gardening public. 
It is important to know the habit and blooming dates —

fully known, we predict that it will be the most popular of all hardy garden Chrysanthemum strains. 
It is hard to realize the painstaking preparation and research that is necessary in the creation of a new variety that will represent a dis-

1945 INTRODUCTIONS 
Allegro. A charming and beautiful variety that will be welcomed by 
all connoisseurs. It is difficult to describe the unusual blend of 
glowing shrimp-pink suffused with coppery salmon. One of the 
finest varieties for cutting, coming into full bloom October 15th. 
This variety may be disbudded to produce large single blossoms. 
Aviator. We predict that this new rich coppery red will be the most 
popular garden Chrysanthemum of its color. The quality of the 
blooms compares favorably with the finest greenhouse pompons. 
A vigorous and easy grower, coming into full bloom October 10th. 
Morning Star. A large fully double soft primrose-yellow shading to 
cream-yellow. Extremely early flowering, blooming from late Au- 
gust until killing frost. The dwarf, vigorous and spreading plants
