New Hardy Garden Chrysanthemums 
for 1943 
Originated by Bristol Nurseries, Inc., World-Famous 
for Outstanding Chrysanthemum Introductions. 
The following descriptions are by the originators: 
RED VELVET. 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 itself long before flowering. Height 2 ft. In full flower early 
October. 
MARJORIE MILLS. A captivating plant indeed is this new cushion 
variety in its varying tints and colors--deep crimson when opening, 
shaded burnished chestnut-crimson, later becoming suffused with rose 
and bronze tints. The bushy, azaleamum-like plants, seldom exceeding 
18 inches in height but somewhat wider, are simply covered with blos- 
soms from late September on. For a really fine border effect, plant 20 
inches apart in the row. Equally good in groups or as a single specimen. 
BRONZE-GOLD. Entirely distinct from other cushion kinds in its some- 
what loose, but altogether desirable informal habit. It is a fluffy, gorge- 
ous mass of gold tinted with bronz2 from late September until the season 
ends. Height, 2 ft.; much wider. Really a grand bit of color! 
REMBRANDT. Here we have 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 
shade which we (Bristol Nurseries) 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, the 
plants grow to a height of 18-24 inches, remarkably free and colorful 
from October 1 on. Be sure to include this mum by way of a sample in 
your planting. 
RUBY POMPON. Ruby crimson is the color, but far more rich and 
glowing than any other pompon. Equally exciting is the remarkable pro- 
fusion in which the branchy 2% ft. plant carries its nicely formed blos- 
soms. Actually more flowers to a single branch than you’ll find on the 
entire plant of many of the pompons. In full flower early October. A 
striking addition! 
All of the above varieties 75 cents each 
Our stock of these is limited, and it would be wise to
