CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Korean Hybrids 
While touring New England in autumn 
our neighbor, Sydney B. Mitchell, presi- 
dent of the California Horticultural So- 
ciety, saw the magnificent massed plant- 
ings of Korean hybrid chrysanthemums 
at the Bristol Nurseries, where they were 
originated by the manager, Alex Cum- 
ming. 
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 chrysan- 
themums. In California they come a 
month earlier than the pompon chrys- 
anthemums 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 be- 
fore the buds begin to form. Plant in 
good mellow soil but do not fertilize or 
the plants will grow tall at the expense 
of the ploOmix sen ee ae Pkt. 50c
