1946 INTRODUCTIONS 
All of the Chrysanthemums illustrated on this 
page are in the class of proven varieties, those 
which we have already disseminated and which 
have been given wide acclaim by Chrysanthemum 
lovers all over the country. 
One of the most interesting and satisfying de- 
velopments since the introduction of these varieties 
has been the strong demand by commercial growers 
for stock to use either as cut flowers or for resale. 
ALLEGRO is without doubt the most sought after 
pink hardy Chrysanthemum in the country today. 
It is truly pink with none of the lavender or 
magenta shadings that are associated with ordinary 
pink varieties. 
AVIATOR rates next in outstanding popularity 
for its vigor and brilliant coloring. 
We regret that the reproduction of the variety 
CONGO does not do it complete justice, for it is 
without doubt the finest early flowering coppery 
bronze variety available today. 
WHITE GOLD is an outstanding white, later 
blooming than MORNING STAR and presenting 
a delightful color combination of white and yellow. 

MORNING STAR is extremely early and can be ~ouge Afsersley nite cor 
used for landscape effects to great advantage. 
The variety AFTERGLOW is outstanding for its color when 
opening or half open, and should be used primarily as a 
cut flower because it is our experience that it loses a good 
bit of its beauty when fully open, and may be rather dis- 
appointing if allowed to develop fully without cutting. Like- 
wise we should like to add that MORNING STAR should be 
cut before fully opened, for it has the disappointing habit 
of turning pink when fully blown. 
We include these comments as a service to those who are 
unacquainted with these varieties, for they are of such 
quality and value that we would not like to have the enjoy- 
ment of growing these impaired by unforseen developments 
such as we described. 
DePETRIS HYBRID CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
HAVE A WONDERFUL HERITAGE 
The strength and constitution of this new strain has been 
developed by cross-breeding between various closely related 
species including the Arcticums, Koreans, Nipponicums, 
Rubellums and other species. Their hardiness and disease 
resistance is traceable to the Arcticum and Nipponicum 
blood. The lovely colors can be attributed to the Korean 
bloom, and the inclusion of Rubellum blood has produced 
earliness as well.
