Chrysanthemums, the Fortunate Aftermath of the Season 
Garden Chrysanthemums 
The plants are hardy and come into bloom several weeks ahead of killing frost 
The Iridescent Group 
We are pleased to be able to offer our customers the first of this 
new class of Garden Chrysanthemums—Pyrethrum-Chrysanthemuni 
Hybrids. Although dominantly Chrysanthemums, the Pyrethrum 
influence is seen in the flowers in an added blending of colors, a soft 
glow or iridescence that is entirely new and fascinating as it changes 
with the development of the flower, or the differing lights of an 
autumn day. 
SYMPHONY. Mauve-rose, overcast with coppery rose, with the 
sheen of damask silk; as it matures, silvery lilac and faint copper 
tones appear. The flowers are double, 3 inches across, and carried 
in large sprays on strong stems. 234 to 3 feet. October 10. $2.50 
for 3; $9 per doz. 
MANDARIN. Coral, salmon, copper, and bronzy gold blend in a 
delightful combination. An elusive iridescent glow changes the 
color effect with every movement or change of light. The 23^-inch, 
double flowers of perfect form are produced in profusion. Compact 
plants about 2 feet tall. $2.50 for 3; $9 per doz. 
CALIPH. Double flowers of rich velvety crimson with a sparkle 
or glow not seen before in a Chrysanthemum. A remarkably free 
bloomer. The most attractive Chrysanthemum plant we have 
seen; a real advance in plant-habit alone. 234 feet. October 10. 
$2. 0 for 3; $9 per doz. 
Novelty Korean Hybrids for 1938
