height of perfection in form. Plant seldom exceeds eighteen inches 
and is in full flower by September 20th—therefore valuable where 
earliness is important. It is a hardy, easily grown variety, requiring 
no pinching or special handling to produce flowers 4% to 5 inches 
across, or larger if disbudded. Fine also for pot culture. 
NOTE: Occasional plants assume bronzy-yellow tints, but are just as 
attractive. 
A New Type 
*MILKY WAY (seeding 2-38 C.N.)—A magnificent creamy white seed- 
ling bred from the species C. Nipponicum; it has the distinction of 
being the first hybrid from this species parent ever introduced and 
will, we believe, prove the forerunner of a type which will add many 
desirable qualities to the garden "Mum, just as did the Hybrid Korean 
type, which we introduced some years ago. MILKY WAY is out- 
standing among all white kinds—first, for the remarkable intensity 
of its milky white color in the open flower; again, for its rich dark 
green foliage which contrasts so effectively with the soft lemon tints 
of the opening flower, creating an effect distinctly different from that 
of any other white variety. Blossoms are of the semi-double informal 
type, with broad overlapping petals and are carried in branchy sprays 
of 5 to 6. Unusually hardy as a plant, the open flower is remarkably 
frost resistant—a valuable trait where early frosts may injure the 
opening flower, particularly on white kinds. A strong, vigorous plant 
2% to 3 feet in height, flowering in late September. 

HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Except in the most Northern part of our territory, 
we wish to call to your attention the value of HARDY 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS. The earlier and more dwarf 
varieties give an abundance of flowers of a good color 
range. These are followed by the vivid colorings of 
the Korean Hybrids originated by Bristol Nurseries. 
These superb varieties will flower from September 
lst to October 20th, depending upon variety. When 
flowers are scarce these Mums brighten up the garden 
as nothing else can brighten it at that time of year. 
In the colder areas and in sections exposed to frost 
these plants will often start blooming after having 
been frosted. All in all, there is nothing to equal the 
Bristol Koreans for Fall flowers. To the Florist, even 
in areas where early frosts occur, we unhesitatingly 
recommend Korean Mums as a plant to be grown in 
frames and sash-houses. This type of Mums as a 
late fall cut flower is enthusiastically welcomed by 
the buying public as it is impossible to duplicate the 
Korean colors in the greenhouse varieties. We have 
Florist customers who find these Koreans a welcome 
addition to their list of Mums. Write us for a list of 
varieties best adapted for cut flower use. Also write 
for our color plate of Korean Mums. Also remember 
that all Koreans are not Bristol’s. Ask for the varie- 
ties originated by Bristol Nurseries. There is a rea- 
son. See list of varieties and prices on page 60. Be 
sure to visit Bristol Nurseries in September and Octo- 
ber to see these Chrysanthemums in flower.
