INTRODUCTIONS FOR 1939 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
NEW VARIETIES 
On this and following pages you will find the season’s approved novelties. They are all from well 
known dependable raisers. We have personally acquainted ourselves with all these varieties; and if 
given a chance, they will be found a distinct advance in American Chrysanthemums. 
NOVELTY SECTION 
BRONZE LODE (Sport). Identical in every respect to the parent, except color. Matures at the same time 
—October 1st. 
COL. F. M. ALGER. A large flowered standard variety producing closely incurved blooms about 7 in. 
across. Color clear Pernet yellow the inside petals shading to golden yellow. A clean vigorous grower 
attaining a height of about 5 feet. Excellent stem and foliage. Produces a high percentage of perfect 
blooms from almost any bud but we recommend second crown or terminal buds taken the first part of 
September. The variety matures November 5th to 10th and does not shatter. Because of its easy growing 
habit and its high percentage of good blcoms which it produces this variety will become a favorite with 
growers desiring a good early mid-season yellow. 
DECEMBER BEAUTY, Imp. A pure white sport from December Beauty. We believe this variety will 
be well received by those who are interested in late mums. It combines the qualities of lateness, large size, 
good stem, and purity of color. 
PURITAN. Snow white. Its glistening white appearance suggested the name. We consider PURITAN 
one of the most outstanding among the early flowering varieties. A free grower—Maturing October 15. 
Reflexing bloom about 6 inches across. 
MRS. ANDREW WILSON. (Pompom Anemone) A most outstanding new type of Pompom Anemone. 
Its well branched individual flowers measuring 2 inches across. The centre pompom of golden yellow is 
supported by guard petals of a lovely shade of Orchid Pink. 
Judging from the tremendous interest shown in this new Chrysanthemum at the recent Flower Shows, 
we believe it will become very popular for table decoration and "pot plants.” Matures October 30th. 
FREIDA (Anemone). A lovely shade of Orchid Pink with Golden Yellow centre. The Individual flowers 
measure 4 to 5 inches across. Useful for sprays and when disbudded, its well formed flowers are very 
much admired. 
HOPE ENGLE. Late, rich bronze small anemone. Extremely productive with excellent growing habit. 
Matures about November 25 and will keep until Christmas. Medium height. Good only when grown 
as natural sprays. This should prove a much-needed late variety. 
CALVACADE. A late flowering pompon which poses',es nearly every good characteristic sought by chrysan¬ 
themum growers. Individual blooms measuring about 2l/ 2 inches across are freely produced on rigid and 
well-formed sprays. The full rounded flowers possess an unusual crisp substance. The variety grows and 
breaks freely giving excellent production of many good-sized and saleable sprays. It attains a height of 
from 38 to 42 inches with small but thick and leathery foliage to the bottom of the plant, making an ideal 
variety for pot culture as well as for cutting. The color of Calvacade is a bright Mandarin red with each 
cupped petal showing a golden bronze reverse, the whole making a pleasing combination. Matures from 
December 10th to 15th or in our locality about three weeks later than the popular variety cordova. 
CATHERINE (Pompon) A fine bronze commercial pompon. Blooms November 20th, to Thanksgiving. 
Can be had in December under electric light treatment. Right color for this time of year, like Legal Tender.
