The Three Iridescents and a New Korean 
SYMPHONY (Seedling No. 2-35 C. P.) 
Mauve-rose, overcast soft coppery rose, with the sheen of 
damask silk, would describe the dominant colors of this new 
variety. The flower in maturing acquires silvery lilac and 
faint copper tones, very lovely, but elusive and impossible to 
describe with accuracy. The flowers are large, 3 inches across, 
double, nicely formed, and carried on heavy, sturdy stems, 
several to a spray. It makes a free-flowering, handsome plant 
with lusty, attractive foliage. 2 x /i to 3 feet. October 10. 
CALIPH (Seedling No. 36-35 C. K. C. P.) 
For sheer intensity of color, this variety cannot be equaled. 
The color is ox-blood-red with a rich velvety sheen or glow so 
prominent that it stands out conspicuously among all other 
Chrysanthemums of this color. In addition, it has the finest 
growing habit we have noted, the plant in itself being attrac¬ 
tive long before the flowers appear. Remarkably free in 
flowering. A real advance. 2 l /i feet. October 10. 
MANDARIN (Seedling No. 18-34 C. P.) 
Coral, salmon, copper, and bronzy gold blend to a delightful 
combination. An iridescent glow, changing with the degree 
of light, is so prominent that the color effect, never exactly the 
same, is lovely even after the flower matures. Perfectly 
formed, double flowers, 2 x /i inches across, are carried profusely 
on erect, wiry stems. The plant is compact in habit and some¬ 
what dwarf—2 feet. October 10. 
SALADIN (Seedling No. 55-35 C. K.) 
A startling addition to the Korean varieties—best described 
as Chinese or Oriental red, shading to coral-red with coppery 
tones showing on the petal reverse. The 3-inch flower is sub¬ 
stantial, having four rays of petals. It is a vigorous-growing 
variety, producing branching sprays of delightfully fragrant 
blossoms. 2 x /i to 3 feet. October 10.
