Early Flowering Hardy Chrysanthemum 
SEPTEMBER JEWELS 
A RECENT NOVELTY 
1907 The most important advance made in Chrys- 
anthemums since the introduction of the Korean 
Hybrids. They are of the utmost interest to all 
gardeners who delight in growing hardy Chrysan- 
themums from seed. 
September Jewels are hybrids of Rubellum and 
exhibit this parent’s early blooming characteristic 
and winter hardiness. The plants start blooming 
early in September from seed sown in early spring 
and continue to give a magnificent display unti 
the middle of October. They develop into well- 
rounded plants from 1 to 2 feet tall simply cov- 
ered with masses of blooms which are resistant 
to light frost. 
The large Daisy-like flowers show a distinct ten- 
dency toward a double row of ray petals. They 
measure from 2 to 3 inches in diameter and are as 
desirable for cutting as for garden display. 
The range of colors is indescribably beautiful, 
tending toward the more delicate tones, yet with 
sufficient of the more rugged shades to give a 
rich color baloncesa52 2 ee 
Popular and Colorful Late Flowering 
’ Hardy Chrysanthemums 
1905 Korean Hybrids. Ours is the same 
strain of seed from which many of the 
popular named varieties of Korean Chrys- 
anthemums have originated. These form 
bushy plants, flowering in the late fall. 
The flowers are single, in a great range of 
color. Seed sown indoors in the early 
spring produces blooms in the fall. 
Mixed Colors Pkt., 25¢ 

There are few flowers that lend themselves so 
admirably for flower arrangements, as the single 
forms of Chrysanthemums. At the 1941 Fall Show 
of the New York Horticultural Society, all of the 
prize-winning table arrangements were made with 
Single Chrysanthemums.
