Hardy Chrysanthemums 
9 Beautiful Varieties, Absolutely Dependable 
AD1R0NDA A small, compact, reddish bronze. Very free-flowering. An excellent 
pompon. Early October. 
ALADDIN. A pleasing shade of yellow-bronze. Flowers about two weeks earlier than 
Adironda. 
AMELIA (The Azalea-Flowered Chrysanthemum). This wonderful new hardy outdoor 
Chrysanthemum at the 1933 and 1934 Century of Progress World’s Fair created a 
great deal of interest. The plant is dwarf and spreading in growth and very hardy. 
When well established a single plant has been known to carry 1500 blooms at one 
time open in full flower. It begins to bloom in this latitude in September and from 
then on until heavy frost, is covered with beautiful pink blossoms. It seems that this 
flower is sold under many different names, but the true name is Amelia, or Pink 
Cushion. 
EARLY BRONZE. Orange-bronze ol Button type. In full bloom about September 20, and 
remains in fine condition until severe frost. Height, 20 inches. Flowers, 1 Y% inches. 
LORELEI. A very productive yellow which we consider an improvement on Wolverine, 
both in length of stem and freedom of bloom. Blooms Sept. 10; 3 inches in diameter. 
We dropped Wolverine from our list, since Lorelei is so much better. 
SEPTEMBER QUEEN WHITE. This variety produces a profusion of pure white flowers 
3 inches in diameter with incurved petals. Begins flowering late in August. Earlier 
than Tasiva. 
TASIVA. Very free-flowering pure snow-white flowers with straight petals. Height, 
2 feet. Later than September Queen White. 
THALIA. New 1938. Among the new ones of last year this variety impressed us very 
much. The plant is compact, rather dwarf, very bushy, and literally covered with 
flowers of a bright orange shade. 
WHITE NORMANDIE. One of the earliest and best of the creamy whites. A good- 
size, very rich, attractive flower. Season, September 10th. 
Throughout the northwest we need the very hardiest chrysanthemums that will 
blossom before hard freezing weather comes. The varieties we offer flower, with 
us, from the latter part of August to the middle of October. 
Often our plants are just giving us their best blossoms when an early freeze 
comes. Just before we expect such a freeze, we pot many of these plants and 
bring them inside and enjoy their beauty for two or more weeks. This blooming 
plant that cost you around 25c is now worth two or three dollars if purchased 
from a greenhouse. These same plants may be kept in a cool place all winter and 
reset in the garden in the spring. 
If plants are left in the garden during the winter months, they should be well 
covered with coarse litter. 
Our list is a choice from many kinds we test out each year. They are the 
earliest and best for our northern customers. The further south one lives, the 
longer and surer the results. 
Many new varieties of these hardy ’mums seem to be offered each year to the 
buying public. We purchase many of these and try them out but find only a few 
that are really good.

These are the sensational new hardy chrysanthemums that carry the hardy blood of the Korean chrysan¬ 
themum that makes of them the hardiest chrysanthemums in the world. When they first came out there 
was only the single type but gradually doubles have been evolved until we now have some wonderful double 
Koreans. We have eliminated the older Koreans as better new ones have appeared and our list is now right 
up to date with those varieties which we have chosen as the best.
