are, in com¬ 
parison, aristocrats—lovely to look at, refined to per¬ 
fection. Add the entire group to your collection, The 
Urchin included. You will find them just as hardy, just 
as easy to grow, as the average Chrysanthemum, and 
altogether fascinating.
