SUPER-HARDY BRISTOL 
INTRODUCTIONS FOR 1945 
We take pleasure in offering these new 
varieties of hardy Chrysanthemums, selected 
and tested for their hardiness, that survive 
the cold of New England winter with reason- 
able protection. 
Apricot Glow. This, the first of the Cushion- 
type Mums to show color, brings a new 
degree of quality to this popular group. 
The amazingly prolific plants are covered 
with shapely, high-centered, 24-inch 
double blooms, rich apricot-bronze in 
color, from the middle of August until kill- 
ing frost. Height, 18 inches with a spread 
up to 3 feet the first year. It is a dense 
plant, symmetrical yet informally graceful. 
Each 75c.; doz. $7.50. : 
Fireglow. Brilliant Chincse red, semi-double 
flowers 2 inches or more across appear in 
early September. From then on, the plant 
is a grand bit of color. Even the older flow- 
ers are attractive in their bronzy red tones. 
It is a shapely, compact, 18-inch plant, ex- 
tremely hardy and trouble free. Good for 
cut-flowers; fine for garden color. Each 
75c.; doz. $7.50. 
Magnolia. Clean-cut, large, shapely, high- 
centered, very double blossoms of unusual 
texture, averaging 4 inches across and pro- 
duced in generous clusters about mid- 
September. From then on, the plant is 
covered with buds and flowers. Color is 
pink shading to creamy pink with a dainty 
soft yellow overcast. The stocky plants 
average 2 feet in height, and require no 
staking or special attention. Bred from 
Nipponicum, this variety is distinct from 
any other sort and instantly appeals to 
everyone. Cuts very nicely. Each 75c.; 
doz. $7.50. 
Pink Radiance. From late September on, 
plants are an exuberant mass of color, 
carrying hundreds of blossoms 3 inches or 
more across. The color, luminous pink, 
with soft pink at the center, is unlike any 
other and holds well. Like its namesake, 
the Radiance rose, it is sure to become a 
favorite garden variety. Height, 214 feet 
with equal spread. Each 75c.; doz. $7.50. 

Chrysanthemums 
Chrysanthemums are the glory of the garden. Their easy culture, 
vigorous growth, freedom of bloom, wide range of forms, and gorgeous colors 
have made them an outstanding favorite. They are not only decorative m 
the garden, but are equally attractive in the home. Their vivid, sparkling 
colors add a light note to your home color effect.
