Garden Chrysanthemuns 
OCTOBER FLOWERING ‘MUMS 
Under this heading we have a number of garden Chrysanthemums 
which are at their best during the first two weeks of October. Later 
flowering varieties are of little use because they are usually damaged 
before coming into full bloom by either snow or frost. The colors of 
all these are sparkling and bright. All kinds offered are useful as cut 
flowers as well as for garden decoration. 
Caliph Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
For intensity of color, this variety cannot be equaled. The color is ox- 
blood-red, with a rich velvety sheen or glow so prominent that it stands 
out conspicuously among all other Chrysanthemums of this color. 
Eugene A. Wander Each 50c, Doz. $5.00 
Have you longed for a big, hardy ‘Mum that would flower before those 
early October frosts? Well, here it is—a brilliant, glistening golden 
yellow beauty in full bleom by September 20th and so free that the 
stocky plant is almost obscured by its branching clusters of perfectly 
formed double flowers. Hardy and easily grown, it requires no special 
pinching or handling to produce flowers 414 to 5 inches across—larger, 
if disbudded. Fine also for pot culture. 
NOTE: Occasional plants assume bronze-yellow tints, but are just as 
attractive. 
Gleam O’ Gold Each 40c, Doz. $4.00 
This splendid primrose-yellow, aptly named, fairly gleams in the mellow 
October sunshine. Height 2 feet. 
Goblin Each 40c, Doz. $4.00 
A lovely, distinct, warm golden bronze—attains perfection for Halloween 
decorations. Airy, graceful habit. Height 2 feet. 
Granny Scovill Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
If you would ask us we would tell you that this at present is one of the 
loveliest of garden ‘Mums. The full, well-formed, fluffy flowers are fully 
41 inches across. The color is a glowing, clear, warm coral-bronze; in 
full bloom early October. Height 2 feet. 
Hills of Snow Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
This is a white sport of R. Marion Hatton with all the fine habits and 
freedom of blooming of this variety. Good white ‘Mums are scarce. 
Therefore, this one is doubly welcome. 
Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
Jean Cumming 
Large flowers of purest white, with softest yellow and bluish shading 
at the center of the buds. Growth erect and wiry, height medium. 
Exceptional keeping qualities. 
Lavender Lady Each 40c, Doz. $4.00 
This fragrant flower brings true lavender to the garden Chrysanthemums. 
No trace of mauve, pink, or magenta appears under any light condi- 
tions. The silvery lavender flowers are 3 inches or more across and 
appear in perfect branching sprays. Unusually hardy. Height 214 feet. 
In full flower October 8th. 
Louisa Schling Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
The flowers are of good size, fully three inches across, with three or 
four rows of petals, fluffy and distinct in appearance. Glowing salmon- 
coppery red in color, changing to a lovely soft bronze-salmon as the 
flower matures. It is remarkably free flowering. 
Milky Way Each 40c, Doz. $4.00 
Another Bristol departure and the forerunner of a distinct and valuable 
type. Remarkable for the intensity of its milky white coloring in the 
open flower, contrasting with the creamy yellow buds; again for the 
luxuriant rich green foliage clothing the stem right down to the soil. 
The handsome, semi-double, informal blossoms, with broad, overlapping 
petals of unusual texture, carried in branching sprays of 5 to 6, are more 
frost-resistant than any other early white kind. Plant is very hardy and 
vigorous. A different and valuable addition—in full flower late Sep- 
tember. Height 21% to 3 feet. 
Mrs. Pierre S. Du Pont III Each 50c, Doz. $5.00 
The quality of iridescence is so pronounced in this fine new Chrysanthe- 
mum that accurate description is difficult. The dominant shade is a soft 
peach tint blended with mauve undertones; the whole overcast with an 
indescribably luminous sheen. It is entirely distinct and altogether lovely. 
The large, full, perfectly formed flowers are carried on tall, branching 
stems, making a strong, sturdy 214-foot plant. In full flower in early 
October, it will prove a grand addition to the garden and an invaluable 
cut flower variety. 5 
Pale Moon Each 40c, Doz. $4.00 
Delightful, fluffy, sulphur-yellow blossoms completely cover the plant. 
