FOUR PROVEN 1944 
DePETRIS HYBRID 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Judging from the testimonials that we 
have received regarding the all-around ex- ‘ 
cellence of our Arcticum Hybrids which we 
first introduced in 1943, and the acclaim 
with which they were received, we can safely 
state that every Chrysanthemum lover will 
welcome the addition of these splendid new 
varieties to their collection. 
The strength and constitution of this new 
strain has been developed by cross-breeding 
between various closely related species in- 
cluding the Arcticums, Koreans, Nipponi- 
cums, Rubellums and other species. Their hard- 
iness and disease resistance is traceable to the 
Arcticum and Nipponicum blood. The lovely 
colors can be attributed to the Korean bloom, 
and the inclusion of Rubellum blood has pro- 
duced earliness as well. Full description of these 
four varieties will be found on page 4. Strong 
22-inch pot-grown plants, 75c each; 3 for 
$2.00; $7.50 per doz.

New De Paotris 
CHRYSANTHEMUM 
HYBRIDS 
An Exclusive Max Schling Feature 
We are again privileged to introduce a set of three new 
DePetris Hybrid Chrysanthemums. As we continue the in- 
troduction of new varieties of this accepted and accredited 
strain the advancement that is being made becomes ap- 
parent. Needless to say we could introduce possibly ten new 
varieties representing the selection of over 100 new seed- 
lings on trial, but these three are the best of the ten. 
The constitution of this strain is remarkable. In our own 
: plantings we found that all of the DePetris varieties stood 
“up under the severe lashing of the 1944 hurricane which 
struck Long Island with full force. Plants in full bud, and 
flowers that were actually uprooted by the force of the gale 
were reset in the ground and continued their growth un- 
ruffled. None of these varieties were staked or given any 
support whatsoever, still there was absolutely no breakage 
or snapping of the stems. This is one of the strongest testi- 
monials to the strength of this strain. 
The three new varieties being presented this year show a 
remarkable advance in color. A full description of these 
new varieties will be found on page 4. Strong 22-inch pot- 
grown plants, $1.00 each; 3 for $2.75; $10.00 per doz.
