New DePotris 
CHRYSANTHEMUM 
HYBRIDS 
An Exclusive Max Schling Feature 
The new set of 4 De Petris Hybrid Chrysanthe- 
mums that we offer for 1944 is another definite 
step forward in the introduction of super hardy 
Chrysanthemums. Judging from the testimonials 
that we have received regarding the all-around 
excellence of our Arcticum Hybrids which we 
introduced last year we can safely state that 
this new list will be received with great ac- 
claim by all Chrysanthemum lovers. This 
selection of varieties represents the best of 
over 100 seedlings that are the result of 
crosses of various closely related species in- 
cluding the Arcticums, Koreans, Nipponicums 
and other species. The object was to depart 
from the practice of inbreeding and thus 
obtain extreme vigor and hardiness plus super 
disease resistance and novel color blends.

NEW HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
CHRYSANTHEMUM 
(Arcticum Sky brids 
One of the foremost hybridizers in the United States has developed 
many new and beautiful hybrids of Chrysanthemum Arcticum. The 
ones we present have been selected from hundreds of successful crosses 
and represent the finest of the lot. Chrysanthemum Arcticum is noted 
for its extreme hardiness, the beauty and vigor of its foliage, its re- 
sistance to disease and insects, and the length of its blooming season. 
By crossing Arcticum with some of the finer hardy Chrysanthemums, 
we are enabled to present these varieties with every assurance that they 
are extremely hardy in any section of the country, that the foliage is 
of long lasting beauty, the flowers are of exceptional quality and we 
can characterize all of these varieties as being virtually fool-proof.
