HARDY CARDEN CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
CHRYSANTHEMUM (Kris-an'-the-mum) 
The demand for these beautiful flowers is increasing yearly as more and more people come to realize 
that there are sorts that will surely bloom in even the coldest sections. The following have been care¬ 
fully selected to give early blooms in our rigid climate. 
IRIDESCENT CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
These glorious new flowers are the result of several 
years of intensive breeding, in which the hybridizer has 
succeeded in partially blending the Chrysanthemum with 
Pyrethrum hybridum. The infusion of Pyrethrum blood 
has added an iridescence that is new and fascinating and 
difficult to describe, changing as it does with the differ¬ 
ing 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 ft. 
(See outside back cover color cut.) 
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 2y 2 " across 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. We 
cannot recommend too highly. (See outside back cover 
color cut.)
