21 HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUM * 
OLD ORCHARD GLORIES 
We have gathered seeds from the finer varieties of Hardy 
Chrysanthemums as they grow at our Old Orchard Nursery, 
and put them together in one great pleasure-blend. The gay 
and enduring Korean Hybrids are here, in all the luminous 
and richly radiant color-tones for which they are famed. 
And, too, there are seeds from the better and hardier of the 
many gorgeous named Indicum Hybrids, unsurpassed in 
color inclusiveness, and full-petaled often to near complete 
doubleness. Pink delights are here, strawberry, coral, peach, 
old rose, carmine approaches, apricot, primrose with bronze 
suffusion, copper tones, maroon, mulberry, velvety amaranth, 
with yellows light to dark, buff to gold, bronze shadings, 
autumn ruddiness. Many will have contrasting zonings, or. 
halos, others will carry a different color or shade in reverse. 
And there will be unusualities, Chrysanthemums with high 
“‘Anemone”’ centers, with spoon-petals, or otherwise pleas- 
ingly but fantastically formed. Included are even the de- 
lightful Azaleamums, the yaried Cushion Chrysanthemums 
that begin their flowering in summer. Seeds have been 
saved only from kinds that start their blooming early, and 
that also winter without protection at Philadelphia; most 
of them should live through without special care very 
much further north, and anyway, if you sow them early, 
you ought to get a good season of flowering the first year. 
Sow the seeds outside in latest autumn, or in very early 
spring while the soil is still cool. We don’t know any better 
garden fun, at least in the surprise way, than watching a 
group of these Chrysanthemum seedlings come into bloom 
the first time; and remember, you don’t have to wait very 
much longer than you would for some annual flowers, 
either. Pkt. 20c; 1/s2 oz. 85c. (Seeds of the KOREAN 
HYBRIDS MIXED can be supplied separately at same rate.)
