Chrysanthemums, the Fortunate Aftermath of the Season 
Garden Chrysanthemums 
The plants are hardy and come into bloom several weeks ahead of killing frost 
Novelty Korean Hybrids for 1939 
The Korean Hybrids which took the Chrysanthemum world by 
storm a few years ago are now the backbone of every garden planting 
of Chrysanthemums. We offer two new Koreans this year, both so 
different from existing varieties that everyone will want them. 
LAVENDER LADY. Beautiful beyond compare is this exquisite 
flower which measures 3 24 inches across and is the clearest of 
pure lavender when first opening but later takes on a silvery tint 
which, if anything, enhances its beauty. It is perfect in form and 
blooms in loose, airy sprays. 2 24 ft. October 8. $2.50 for 3; 
$9 per doz. 
PALE MOON. Densely branched sprays of fluffy, sulphur-yellow 
blooms completely cover the compact plant. Its soft, dainty color¬ 
ing harmonizes splendidly with all the other Chrysanthemum 
colors, both in the garden and when cut. The plants are healthy 
and bloom profusely. 2 ft. October 5. $2.50 for 3; $9 per doz. 
The Iridescent Group 
We are pleased to be able to offer our customers the first of this 
new class of Garden Chrysanthemums—Pyrethrum-Chrysanthemum 
Hybrids. A soft glow or iridescence that is entirely new and fascinat¬ 
ing as it changes with the development of the flower, or the differing 
lights of an autumn day. 
SYMPHONY. Mauve-rose, overcast with coppery rose, with the 
sheen of damask silk. The flowers are double, 3 inches across, and 
carried in large sprays on strong stems. 2% to 3 feet. October 10. 
$1.75 for 3; $6.50 per doz. 
MANDARIN. Coral, salmon, copper, and bronzy gold blend in a 
delightful combination. The 224-inch, double flowers of perfect 
form are produced in profusion. Compact plants about 2 feet tall. 
$1.75 for 3; $6.50 per doz. 
CALIPH. Double flowers of rich velvety crimson with a sparkle or 
glow not seen before in a Chrysanthemum. The most attractive 
Chrysanthemum plant we have seen; a real advance in plant-habit 
alone. 224 feet. October 10. $1.75 for 3; $6.50 per doz.
