DEAR FLOWER-LOVING FRIENDS: 
With this, our new 1945 List, I wish you one.and all 
a very Happy New Year. And with the end of the war in 
sight, let us all pray for a speedy ending, so that our 
friends and loved ones may soon return home. And for 
those who will never return, let us pray that they have 
“not died in vain, but gave their lives for a better world 
for all to live in, and for a just and lasting peace. _ 
But until that happy day we must all go on . living, 
and living as normally as possible. And what could bring 
more peace than a few flowers? To get out and. dig in 
‘the soil, plant, work, and watch growing things grow, 
and then the rich reward of beauty for our work and 
care. What could bring our tired hearts and minds more 
peace and pleasure. 
; Sincerely yours, : . 
Nec ree M. FARNAM.

I Consider Outstanding 
35¢ EACH; THREE FOR $1.00 
MRS. PIERRE S. DUPONT—The quality of irrides- 
cence is so pronounced in this fine new Chrysanthemum” 
that accurate description is difficult. The dominant shade 
is a soft peach tint blended with mauve undertones. It 
is entirely distinct and altogether lovely. The large, per- 
fectly formed flowers are carried ‘on tall ‘branching 
stems, making a strong, sturdy 2% foot ‘plant. * In full 
flower in early October. — ; v3 
N. YELLOW—This is another hard-to-describe° Mum. 
The dominant shade is yellow, overcast with orange. 
With the. best. of qualities; perfectly hardy; with long- 
lasting blooms. When disbudded will grow any num- 
ber of six-inch blooms. If larger blooms are desired 
leave about four or six buds to a plant. If only one bud 
is allowed to form on a plant a 12-inch bloom ‘may be ex- 
-pected. I have loads of fun and pleasure with this Mum.
