COLORFUL 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
FOR A SHOWY 
GARDEN 
THE MINNESOTA GROUP 
Here are offered seventeen new varieties of garden Chrysanthemums developed by Prof. L. E. Longley at 
the University of Minnesota. They are admirably adapted to locations subject to early frosts because of their 
extra early flowering habit, long blooming period, unusual colors and high degree of hardiness. All are suitable 
for cutting and have long lasting qualities. 
Boreas. An early double white. The flowers are about 
2 inches in diameter and are produced in great profusion 
on long stems suitable for cutting. The plant is strong and 
of medium height. 
Duluth. A rather tall, upright type with semi-double, 
lemon-yellow flowers 2 inches in diameter. Very floriferous, 
blooming early and continuing for a long period. 
Harmony. I[n a general way this would be classed as a 
bronze-flowered variety, although the color of the flowers 
on the same plant varies from yellow to Brazil-red. During 
the early season it is yellowish, later strawberry-pink and 
with the cool weather it becomes Brazil-red. At times all 
the colors are present at once. The plant form is similar to 
that of the Cushion type; flowers 214 inches in diameter. 
Moonglow. A low, bushy plant with dark green, glossy 
leaves. An early bloomer having double, deep Iemon- 
chrome flowers 134 inches in diameter, covering the plant 
for several weeks. 
Red Wing. A low, upright plant with rather long stems. The 
semi-double Pompeian-red flowers are 134 inches in diameter 
and are produced very early. 
Welcome. One of the earliest to bloom. The plant is irregu- 
larly bushy and rather low. The bright mallow-purple 
flowers on long stems are semi-double and measure 134 
inches in diameter.
