SPOON CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
RECENT INTRODUCTIONS 
The Spoon Chrysanthemums develop into symmet- 
tical rounded bushes about two feet high and two 
feet across, and in the latter part of October are cov- 
ered completely by the dainty flowers which aver- 
age two and one-half inches across. They are per- 
fectly hardy and add much to the beauty of the Rock 
Garden or perennial border during the Autumn 
months. The flowers are produced on straight wiry 
stems, thereby making them very desirable for cut- 
ting. They are charming for table decorations, excel- 
lent for pot culture. 
We offer the following varieties. 
SILVER SPOON. Semi-double, pure white petals tu- 
bular nearly full length giving the flower a spidery 
appearance. 
GOLDEN SPOON. Semi-double round perfect flow- 
ers. Bright apricot yellow. Compact and very tree. 
ORCHID SPOON. Almost double, 2¥2 to 3 inches. 
Very dainty regularly formed flowers freely pro- 
duced in graceful masses. Color a very light pink- 
ish lilac. 
JASPER SPOON. 2 to 2% inches in diameter, nearly 
double. Yellow buff tubes and reverse of petals. 
Face of the spoons is a light Jasper red. Very free, 
unique and attractive. 
ROSE SPOON. 3 inches in diameter. Unique form. 
The tubes rise upward from the center forming a 
bowl shaped flower. The long flattened spoons at 
the ends of the tubes are reflexed. Unusually dis- 
tinct. Color reddish violet.

LARGE FLOWERING 
ANTARTIC. A pure white, round-flowered variety of 
good commercial size and excellent substance. 
Blooms November 20th and later when the flux of 
the mid-season varieties have passed. Grows 5 
feet. Take terminal bud. 
BRONZE KIDDER. A bright and pleasing bronze 
sport of the variety Mrs. H. E. Kidder. The inside 
of the petal is a bright bronze with slight shadings 
of Chinese-red, while the reverse is an even shade 
of buff, making a desirable incurved early bronze 
of good substance. Matures October 25th from 
buds selected August 25th 
COMET. This variety will make a place for itself dur- 
ing mid-October, when good Mums are always in 
demand. The color is an intense golden yellow. 
Grows to 4 feet from June planting and needs only 
moderate support. Fine stems and foliage. Take 
terminal bud. Blooms October 15th. Also one of 
the best for shading. 
FRIGIDA. There is a demand for better varieties 
blooming late. Frigida is a large bloom with good 
stem and foliage yielding practically 100% perfect 
blooms with fine texture. Grows 4 to 5 feet from 
June planting. Take terminal bud. 
INDIANAPOLIS BRONZE. Growers who bought In- 
dianapolis Pink will welcome this bronze sport. The 
color is a fine shade of bronze which does not fade 
as the bloom develops. Its blooming date follows 
that of Detroit News which makes it possible to 
have that same grade of bronze into late Novem- 
ber. It is also one of the very best for shading. 
Take terminal bud. Like its parent it grows to 5 
feet from June planting. 
METEORE. Large round bloom on good stem with 
good foliage. We recommend this variety as a 
late yellow to bloom during mid-December. Holds 
well on the plant. Take terminal bud. 
ROSABELLA. A splendid variety to precede Orchid 
Queen, its blooming date being the last week in 
October and holding into early November. The 
color is a good shade of pink which holds unusu- 
ally well. The growth is very rigid and the foliage 
is good. Grows to 5 feet from June planting. Take 
terminal bud. 
ROSEUM. Large incurved bloom with good stem and 
foliage. Grows 5 feet from June planting. The color 
is a bright deep pink which does not fade with 
age. Won the C. 8. A. silver medal in 1939. Take 
terminal bud. 
SHANGRI-LA. This is a lovely clear light pink, reflex- 
ing petal, which has in its color every desirable 
attribute. We believe this will become very popu- 
lar as it is a very late variety maturing at Thanks- 
giving and later. Select bud, September 20th, 
height 4 feet.
