The New DePetris Varieties 
This new group of Arcticum Hybrids, originated 
by Vincent De Petris, famous chrysanthemum 
hybridist of Detroit, brings new and desirable 
traits to the Garden Chrysanthemum. They are 
extremely free and beautiful as cut flowers. These 
hybrids carry the hardiness of the Arcticum 
parent. All flower in early October unless other- 
wise noted. 
ARCTIC QUEEN. Very large single blossoms 
with several rays of distinctive broad petals 
not unlike the Gerbera in effect. Color, bronze- 
yellow with salmon shading. 
CORAL SEA. Delightfully different in its tum- 
bling masses of coppery tinted salmon-rose 
blossoms. It is a low, spready, perfectly hardy 
plant. A gem for bordering or foreground plant- 
ing. In full flower October Ist. 
DUBONNET. Very large single, amaranth pink 
blossoms. Strong, sturdy plant. 
POLLYANNA. Large single blossoms with grace- 
ful, recurving, broad petals. Luminous pink 
with rosy salmon sheen. Quite distinct. 
WHITE CLOUD. A profusion of double blos- 
soms. Pure white when fully open. Fine early 
variety. Sept. 20. 
WINSOME. Single. Soft peach-pink. Extremely 
free.

THE PERFECT 
BRONZE 
BURMA. (B. N., 1944.) In your garden 
only—as it grows—can you get the 
true picture of Burma; no illustration 
can capture its luminous quality or 
show its perfection of form. 
Beautifully modelled blossoms, glis- 
tening bronze, with under tones of 
copper and soft pink, simply cover 
the shapely, heavily branched, 2 ft. 
plant by late September. The dis- 
tinctive rich green foliage acquires its 
fine texture from the little known 
species C. Nipponicum which we 
have successfully bred into the 
Korean Hybrid strain. Another 
Bristol First, incidentally.

bronze-yellow, 3 inches across. In full flower 
early September. Favorite early Mum. Height, 
18 in.

perfect pure white. Large, very double. Height, 
11% ft. Mid-September.

bronze with fire. Full double flower; sturdy
