CHOICE CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Chrysanthemum erubescens. 2 ft. We imported this delightful Chinese 
species from England. It has been highly praised by horticultural authori¬ 
ties as an outstanding introduction for 1939. In its growth and its free 
flowering habit it suggests the early Chrysanthemums and fall asters. 
The soft pink flowers, 2 inches in diameter, are borne in great abundance 
on slender stems. Aug. to Oct. 50 cts. each; $4.50 per 10. 
Caliph. 2 l /2 ft. A unique color in Hardy Chrysanthemums is represented in 
the ox-blood-red of Caliph. The plants are vigorous with attractive foliage. 
Early Oct. 50 cts. each; $4.50 per 10. 
Mandarin. 2 ft. A rich autumn blend of coral, salmon-pink, copper, and orange- 
yellow seems to be evident in this iridescent variety. Early Oct. 50 cts. 
each; $4.50 per 10. 
Pygmy Gold. 15 in. A new, dwarf, Korean Pompon hybrid. The large heads 
of miniature golden yellow blooms burst forth in September and carry on 
for several weeks. Water and cultivate freely. 35 cts. each; $3.00 per 10. 
Saladin. 2 x /i to 3 ft. Here is a large-flowered variety described as Chinese 
red. Early Oct. 50 cts. each; $4.50 per 10. 
Symphony. 23^2 to 3 ft. Warm lavender-rose with coppery tints is the domi¬ 
nant color impression of this hybrid. Early Oct. 50 cts. each; $4.50 per 10. 
CLEMATIS HYBRIDS 
These colorful hybrids are among the most spectacular climbing plants of 
the century. Although they require more attention to establish than do most 
of our garden plants, they are well worth a little extra care. Here are some 
hints: Prepare the soil thoroughly; rich light loam is preferable. Dig in a 
small handful of lime for each plant. Set the crown of the plant 2 to 3 inches 
below the surface of the ground. The roots need the shade provided by tall 
perennials. No cultivation is necessary. 
Duchess of Albany. This is a distinctive trumpet-shaped variety with brilliant 
pink flowers accentuated with brown stamens. July to Sept. $1.50 each. 
Henryi. A pure white hybrid of immense size, it deserves a place in every 
garden where climbing plants are needed. $1.50 each. 
Lawsoniana. The exquisite form of this lavender-blue Clematis is further 
enhanced by the mauve tints which glisten in the sunlight. $1.50 each. 
Daphne Mezereum alba. 3 ft. A rare shrub, this white variety of the fra¬ 
grant February Daphne is an important contribution to New England 
gardens. It blooms in March. Scillas, snowdrops, and crocuses planted 
near this dainty shrub will provide a delightful combination for the early 
spring garden. Strong plants, 2J^ to 3 ft., $5.00 each. 
Delphinium, Pacific Strain, Clear White. 4 to 5 ft. Delphiniums have long 
been considered the aristocrats of the perennial border. One of the newest 
additions to the great group of hybrids is a remarkable strain of clear white 
hybrids. Planted in masses with the lavender, light blue, and dark blue 
hybrids this new white form lends greater variety to massed effects and 
helps to accentuate the darker colors. June to Sept. $1.00 each; $9.00 per 10. 
Delphinium, Pink Sensation. 3 to 4 ft. An enterprising Dutch nurseryman 
has developed a truly pink Delphinium. The rose-pink flowers are arranged 
loosely on the spike, like the Belladonna type. Plants are vigorous in their 
growth and are resistant to mildew. Here is an outstanding addition to the 
Delphinium group. Keep the seed-pods cut off and enjoy a second crop of 
bloom. June to Sept. $1.25 each. 
Dianthus, Dazzler. 1 ft. The large, double, carnation-type blooms of bright 
red are delightfully fragrant. Usually the finest flowers develop in cool 
weather. June to Sept. 50 cts. each; $4.50 per 10.
