STRAWBERRY, DELIGHT 
Here is an almost unbelievable novelty— 
delicious Strawberries in one season from seed. 
It does not seem possible but it is true, for they 
have been grown successfully for two years in 
Max Schling’s rockery. There are three colors of 
fruit—red, yellow, and white. The berries are of 
good size and have the delicious flavor and fra¬ 
grance of wild Strawberries. 
These plants have other uses than simply pro¬ 
ducing fruit for the table. Low-growing and 
compact in form, without runners, they bear 
flowers a few weeks from the time the seed is 
sown and berries soon after the bloom, and con¬ 
tinue blooming and bearing fruit right up to 
frost. They make ideal edging plants for the 
border, and just about the finest rockery speci¬ 
mens. A small plant with attractive foliage, 
continuously topped with flowers, and with red, 
yellow or white berries peeping from between 
the leaves, is more than we ever wished for. It 
does well in a semi-shaded position, is perfectly 
winter-hardy, and the plants last for years.

1938 HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUM NOVELTIES 
THE IRIDESCENT GROUP 
We are offering, this season, something altogether different in Chrysanthemums—hybrids of the hardy 
garden Chrysanthemum and the Pyrethrum, Painted Daisy. Although Caliph, Mandarin, and Symphony 
are dominantly Chrysanthemums, the infusion of the Pyrethrum has added a soft glow or indescence that 
is entirely new and fascinating as it changes with the development of the flower or the differing lights of an 
autumn day. These varieties are not only lovely to look at, but they are refined to perfection. You will 
find them beautiful decoratives for the garden and unusually pleasing cut-flowers for the house. The plants 
are free blooming, so that you will have quantities of bloom to cut. 
CALIPH. For sheer intensity of color, this va- borne profusely on erect, wiry stems. 2 feet. October 
riety cannot be equaled. It is ox-blood-red, with a 
rich velvety sheen or glow so prominent that it 
stands out conspicuously among all other Chrysan¬ 
themums of this color. Height, 23/2 feet. In full 
flower October 10. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz. 
MANDARIN. Coral, salmon, copper, and bronzy 
gold blend to a delightful combination. An irides¬ 
cent 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. Per¬ 
fectly formed double flowers, 23/2 inches across, are 
10. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz. 
SYMPHONY. Mauve -rose, overcast soft cop¬ 
pery rose, with the sheen of a 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 im¬ 
possible to describe with accuracy. The flowers are 
large, 3 inches across, double, nicely formed, and 
carried several to a spray or cluster on heavy, 
sturdy stems. 23/2 to 3 feet. October 10. 75 cts. 
each, $7.50 per doz. 
KOREAN HYBRID CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
We are also offering Saladin and Pygmy Gold, th 
the lovely Korean Hybrids we have been offering for 
SALADIN. A startling addition to the single 
varieties, best described as Chinese or Oriental red 
shading to coral-red, with coppery tones showing on 
the petal reverse. The individual blooms, 3 inches 
or more across, have four rays of petals. Excellent 
for cutting. Height, 23/^ to 3 feet. In full flower 
October 10. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz. 
SPECIAL COMBINATION OFFER: One plant each of tl 
3 two latest Korean Hybrids. These are advances on 
the past few years. 
PYGMY GOLD. A distinct dwarf Korean 
Pompon type, producing quantities of miniature 
blossoms slightly over 1 inch across. The color is a 
clear golden yellow remarkable for its brilliance and 
intensity. Commencing to flower in early Septem¬ 
ber, it is easily the most colorful early Chrysanthe¬ 
mum. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz. 
e 5 varieties, $3.25; 3 plants each of the 5 varieties, $9.50 
LIATRIS SCARIOSA ALBA (The New White Blazing Star) 
A magnificent pure white form of the popular Blazing Star. Growing to a height of 3 to 4 feet, the im¬ 
posing spikes are more than half covered with clean, white, button-like blossoms. Planted in groups of 
three, it is easily the most effective white subject in the garden during August and September. Equally 
desirable as a cut-flower. We consider this one of the finest new perennials we have been able to offer our 
customers in a long, long time. Stock limited. 3 for $2.50.
