THE NEW UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO 
HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
This group introduced two years ago has won immediate accept- 
ance. The varieties we list are all excellent cut flowers. They flow- 
er in profusion and are in full bloom from mid-September on, at least 
a week or ten days earlier than the main crop of the older varieties. 
These varieties are naturally of a longer stem-length than the Min- 
nesota varieties; but these Chicago Mums are not top heavy. Growth 
is strong and erect. 
BARBARA SMALL A double, incurved flower, nearly 3 inches across. 
Color is dark lavender pink; darker than Lavender Lady and lighter 
than Jewel. Flowers freely and bunches nicely. Height 2% feet. 
CALENDULA A bright golden yellow double flower of 2% inches. 
Flowers freely and bunches nicely. Color and flower form similar to 
Algonquin, but grows stronger and taller. This seems to fill the need 
for a No. 1 early yellow Hardy Mum for cut flowers. Height 2% ft. 
HARBINGER A double pompon flower of 2% inches. Color yellow 
suffused with bronze and apricot tints. Flowers freely and bunches 
nicely. Height 2% feet. 
POLAR ICE A pure white double flower of 3 inches. Grows 2% ft. 
tall, flowers freely and bunches nicely. This flower is pure white at 
all times, without the cream center in young flowers, as is found in 
Avalanche. The petal arrangement is more loose than in Avalanche, 
and Polar Ice will show an open center when fully mature. Growth 
habit is tall and erect which makes it easier to bunch than Avalancche. 
We would say that this is the outstanding variety in the Chicago list, 
and that it is a fine addition to the white Hardy Mums. 
ROBERT BRYDON A garnet red, double flower of 2% inches. 
Growth is somewhat more bushy than the other Chicago varieties. 
Flowers in great profusion. Height 2 ft.
