CHRYSANTHEMUM GOLDEN DREAM 
TWO GLORIOUS NEWCOMERS FOR 1940 
These two aristocratic novelties are the result of several 
crosses between the very hardy Korean sorts and large 
flowered greenhouse varieties. The result is an ex¬ 
tremely hardy frost-resistant hybrid attaining a height of 
fully 5 ft. with very sturdy stems holding great heads of 
huge flowers often as much as 6 inches across. The 
blooming season is unusually long even for hardy Chrys¬ 
anthemums, beginning in early September and lasting 
well into November due to the extreme resistance to 
frost. For border, the cutting garden, or as specimens, 
they are superb and we heartily recommend them to the 
connoiseur. 
Golden Dream —Pure golden yellow. Broad petaled and 
fully double. Fine texture and classic form. 
White Goddess —Glorious pure clean white that glistens 
and sparkles like newly fallen snow. 
75c each; 3 of one kind $1.75 
One each of the two sorts $1.25; 3 for $3.00

CHRYSANTHEMUM PINK PROFUSION 
NEW CHRYSANTHEMUMS FOR 1940 
These new hybrids, being introduced by America’s lead¬ 
ing Chrysanthemum specialists for the first time in 1940 
were sent us for trial last season and we can certainly 
endorse them with the fullest confidence that they will 
please our most exacting customers. Each variety is a 
distinct novelty worthy of a place in any collection, 
whether large or small. 
Acacia —A profusion of small glittering, delightfully fra¬ 
grant yellow blossoms completely cover the plant in late 
September and remain fresh and attractive long after 
other kinds have been destroyed, due to a remarkable 
degree of frost resistance. The blossoms, slightly over 
one inch across, are flat, semi-double, sulphur yellow and 
exceptionally brilliant. Height 2 ft. 
Autumn Lights—Departing from the conventional ’Mum 
type, this latest addition will appeal to those who appre¬ 
ciate autumnal color. Masses of coppery bronze semi¬ 
double blossoms, with a gleaming orange tone which 
illumines the bronze tints, two inches or more across, 
completely cover the compact, branchy plants. It is con¬ 
spicuously different. Healthy, dark green foliage plus 
unusual hardiness derived from Chrysanthemum arc- 
ticum, the parent strain, are among its desirable quali¬ 
ties. Height 18". Late September. 
Gleam O’Gold — Aptly named, this splendid primrose- 
yellow pompon fairly gleams in the autumn sunlight. 
Carrying quantities of substantial double flowers, three 
inches or more across on strong well branched stems. 
Goblin—Unusual is this pompon in that it is actually grace¬ 
ful in its habit of flowering rather than formal as is the 
pompon type. The airy branching habit which character¬ 
izes the plant has in part been captured from its Korean 
ancestor. The blossoms, perfectly formed, two inches 
across are so nicely placed that each flower stands out 
distinctly notwithstanding its free flowering qualities. 
The color is a splendid warm bronze shading to sparkling 
gold in the open flower. Opening in October it seems 
completely indifferent to frost and freezing weather and 
continues to furnish perfect blooms for cutting even 
after the first snows in late November. A real gem. 
Pomponette —Diminutive in habit this charming new plant 
is excellent for the hardy border, rockery or for pot cul¬ 
ture. In full flower by mid-September, it presents a 
striking color combination, shading from warm bronze 
in the bud stage to clear primrose yellow when fully 
open. The bud and flower formation is so perfect that 
further improvement seems impossible. Not over 12" in 
height the compact well-rounded plant requires no pinch¬ 
ing, staking or disbudding.
