Alex Cumming inspecting a border of North Star in full September bloom—the finest early single chrysanthemum to date, he 
believes.... Mr. Cumming, renowned hybridist, who gave the world the first Hybrid Korean Chrysanthemums, Gypsophila Bristol 
Fairy, Weigela Bristol Ruby, and many other fine things, is Manager of the Bristol Nurseries, Inc. 
The Glistening White NORTH STAR 
(B. N., 1944) 
Extremely hardy. Early. The best pure white single Chrysanthemum 
for New England. Profuse beyond belief—a 4 to 5 foot spread is not 
unusual in a 2-year plant. Height, 21% ft. Full flower September 20.

AVALANCHE 
The finest white Garden Mum ever introduced. Magnificent 5-inch 
blossoms, perfect in form, carried in great branching sprays. In 
flower about September 25. 
3 for $1.40; $5.00 per doz.; 50 cts. each 

Under date of Sept. 30, 1944, Mrs. F. A. Duerr, Somerset County, 
Pennsylvania, asks, “Have you any other chrysanthemum comparable 
to the new North Star? I live in the Pennsylvania mountains, altitude 
2240 feet. North Star has been in bloom since mid-August and is still 
lovely as frost has held off longer than usual this year. The plant is 
husky, healthy, and still a good clean white.”’ 

CORAL SEA. (DePetris.) Delightfully different in 
its tumbling masses of coppery tinted salmon-rose 
blossoms. It is alow, spready, perfectly hardy 
plant. A gem for bordering or foreground planting. 
In full flower October Ist.
