NEW 
HARDY HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS 
7 of the Choicest Recent Introductions 
Chrysanthemum, Jane Kelsey 
Years ago we introduced the now famous KOREAN CHRYSANTHEMUM. This was used to pro¬ 
duce the lovely new KOREAN HYBRIDS which have earned a lasting place in American Gardens. 
Among these Chrysanthemums, JANE KELSEY is outstanding. The large single flowers are a 
lustrous clear pink and are borne in great profusion. The plant is strong growing and of unusual 
hardiness, surviving the harshest winter weather. In the unusually difficult 1937 flowering season, JANE 
KELSEY was the only KOREAN HYBRID that flowered dependably and profusely in our test gardens. 
Unsurpassed for garden use, it is equally desirable for inside decoration, lasting two weeks or 
more as a cut flower in the house. 
Grow this in your garden. You will agree with us that it is the finest of all the KOREAN HY 
BRIDS.

Chrysanthemum — Pygmy Gold 
New in 1938, this distinct dwarf Korean Hybrid is another notable contribution of the Bristol Nur¬ 
series, Inc., Bristol, Conn. They describe it as “producing quantities of miniature blossoms slightly over 
one inch across. The color is a clear golden yellow, remarkable for its brilliance and intensity. Com¬ 
mencing to flower in early September, it is easily the most colorful early Chrysanthemum yet intro¬ 
duced. Unusual, also, because it retains its effectiveness right up until the season ends. Grouped in 
the rock garden or hardy border or used for edging, it will prove the delight of the autumn.”

ety of Great Britain.
