Dahlia-Flowered Chrysanthemum 
A new race of Chrysanthemum developed from the ‘‘Azaleamum’’ or 
“Cushion Mum.’’ It inherited its habit of growth from the parent but 
the shape and color of the flowers is entirely different and belongs only 
to itself. The flower resembles a Cactus Dahlia in form which, combined 
with its wine-red color, makes it the most unique development in years. 
Coming into bloom very early in the season and continuing until frost, 
it guarantees you many weeks of pleasure. Plants that will bloom this 
season.

CUSHION or 
Ameliamums 
These most popular Mums form 
low mounds, comparable in shape to 
an inverted bushel basket. One 
fully developed plant will produce 
hundreds of flowers, so many open 
at one time that the foliage is al- 
most entirely covered. Although 
this type of Chrysanthemum is sold 
under many names, the term 
“‘Cushion’’ seems to be the most 
accepted and it describes the plant 
perfectly. You are sure to enjoy 
these varieties from mid-August un- 
til late October.
