THE NEW UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO 
HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
These early, free-flowering Chicago Hardy Mums form an extra- 
ordinary and outstanding group. They are a great advancement in 
the cut-flower class. All who see or grow them are enthusiastic in 
their praise, and agree that they are far ahead of practically all 
other new introductions. W.ithout a doubt, they will become even 
more popular and retain their leadership for many years. 
All are in full bloom from mid-September on, at least a week or 
ten days earlier than the main crop of most hardy varieties. They 
have good sturdy stems, growth is vigorous, and the foliage is healthy.
