GARDEN HISTORY 
o+ee-e- FOR 1943 

RED VELVET (12-40 C.K.) 
THE ‘“‘Mum of the Year’’ 
Mrs. Pierre S. duPont x Caliph is the parentage of this glorious new 
crimson. It is the perfect combination, adding the erect, clean-growing 
habit of Mrs. duPont to the rich color of Caliph. The shapely, full, double 
flowers, medium in size, are carried erect on good stems. The color, velvety 
crimson when opening, changes to an even dark crimson and it does not 
fade disagreeably, but remains attractive for a remarkably long period. 
The plant has healthy dark foliage and is attractive in itself long before 
flowering. Height, 2 ft. In full flower early October. ‘‘Surpassingly fine’ is 
the concise report from Harold Ross, who grows many varieties in his 
Massachusetts garden and really knows Mums. 

MARJORIE 
MILLS 
The perfect 
border mum 
Border your garden with 
Marjorie Mills. It’s the ideal 
Mum for an informal edging 
—the rich green plants effec- 
tive long before flowering. 
Plant clusters of 3 in the 
border foreground. Fine for 
the Rock Garden too.

Rembrandt 
REMBRANDT (/45-40 C.P.K.) 
Truly an Art creation 
Bristol now offers a color blend entirely new and not easy to describe 
—rosy mauve with faint copper tinting, add a suffusion of ripe 
strawberry, and you have the general color effect. It is truly an art 
blend which we have developed by combining the Chrysanthemum 
with Pyrethrum Hybridum, and the forerunner of an Art Group 
which will be introduced in due time. Trim, upright plants grow to a 
height of 18-24 inches, remarkably free and colorful from October Ist 
on. Be sure to include this by way of a sample in your planting. 

Lavender Lassie 
LAVENDER LASSIE (/H.C. 1-41) 
A miniature ‘‘Lavender Lady’’ 
Amazing in its profusion 
A counterpart of the ever popular Lavender Lady, but in the smaller 
pompon form and low ecushion-like habit of growth. The dense plants, 
2 ft. in height, often 3 ft. across, are simply smothered with double 
flowers 2 inches in diameter of almost the identical color of Lavender 
Lady. It will be regarded as an extremely free and attractive addition 
to the pompon group. In full flower in late September.
