NEW BUCKINGHAM—Introduced as an improved Mrs. Buckingham, 
and with me it certainly justified all claims. It is a single of deep 
pink shade, and the habit of growth is much more vigorous than the 
old Mrs .Buckingham. Also with me it is more prolific. Should 
not be disbudded—or at least only partially so. Matures here around 
Oct. 30. 
META BERGEN—This single is brilliant Pompeian red that carries sev¬ 
eral rows of petals around the center. It is a splendid keeper; In 
fact will ship. Blooms first week in November. 
ME^jBA—Probably the most outstanding large single yet introduced. 
Has a brilliant tangerine-red color that is most unusual. May be 
disbudded and grown to large size. Also good for pot plants. Has 
been long a favorite. Matures November 1st. 
TAGOYA—A very brilliant red single, which may or may not be dis¬ 
budded. Healthy grower, but rather dwarf and therefore suitable 
for pot culture. Matures Nov. 5th to 10th. 
VALENCIA—A beautiful shade of Valencia pink without any trace of 
magenta—one of the loveliest singles yet introduced. Flowers meas¬ 
uring 4 inches may be had by November 15th. May be partially 
disbudded. 
ANNA NANZIG—A dark pink sport of the well-known variety Godfrey, 
which is too well known to need further description. Grows tall 
and matures its blooms around November 25th.

KOREAN HYBRIDS 
This class is the latest advance in the chrysanthemum field, and ow¬ 
ing to their new color combinatipns, combined with hardiness, they 
should prove great favorites over the central United States. The past 
year I tried out a number of the newer varieties and will admit they are 
all their originators claim for them—and this is some admission for 
one long “sold’’ on the big types. 
The following 4 varieties are absolutely the latest thing in Koreans, 
being the 1939 introductions of the originators of this now famous strain. 
I grew them last year and liked them very much. You may have what 
plants I can spare this year at 20 cents each, or $2.00 per dozen, your 
selection any way you wish. I paid 75 cents each for rooted cuttings 
last year, so 20 cents for a well-grown plant is very cheap. I predict 
you will like them even as I did. 
LAVENDER LADY—True lavender is rare in chrysanthemums, but this 
is a real silvery lavender that is outstanding. The flowers are fully 
double, are 3 inches across when partially disbudded and tliey are 
perfectly spaced on the branching sprays. It is a good, vigorous 
grower and appears to be unusually hardy. In full bloom first few 
days of October. 
ROSE GLOW—4 raspberry-rose color which later shades to an opales¬ 
cent rose. It’s semi-double flowers are 2 inches in diameter on 
slender, graceful branching sprays, and have a faint cinnamon scent. 
The plant attains a height ^ 1^/4 to 2 feet and the leaves are de¬ 
cidedly “heart” shaped. For mass effect in the garden it could 
hardly be surpassed. In full bloo)?! by Oct, 1st.
