MAX SCHLING PRESENTS FOUR OUTSTANDING 
SUPER HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS (De Petris Hybrids) 
(Shown in color on inside front cover) 
As mentioned on the inside front cover of our catalog this new set of DePetris Hybrid Chrysanthemums is an outstanding achievem« 
of one of the greatest modern American plant hybridizers. We might mention that Mr. DePetris has introduced eight new commer¢ 
varieties of chrysanthemums, five of which received Gold Medals at the National Chrysanthemum Society Show at Columbus, Ohio, 
November 1943. 
It is hard to realize the painstaking preparation and research that is necessary in the creation of a new variety that will represent 
distinct advance and improvement over existing varieties. 
It is impossible for any hybridizer to be repaid materially for the effort and sk 
required to produce new varieties. It is truly a labor of love inspired by the desire to improve the breed of a flower so well loved. T 
varieties are: 
PURITY. A solid double white pompon producing flowers on 
large plants of splendid growing habit. The height is 2 feet 
and the plant spreads about 3 feet. Exceptionally hardy and 
early, blooming September 25th. 
HARVEST QUEEN. Large size double pompon. Color a luminous 
non-fading yellow. Plants are large and bushy with rigid stems. 
Another feature of this variety is its dark glossy foliage typical 
of the DePetris varieties. Matures September 20th.

SIX OUTSTANDING SUPER HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
INTRODUCED LAST YEAR — A MAX SCHLING EXCLUSIVE! 
Some of our most popular varieties of hardy Chrysanthemums have proven 
quite tricky in that they lack extreme hardiness under all climatic conditions. 
The foliage appears to burn and falls off and the flowers are of insufficient 
substance, and the first light frost discolors the bloom beyond recognition. 
There has been a long-felt need for a race of hardy Chrysanthemums that 
not only retain the beauty of their foliage and flowers after frost, but are 
absolutely hardy under all climatic conditions, and are of such sturdy and 
vigorous growth that staking is not required. 
We predict that these 6 Arcticum Hybrids will be the forerunners of the 
most popular strain of hardy garden Chrysanthemums. 
ARCTIC QUEEN. Large, Daisy-like blooms with several rows of broad petals 
on strong stems. A beautiful, bronzy yellow suffused with salmon. Foliage 
absolutely disease-resistant. Perfectly. fool-proof and makes a_ splendid 
cut flower of great lasting quality. 
CORAL SEA. Dwarf spreading habit, plants are literally covered with hun- 
dreds of blossoms until the most severe killing frost. Flowers are double, 
of decorative type, the color a salmon-buff suffused with coppery rose 
Seeenins to creamy salmon when the flowers are open.

Hardy in sub-zero 
Disease resistant. Very valuable for low borders and rock gardens.
