IRIDESCENT CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
These glorious new flowers were introduced in 1938 and 
are the result of several years of intensive breeding, in 
which the hybridizer has succeeded in partially blending 
the Chrysanthemum with Pyrethrum hybridum. The in¬ 
fusion of Pyrethrum blood has added an iridescence that 
is new and fascinating and difficult to describe, chang¬ 
ing as it does with the differing light values of an 
autumn day. Hardy, easily grown and perfectly exquisite. 
Caliph —This wonderful new introduction is the deepest 
and richest red to date. For sheer intensity of color it 
cannot be equaled. The color is a deep oxblood red with 
a velvety sheen so prominent that it stands out con¬ 
spicuously among all others. Very double. Remarkably 
free flowering on lusty, vigorous, sturdy plants. 2 y 2 '. 
Mandarin —Coral, salmon, copper and golden bronze de¬ 
lightfully blended and all overlaid with an iridescent 
glow, changing with the degree of light so that the color 
never seems quite the same. Perfectly formed double 
flowers 2across in glorious profusion on compact 
2' plants. 
Symphony —A large fully double flower of such exquisite 
coloring as to defy description. The introducer says: 
“Mauve-rose overcast soft coppery rose, with the sheen 
of damask silk.” The flowers are fully 3" across, beau¬ 
tifully formed and carried on heavy, sturdy stems. This 
was the most admired sort that we grew last season and 
we cannot recommend it too highly.
