CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Korean Hybrids 
While touring New England in autumn our 
neighbor, Sydney B. Mitchell, president of 
the California Horticultural Society, saw 
the magnificent massed plantings of Korean 
hybrid chrysanthemums at the Bristol 
Nurseries, where they were originated by 
the manager, Alex Cumming. 
We can now furnish seed direct from the 
originator. This is the easiest and cheapest 
way to secure a wide range of colors in these 
brilliant early-flowering single, semi-double 
and double chrysanthemums. In California 
they come a month earlier than the pompon 
chrysanthemums and their branching, 
bushy growth makes them very suitable for 
garden as well as for cutting. 
Start the seed in March or April. Pinch 
the plants back two or three times before 
the buds begin to form. Plant in good mel- 
low soil but do not fertilize or the plant will 
grow tall at the expense of the bloom.

A NEW SWEET CORN 
Having run across a new product 
of unusually fine quality, we step out 
of our line to present it to such of 
our customers as may be interested 
in an item of that sort. The item is a 
new white sweet corn which Mr. Sal- 
bach grows for use on his own table. 
A—6 to 8 feet. April to June. A packet 
will plant a 10-foot square of 4 rows, 
8 hills to the row, 4 seeds to a hill. 
Single row planting usually means 
half filled ears. Successive plantings 
can be made a month apart. Water 
only enough to produce normal 
growth. Cultivate frequently. 
Aunt Mary’s Sweet Corn—A fellow 
iris grower told us about this sweet 
white corn, which had been grown 
in his family for years. We tried a 
planting for our own use and found 
it to be the best sweet corn we had 
ever eaten—a real treat, deliciously 
sweet and unusually tender. Many 
customers voice their enthusiasm 
as to its high quality.

DELPHINIUM 
Perennial Larkspur (p) 
Pacific Strain 
Delphinium is the tallest and stateliest of 
all garden flowers. The Pacific Strain devel- 
oped by Frank Reinelt produces most per- 
fect, well-balanced spikes, 4 to 8 feet high. 
The individual florets 2 inches to 3 inches 
across, almost all double and never coarse. 
This strain is particularly mildew resistant. 
For best germination, seeds should be put in 
the refrigerator for a week and started with 
a bottom heat and cool overhead temper- 
ature. In hot weather the germination and 
growth are very poor. Plants should be in 
full sun and in rich, well-drained soil. All 
our seed comes from the originator of this 
strain.
