CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
New Varieties for 1939 
The following are the originators' descriptions 
LARGE FLOWERING 
ALBATROSS. A large, pure white incurved to follow Ambassador, 
blooming October 25. Flower is large in size and full to the 
center. Grows to 5 feet from June planting and has perfect stem 
and foliage. Fine for shading and blooms just ahead of Ambassa¬ 
dor when shaded, although it follows that variety when grown 
normally. Take terminal bud. Won C. S. A. medal for best seed¬ 
ling variety in the commercial section at Hartford, November, 
1936. $5.00 per doz.; $7.50 for 25; $12.50 for 50. 
$20.00 per 100; $150.00 per 1000 
BLAZING GOLD. An intense golden yellow, perhaps the most intense 
of all yellows. Bloom is of good size and globular in form. Stem 
and foliage are perfect, growing 5 feet from June planting. Intro¬ 
ducer shades this variety for September cutting and grows it 
normally for blooming in late October. Take terminal bud. 
$5.00 per doz.; $7.50 for 25; $12.50 for 50; 
$20.00 per 100; $150.00 per 1000. 
COL. F. M. ALGER. A large-flowered standard variety producing 
closely incurved blooms about 7 inches across. Color clear Pernet- 
yellow, the inside petals shading to golden yellow. A clean, vigor¬ 
ous grower attaining a height of about 5 feet. Excellent stem 
and foliage. Produces a high percentage of perfect blooms from 
almost any bud, but we recommend second crown or terminal 
buds taken the first part of September. The variety matures 
Nov. 5th to 10th, and does not shatter. Because of its easy 
growing habit and its high percentage of good blooms which it 
produces this variety will become a favorite with growers desiring 
a good early midseason yellow. 
$2.50 per 10; $15.00 per 100; $125.00 per 1000 
DECEMBER BEAUTY, IMP. A pure white sport from December Beauty. 
We believe this variety will be well received by those who are 
interested in late 'mums. It combines the qualities of lateness, 
large size, good stem, and purity of color. 
$2.50 per 10; $15.00 per 100; $125.00 per 1000 
HARVEST MOON. A large exhibition bright yellow. Can also be 
grown for commercial purposes. Blooms run 10 inches in diameter 
without special care. Introducer grows this variety both normally 
and under shade. Blooms normally in late October. Take last 
crown or terminal bud. Grows 4 feet from June planting and stem 
is rigid enough to hold the bloom erect. A wonderful variety in 
that it produces such enormous size so early in the season. 
$1.00 each; $10.00 per dozen.
