HARDY GARDEN CHRYSANTHEMUMS—Continued 
Small Aster-Flowered and 
Pompon Chrysanthemums 
Under ordinary culture and without disbudding 
these will produce flowers under two inches in di- 
ameter. Their small size does not in any way detract 
from their effectiveness in the garden, and the dainty 
flower clusters are particularly useful for table and 
room decoration. 
Cheerfulness. Makes large plants of excellent form, 
covered with hundreds of small double yellow 
buttons. 
Ethel. Superb bronze button. 
Irene. Compact dwarf plant with an abundance of 
small white button-shaped flowers. 
Jean Treadway. Popular small pink Aster-flowered. 
Ruth. Very strong wine-colored small Aster. 
Cushion Type (Azaleamum) 
The well-deserved popularity of this type of dwarf 
compact growers has led us to prepare good stocks. 
We highly recommend the following varieties which 
have proved outstanding in our tests: 
Amelia. (Pink Cushion). Very compact and early. 
Free-flowering light rose. Should be kept pruned 
back until early August for best results. 
King Cushion. Identical with Amelia excepting that 
the flowers are deep bronzy salmon with a suf- 
fusion of rose. 
Pigmy Gold. A very distinct dwarf double yellow 
Korean Pompon growing not over 15 inches tall 
and producing a great profusion of bright yellow 
flowers during September and October. A great 
acquisition and wonderfully appropriate compan- 
ion to the Cushion varieties. 
Queen Cushion. The same type as Amelia and King 
Cushion but producing pure white flowers. 
White Gull. This variety is distinctly of the Cushion 
type in growth but the flowers, which are pure 
white are more of a Pompon shape. 
Extra Early Double, Large-Flowered 
While all the varieties offered by us are early flow- 
ering, the following bloom from one to two weeks 
earlier than the general collection. 
Abundance. A wonderful new salmon-red with gold- 
en reverse. Exceptionally free-flowering, compact 
plant. 
Aglow. Double flowers of deep bright orange color. 
Very brilliant. 
Aladdin. Sensational early bronze. Because of its 
tendency to bloom during the summer when 
Chrysanthemums cannot produce good flowers 
due to the heat, we advise keeping the plant 
pruned back until early August. 
Carrie. A most satisfactory deep canary-yellow. 
Glorietta. Very double ball-shaped light pink. Dwarf 
and free. 
La Somme. Very dependable early mauve-pink. 
Chrysanthemum Rubellum 
Clara Curtis 
Chrysanthemum rebellum was originally introduced 
in a pale pink form as Chrysoboltonia pulcherrima. 
Later it was offered as Chrysanthemum erubescens 
and finally as rubellum. It attained quite a bit of 
popularity as a border plant blooming throughout 
September. It is now, however, entirely superseded 
by the new variety Clara Curtis which has consider- 
ably more merit. This new variety has very pretty 
lilac-pink flowers borne on compact plants devoid 
of the straggly growth of rebellum. We highly recom- 
mend Clara Curtis as a September blooming subject 
for the garden. 
Double Flowered Korean Hybrids 
Much progress has been made in the last few years 
in the production of double forms of the popular 
Korean Hybrids. We offer a choice collection below. 
Caliph. Deep oxblood-red with a rich velvety sheen. 
Very showy and greatly admired. 
King Midas. A very strong, early, free-flowering 
double with light yellow flowers sometimes lightly 
blended with bronze. 
Mandarin. Coral, salmon, and bronze blended to 
make a very attractive flower. The plant is com- 
pact but the blooms are carried on stiff wiry stems. 
Saladin. Oriental-red shading to coral-red with cop- 
pery tones on reverse of petals. Semi-double. 
Sequoia. Elegant, good sized, double blooms of a 
mellow amber color. 
Symphony. Mauve-rose overcast with soft coppery 
tints giving the flowers an unusually different and 
attractive appearance. Of strong healthy growth. 
Sixteen Extra-Early Flowering Korean Hybrids 
These sixteen extra-early flowering Korean Hybrids, 
introduced in 1936 and 1937 have won universal ac- 
claim. They make graceful pre-flowering plants 
blooming ten days to two weeks earlier than varie- 
ties previously introduced. 
Auburn. Compact plants producing an abundance 
of single flowers, which open a coppery-red and 
change with age to salmon-flesh. 
Fortuna. Very vigorous plants of medium height 
covered with unique curly-petaled oxblood-red 
single flowers, 3 to 4 inches in diameter. 
Niobe. A vigorous plant of dwarf compact habit. 
Single clear glistening white flowers with yellow 
discs covering the plant completely. 
Sappho. Compact dwarf plant with an abundance of 
single yellow flowers. 
Stellaris. Large single Buttercup-yellow blooms. 
Graceful and vigorous. 
Vesta. A plant of medium height and great vigor, 
literally covered with single deep golden-orange 
flowers over 24% inches in diameter.
