CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
The Glory of Your Autumn Garden 
All plants from 214-inch pots 
THE MINNESOTA GROUP 
Here are offered twenty-three new varieties of garden Chrysanthemums developed by Prof. L. E. Longley at the University 
of Minnesota. They are admirably adapted to locations subject to early frosts because of their extra early flowering habit, long 
blooming period, unusual colors and high degree of hardiness. All are suitable for cutting and have long-lasting qualities as cut 
flowers. Time of planting has some influence on earliness of bloom.

Aurora. A low compact type of plant. The flowers, borne in 
masses, are 214 inches in diameter, and dragon’s-blood-red 
in color, becoming lighter as they age. They resemble 
those of Harmony, but are larger, more double, and brighter.

inches in diameter and are produced in great profusion on 
long stems suitable for cutting. In cool weather the flowers 
take on a pinkish tinge. The plant is strong and of medium 
height.

moderately long stems. The flowers are ball-like in form,

bronze-flowered variety, although the color of the flowers 
on the same plant varies from yellow to Brazil-red. During 
the early season it is yellowish, later strawberry-pink and 
with the cool weather it becomes Brazil-red. At times all 
the colors are present at once. The plant form ts similar to
