University of New Hampshire Mums 
While at the University of New Hampshire, Prof. W. D. Holley 
originated the following hardy chrysanthemums. Not only are these 
varieties valuable in the hardy border but they are also well adapted 
to florists’ use. We are glad to introduce these mums and heartily 
recommend them to gardeners and florists alike. 
SUNAPEE 
This clear yellow fully double mum is a tall grower making 
long stems for cutting. It fills the popular demand for a hardy mum 
for florists’ use before greenhouse varieties are ready. Planted 
close in outdoor heds in sheltered positions this variety gives a 
wealth of cutting material. Season mid-September. 
Priced at 50c each.

good report cause us to list them again this year.
