Early Flowering Hardy Chrysanthemums 
BRED 
FOR 
HARDINESS 
The hybridizing and grow- 
ing of new hardy chrysanthe- 
mums has been a_ specialty 
with us for years. We have 
developed the Arcticum Hy- 
brids to the point where they 
are the finest chrysanthemums 
for Northern planting because 
of their extreme hardiness and 
* early bloonifng habit. 


The following varieties of chrysanthemums have been selected as 
especially suited to growing in the colder parts of our country where 
seasons are short. They will be found just as colorful and attractive 
when grown in more favorable climates. Much more effective when 
planted in groups of three or more of a variety or color. 
COCHECO 
A new and unique type,of Chrysanthemum of iron-clad. hardi- 
ness, its blooms are remarkably frost-resistant. It is,easy to 
grow, requires no pinching, and its foliage is attractive and not 
liable to disease. Its compact habit makes it. desirable as.a pot 
or bedding plant. Although the florets are similar to those of 
the Cushion Mums the plant i is upright and has none of the floppi- 
ness seen in these varities. The unfolding buds are purplish in 
color, opening to a most brilliant pink and remaining in good 
condition for several weeks. For profusion of bloom ‘t. sur- 
passes any Chrysanthemum we have yet seen:. Cocheco is the 
Indian name of our near-by river.
