NEW CHRYSANTHEMUM, 
MME. CHIANG KAI-SHEK 
(Patent Pending) ; 
Beautifully forméd flowers, fully double, composed of stiff petals able 
to withstand any and all bad weather. The petals are perfectly ar- 
ranged, creating a formal effect, so nice one would think the flowers 
were grown in a greenhouse. The color is a blending of chrome-yellow, 
cadmium-yellow, and soft tinted old gold which under bright sun or 
artificial light shows a delicate undertone of rose. Most difficult to 
describe. However, we consider it the finest Chrysanthemum in our 
collection, if not the finest in the country. A magnificent plant which 
portrays autumn in all its glory and riot of color better than any other 
flower we have. The perfectly shaped flowers average two inches in 
diameter, are carried on stiff thin stems excellent for cutting, foliage 
deep green. Plant spreads to about 2 feet, and is about 2 to 214 feet 
tall. In full flower in September, often showing blooms in late August. 
Don‘t miss having this most beautiful variety in your garden this 
summer, 
Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
CHRYSANTHEMUM ERUBESCENS 
Clara Curtis Each 55c, Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75 
The hundreds of single salmon-pink daisy-like flowers are about 3 
inches in diameter and are at their best in August and early Sep- 
tember. They are well arranged on short much-branched stems not 
over 12 to 18 inches high in such numbers that the plants look 
like small mounds of pink. They are perfectly hardy and bloom so 
early that the flowers are never damaged by frost. After a short 
rest period in the fall the plants may be dug up in early winter, 
potted, and forced into bloom by February and March. They make 
splendid pot plants. The habit of Chrysanthemum Clara Curtis is 
spreading. A two-year-old plant grows about 18 to 24 inches across. 
Last but not least, it is perfectly hardy anywhere and not particular 
as to soil or location. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM, “ASTRID” (Northland Daisy) 
Astrid is a hybrid of the extremely hardy species, C. Arcticum, and the 
first hybrid of this variety to be introduced. The single, daisy-like flow- 
ers are three inches or more in diameter, and are a lovely shade of shell- 
pink, warmed with old rose tints, with a bright yellow center. The plants 
have attractive light green foliage, not bothered by diseases or insects. It 
is the hardiest hybrid Daisy we know of, having come through the past 
severe winters without protection and without damage.

that purpose. The flowers are at their best from September to middle 
October, and it’s perfectly hardy anywhere,
