NEW ENGLISH HYBRIDS 
Largest of All Outdoor Mums 
There was real enthusiasm about these large, long 
petaled beautiful varieties while in bloom on our 
grounds last fall. Many flowers were equal to green- 
house grown blooms. We recommend planting these 
close to a building where protection can be given if 
necessary to afford full development. 50c each, 3 of 
one kind for $1.40. 
Alabaster. A very large pure white flower, fully double 
on long strong stems; plant is of robust growth. 
Bronze Freida. A flower of very fine form with just 
enough irregularity in petal arrangement to be es- 
pecially interesting; color a beautiful orange-bronze. 
Colorado Lavender. In color it is the same beautiful 
geal of the very popular variety Lavender 
ady. 
Mr. Finaley. A very beautiful shade of deep sulphur 
yellow, beautifully formed, fully double flowers. 
Vulcan. One of the earliest of the class. Huge double 
flowers of a beautiful bright crimson. If disbudded it 
produces really prize blooms.
