THREE GLORIOUS NEW 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
1941 Introductions 
(See Back Cover) 
Originated by the introducers of the famous 
Hybrid Korean Chrysanthemums, the fol¬ 
lowing three are said, by people who have 
been fortunate enough to see them, to be the 
triumph of the originators. As one observer 
said, “They are tops.” 
Mrs. Pierre S. Dupont. 2J^ ft. Early 
October. The irridescent quality of this 
plant makes it difficult to describe. The 
large, full, perfectly formed flowers have a 
dominant shade of soft peach, tinted with 
rosy-salmon and fawn and are overcast 
with an indescribably luminous sheen. 
75c. each; 3 for $2.00 
Eugene A. Wander. 1}4 ft. September 20th. 
Beautiful, glistening golden-yellow flowers 
4J^ to 5 inches across are borne on sturdy 
stems which are almost obscured by the 
branching clusters of flowers. Hardy and 
easily grown, and if properly disbudded, 
will undoubtedly produce flowers of one 
and one-half times the normal size. 
75c. each; 3 for $2.00 
Milky Way. 3 ft. Late September. A mag¬ 
nificent creamy-white variety which is 
outstanding among all the white Mums. 
The blossoms are semi-double and are 
carried on branchy sprays. They are re¬ 
markable for their milky-white color which 
contrasts beautifully with the dark green 
foliage. 50c. each; 3 for $1.25.

COLE’S NEW CACTIMUM 
Color illustration on page 26. 
A distinct variation from the old-type hardy 
Chrysanthemums, with mammoth symmetrical 
blossoms, having long, quilled, petals resembling 
the cactus dahlia. Well-grown plants produce 
flowers as large and as beautiful as greenhouse 
“Mums,” measuring 5 inches or more across. Per¬ 
fectly hardy and as cut-flowers are unsurpassed, 
for they have been known to last for as long as 
three weeks in water in a warm office. 
Sun Gold. One cannot say too much regarding 
the beauty of this glorious “Mum.” Large, com¬ 
pact, pure golden yellow flowers with petals 
slightly quilled at the ends, are borne on long 
stems. We believe this to be the most beautiful 
hardy “Mum” ever offered to the public.
