CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
ODD FORMED VARIETIES 
This type in most instances is unsatisfactory for general commercial use. 
The reason is the petals are so long and fragile that they cannot, without 
injury, be shipped and handled as most Chrysanthemums are. To those who 
arrange their own products they are quite serviceable for the grace and 
beauty they impart. 
Standard Varieties 
Most of the varieties in this section originated in Japan where they are con¬ 
sidered the most beautiful of the entire Chrysanthemum family. They are indeed 
very unique with their feathery and thread-like petals. 
DAIKOKU—Long, narrow, white petals which are decidedly hooked up or in¬ 
curved at the outer extremities. 
MIGNONNETTE—Rather curly fine petals resembling a thistle bloom in 
form. Color bright yellow. 
MISS GENA HARWOOD'—Another sport from Rayonnante. Color rosy 
mauve. 
PEGGY ANN HOOVER—Long tubular petals .similar to Pride of Tokyo. 
Color a delicate shade of lavender. Size when disbudded 9 inches or more. From 
U. S. Department of Agriculture. 
PRIDE OF TOKYO—(Introduced by us 1931). 
From the fact that this variety is a protege of the 
Japanese variety Tachibana and inasmuch as most of 
this type originated in Japan we have named this 
novelty after one of the important Japanese cities. 
In structure it is composed of long tubular petals 
most of which are hooked up or spoon like at the 
extreme tips. The color is a very delicate creamy 
pink. Not fully matured by November 20. Will pro¬ 
duce four to five flowers per plant like the accom¬ 
panying illustration which presents flowers whose 
extreme diameter is 11^4 inches. The stem is more 
rigid than that of many of this class. 
RAYONNANTE—Long, cordlike petals, pale rose-pink. Beautiful in color.

TACHIBANA—Very bright yellow with fine threadlike petals.
