Wide publicity of Dr. E. J. Kraus of the University of Chicago and 
his Mum breeding work started the current wave of popularity of that 
flower. At about the same time Dr. L. E. Longley of the University of 
Minnesota introduced a similar group based on early flowering and dwarf 
habits so that between the two plant breeders we have been given the 
privilege of enjoying a riot of colors in our fall gardens.
