SUPER-HARDY BRISTOL INTRODUCTIONS for 1945 
Selected for New England gardens, these four new Mums winter-tested since 1942 have proven 
definitely more hardy than the average and we believe they will survive any New England winter 
with reasonable protection. Early-flowering, they are sure to make a good display before killing 
frost occurs except where conditions may be extreme. Bristol introductions are not intentionally 
exaggerated and we feel sure there is a definite need for every one of these new offerings. 
APRICOT GLOW — (No. 47-42 C.N.P.) 
This new Bristol contribution to the popular ‘Azalea’ or ‘Cushion’? type summer- 
flowering Chrysanthemum reflects a definite advance in every way. Richly hued apricot- 
bronze, 2%-inch, double blossoms nicely formed, simply cover the plant by mid- 
August and increase in profusion and beauty day by day. First of all in our entire 
collection to flower, it is by far the most abundant—the most attractive—right through 
the long Autumn season; the continuous development of branches and new flowers con- 
ceal the earlier blossoms as they mature. Growing to a height of about 18 inches 
with a spread of 21% feet or more the first season, it is a symmetrical yet gracefully 
informal plant. A delightful addition to any garden. Very hardy. 
FIREGLOW — Super-hardy (No. 15-41 C.P.K.) 
Brilliant Oriental red is the color. ‘‘Scintillating’’ describes the effect in one word. In 
the garden it is a grand bit of color from early September until the season's end and it 
takes more than a severe frost to mar its beauty. The blossoms, 2 inches or more across, 
are semi-double with a showy golden center. Carried in well spaced sprays, they are 
welcome indeed for all cut flower uses. Under artificial light it is strikingly effective. 
The plant, 18 inches in height and somewhat wider, is shapely, erect rather than cushion- 
like. Extremely hardy and easy to grow. 
MAGNOLIA — Super-hardy (No. 6-41 C.N.P.) 
PINK 
This latest hybrid from Nipponicum, so charming in its play of delicate colors, is alto- 
gether distinct from any other garden variety. The very double, high centered, 4-inch 
blossoms, magnolia-like in substance, seem to reflect the soft pink tints of the water-lily 
in the opening flower, later shading to creamy pink with diffused soft yellow overtones. 
Whether in the garden or in the home, it is a color blending that simply grows on one. 
Plant qualities are superb too. About 2 feet in height, the stocky, rugged plants require 
no staking or special attention. In full flower by mid-September, a long season of blossom 
is assured. This trait combined with its unusual hardiness will make Magnolia a favorite 
even where conditions are not altogether favorable for garden Mums. 
RADIANCE — Super-hardy (No. 14-41 C.P.K.A.) 
Great, long stemmed, branching sprays of soft pink blossoms so completely cover this 
vigorous plant that the effect is actually luminous in the garden and remains so for a 
surprisingly long period. No garden variety that we know compares with it for sheer 
profusion combined with quality. The double blossoms, 3 inches or more across, are 
remarkably resistant to the rigors of our New England Autumns; the plant far above 
the average in its winter hardiness. It’s a lusty, 21% ft. Chrysanthemum. In full flower by 
September 25th.
