CHRYSANTHEMUM, GOLDEN DREAM 
TWO GLORIOUS NEWCOMERS OF 1940 
These two aristocratic novelties are the result of several 
crosses between the very hardy Korean sorts and large 
flowered greenhouse varieties. The result is an ex- 
tremely hardy frost-resistant hybrid attaining a height of 
fully 5 ft. with very sturdy stems holding great heads of 
huge flowers often as much as 6 inches across. The 
blooming season is unusually long even for hardy Chrys- 
anthemums, beginning in early September and lasting 
well into November due to the extreme resistance to 
frost. For border, the cutting garden, or as specimens, 
they are superb and we heartily recommend them to the 
connoiseur. 
Golden Dream—Pure golden yellow. Broad petaled and 
fully double. Fine texture and classic form. 
White Goddess—Glorious pure clean white that glistens 
and sparkles like newly fallen snow. 
75c each; 3 of one kind $1.75 
One each of the two sorts $1.25; 3 for $3.00 
IRIDESCENT CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
These glorious new flowers are the result of several 
years of intensive breeding, in which the hybridizer has 
succeeded in partially blending the Chrysanthemum with 
Pyrethrum hybridum. The infusion of Pyrethrum blood 
has added an iridescence that is new and fascinating and 
difficult to describe, changing as it does with the differ- 
ing light values of an autumn day. Hardy, easily grown 
and perfectly exquisite. (See color cut in center section.) 
Caliph—This wonderful new introduction is the deepest 
and richest red to date. For sheer intensity of color it 
cannot be equaled. The color is a deep oxblood red with 
a velvety sheen so prominent that it stands out con- 
spicuously among all others. Very double. Remarkably 
free flowering on lusty, vigorous, sturdy plants. 2% ft. 
(See color cut in center color section.) 
Mandarin—Coral, salmon, copper and golden bronze de- 
lightfully blended and all overlaid with an iridescent 
glow, changing with the degree of light so that the color 
never seems quite the same. Perfectly formed double 
flowers 2%4” across in glorious profusion on compact 
2’ plants. (See color cut in center section.) 
Symphony—A large fully double flower of such exquisite 
coloring as to defy description. The introducer says: 
“Mauve-rose overcast soft coppery rose, with the sheen 
of damask silk.” The flowers are fully 3” across, beau- 
tifully formed and carried on heavy, sturdy stems. We 
cannot recommend too highly. (See color cut in center 
section.) 
25c each; 3 of one kind 65c; doz. of one kind $2.25 
One each of the 3 sorts, 70c 

CHRYSANTHEMUM, NANCY COPELAND 
KOREAN HYBRID CHRYSANTHEMUMS— 
September Flowering 
This new race of hardy chrysanthemums is especially 
welcome in the colder regions because of their early 
blooming character and extreme hardiness. They are 
wonderfully profuse bloomers and come in an endless 
array of pastel shades which defy accurate description. 
As a cut flower they simply have no superior and in the 
garden their gay colors delight us long after everything 
else has been destroyed by frost.

gold, and glowing salmon.
