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 pom- 
_ pon chrysanthemums and their branching, 
: ~ bushy growth makes them very suitable for 
a - 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.

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.
