HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Well Established 2” Pot Plants ~ Ready For Shipment From The 1st of March On 
We wish to call your special attention to our most outstanding assortment of Hardy Chrysanthemums which are 
fully developed in 2’ pots. Each year while our plants are in flower we check our fields carefully several times during 
their flowering season and select for propagation purposes only the varieties that are distinctly outstanding. Here is 
your opportunity to purchase the latest and most valuable introductions in Hardy Mums at reasonable prices. 
NOTE: Varieties marked thus, (*), are suitable 
for pot development. 
* ALBERT MULLER. Soft apricot, shading to 
light pink. Good habit and form. Height 2 feet. 
Per 10, $1.50; Per 100, $10.00 
AVALANCHE. This variety easily takes its 
place among the best whites that we have 
ever seen. The flowers are very large, measur- 
ing 4 inches across. The flower petals are long, 
tay-like extensions that occur in so great num- 
ber that the effect is richly double. It is a per- 
fect cut flower type; early, free-flowering, tall 
and straight stemmed. 
Per 10, $2.00; Per 100, $15.00 
*BURGUNDY. Rich cerise-crimson, acquiring 
deeper tones in the center as the bloom ma- 
tures. The flowers are of good size and quite 
double and carried on erect branching stems. 
Per 10, $1.50; Per 100, $10.00 
*DAHLIA FLOWER. It is a deep dark red, the 
richest of colors. It is absolutely different than 
any other Chrysanthemum in cultivation today. 
The flowers resemble very closely a Cactus 
Dahlia. The plants are of sturdy habit, develop- 
ing into solid bushy plants, 14 to 18 inches in 
height. The first blooms appear around the 
middle of September and from then on this 
variety creates one of the most outstanding 
showings until cut down by frost. 
Per 10, $2.50: Per 100, $20.00 
*CYDONIA. One of the brightest colored vari- 
eties. Double flowers of a brilliant orange- 
mahogany. 
Per 10, $1.50; Per 100, $10.00 
EARLY WONDER. Pat. No. 490. On first open- 
ing the flowers are a delicate pink blending 
to peach blossom pink when fully open. It is 
hardy, blooms early enough for a complete 
crop in all sections of the country. 
Per 10, $2.75; Per 100, $22.50 
EUGENE A. WANDER. A big, brilliant, glisten- 
ing golden yellow beauty, flowering so freely 
that the stocky growing plant is almost ob- 
scured by its branching clusters of big double 
flowers—each one the height of perfection in 
form. Plant seldom exceeds eighteen inches 
and is in full flower by September 20th—there- 
fore valuable where earliness is important. It 
is a hardy, easily grown variety, requiring no 
pinching or special handling to produce flowers 
4¥2 to 5 inches across or larger if disbudded. 
Fine also for pot culture. 
Per 10, $2.00; Per 100, $15.00 
*GERONIMO. Fully double bronze flowers 
with buff tones. Bushy in growth and an early 
bloomer. Very attractive now as a novelty— 
will remain popular as a lovely Mum. 
Per 10, $1.50; Per 100, $10.00 
IRENE. A true white Pompon type, 1 to 1% 
inches in diameter, upright wiry stems. Flow- 
ers in September. 
Per 10, $1.50: Per 100, $10.00 
JEWELL. A brilliant deep pink Pompon flower- 
ing in late September, and continuing through- 
out October and early November. One of the 
earliest Pompons to bloom. 
Per 10, $1.75: Per 100, $12.50 
JEWELL DARK PINK. This is a sport from the 
well known Jewell which has been so popular. 
Compact grower, producing small Pompon 
flowers of a dark pink color. 
Per 10, $2.00; Per 100, $15.00 
KING MIDAS. Produces quantities of full, dou- 
ble flowers from late September through Octo- 
ber. An effective soft yellow, occasionally tinted 
with bronze. Grows to a height of 2¥2 feet. 
Per 10, $1.50; Per 100, $10.00 
LAVENDER LADY. A lovely true lavender, no 
trace of mauve, purple or magenta appears 
under any light condition. 
Per 10, $1.50; Per 100, $10.00 
MILKY WAY. This is outstanding among all 
white Hardy Chrysanthemums. Blossoms are 
of the semi-double informal type, with broad 
overlapping petals and are carried in branchy 
sprays of 5 to 6. Unusually hardy as a plant, 
the open flower is remarkably frost resistant— 
a valuable trait where early frosts may injure 
the opening flower, particularly on white 
kinds. A strong, vigorous plant 2¥2 to 3 feet 
in height, flowering in late September. 
Per 10, $2.00; Per 100, $15.00 
MRS. PIERRE S. DuPONT III. The quality of 
iridescence is so pronounced in this fine new 
Hardy Chrysanthemum that accurate descrip- 
tion is difficult. The dominant shade is a soft 
peach tinted with rosy salmon and fawn 
shades; the whole overcast with an indescrib- 
ably 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, 2¥2 foot plant. 
In full flower in early October, it will prove 
a grand addition to the garden and an in- 
valuable cut flower variety. 
Per 10, $2.25; Per 100, $17.50 
MRS. SAM P. ROTAN. Double flowers of bril- 
liant golden yellow, shading to deep orange. 
Per 10, $1.50; Per 100, $10.00 
*POMPONETTE. One of the most appealing of 
the Pompon types in the test gardens. Grows 
to 14% feet and is covered with a mass of 
golden flowers tinted gently with a bronze 
overcast. 
Per 10, $1.75; Per 100, $12.50 
*ROSE GLOW. A raspberry-rose color which 
later shades to an opalescent rose, semi-double 
flowers 2 inches across. 
Per 10, $1.75; Per 100, $12.00 
*SEPTEMBER BRONZE. The warm bronze and 
golden bronze tints of autumn are beautifully 
reflected in about the shapeliest little Pompon 
blossoms one can picture—and there are great 
quantities of them. It is a remarkable robust 
plant. Most colorful early variety to date. 
Per 10, $2.50; Per 100, $20.00 
* SEPTEMBER CLOUD. Like ‘September Gold’ 
in habit—the ball-like blossoms are a trifle 
larger, purest ivory-white with soft primrose 
shading in center; wonderfully fine dark green 
contrasting foliage. Breath-taking in its gleam- 
ing perfection. The best white Pompon,

inches in height, much wider the first season. 
Immensely prolific and somewhat earlier in
