Indian Chief 
INDIAN CHIEF (iJe Petris). One of the most outstanding 
large flowered Mums ever introduced, ideal in most every 
way. The high rounded blooms averaging 7" or more in diam¬ 
eter are closely incurved and possess the crisp substance and 
lasting qualities of the well know n Detroit News. The color is a 
deep reddish bronze with a golden bulf reverse and the flowers 
retain this color throughout the season. A strong and vigorous 
grower with excellent foliage and a heavy stem, attaining a 
height of about a ft. from March propagation. Second crown 
or terminal buds reserved September .5th and later produce 
fully double blooms from November 5th to 10th, Early 
buds should not be taken. Winner of A. C. S. silver medal for 
the best large flowered seedling at Hartford in 1936. We predict 
Indian Chief will become the standard and most popular mid¬ 
season bronze within a short time.