Loosely double flowers, 2 inches across of excellent keeping quality. 
ve Seen is that of butternuts. Height 2 feet. In full flower Octo- 
er 5th. 
Rapture Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
Lovely, medium sized, double flowers combining a beautiful deep orange 
with a lively suffusion of bright carmine. 
R. Marion Hatton Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
In addition to exceptional freedom in blooming, it is one of the earliest 
to flower, and certainly the brightest canary-yellow available, flowering 
from late September on. It is remarkably resistant to frost. 
Romany Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
A lovely flower that truly defies accurate description. Fairly glowing in 
the subdued autumn sunshine. Glowing carmine-red, with fine bronze- 
red tones. Large, full double flowers of nice form are produced freely. 
A fine garden and cut-flower variety. Height 214 feet. 
Symphony Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
Mauve-rose overcast soft coppery rose, with the sheen of a damask silk. 
The flower in maturing acquires silvery lilac and faint copper tones, 
very lovely but elusive and impossible to describe with accuracy. The 
flowers are large, 3 inches across, double, nicely formed, and carried on 
heavy, sturdy stems, several to a spray or cluster. Free-flowering. 
Height 214 to 3 feet. 
White Doty Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
The tall, straight, upright~flower stalks, never needing any support, 
carry large heads of pure white pompon flowers. Excellent for cutting 
or in the background of other varieties.

SEPTEMBER FLOWERING VARIETIES 
In this group we find with a few exceptions all new varieties. 
Through careful breeding and selecting, the time of flowering of these 
Chrysanthemums has been advanced by fully a month over the older 
varieties. They are not only in advance in blooming time but also far 
ahead in clearness and loveliness of color and are far more attractive. 
Masses of bloom from early September and throughout October. 
Acacia Each 40c, Doz. $4.00 
Myriads of small, glittering, delightfully fragrant, acacia-like blossoms 
cover the plant from late September on, remaining fresh and attractive 
for weeks because they are remarkably frost-resistant. Blossoms slight- 
ly over 1 inch across, are semi-double, sulphur-yellow and intensely 
brilliant. Height 2 feet. 
Aladdin Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
The first blooms appear late in July and early August, the color at first 
being an exquisite warm coppery bronze, with an overlay of orange- 
apricot shade which deepens in early autumn. 
Algonquin Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
Showy clear yellow, double flowers 2 inches across. Dwarf, spready 
habit. Height 114 feet. In full flower September 10th. 
Autumn Lights Each 40c, Doz. $4.00 
Coppery bronze, semi-double blossoms with a gleaming orange over- 
cast, cover the compact branchy plant. Healthy, attractive, dark green ~ 
foliage. Compact, tidy growth, plus unusual hardiness, feature this 
useful introduction. Height 114 feet. 
Carrie Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
As early as Glory of Seven Oaks and of practically the same habit, but 
the flowers are a clean, clear pale vellow. 
Early Bronze Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
(Edmund F. Black). A remarkably early flowering pompon in full glory 
in September. Splendid for garden or cutting. Usually free blooming. 
Enchantress Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
Semi-double rose of delicate, yet strong, clear coloring. Fine in garden 
and for cutting. 
Glory of Seven Oaks Each 30c, Doz. $3.00

Noted especially for its early blooming. Commences in early September 
and carries through until late fall. Fully double, golden orange-yellow 
flowers produced in abundance. Good habit. Fine for cutting. 
Pygmy Gold Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
A distinct dwarf Korean Pompon type producing quantities of minia- 
ture blossoms slightly over 1 inch across. The color is a clear golden 
yellow remarkable for its brilliance and intensity. Commencing to flower 
in early September, it is easily the most colorful early Chrysanthemum. 
The Torch Each 30c, Doz. $3.00 
Very bright orange-scarlet with golden reverse. The semi-double flowers 
are very clear and brilliant. 
Warrior — Each 30c, Doz. $3.00
