Dr. L. E. Longley’s hardy Mum breeding work is known. all 
over America. Andrews is proud to present the University of 
Minnesota’s plant breeder’s two 1947 introductions here with 
other introductions in the list below. 
BRILLIANT. Of the cushion type, very compact, covered with a mass of 
double, flat flowers with rather narrow rays, bright Brazil-red, and 24% inches 
in diameter. Resembles Aurora except that it is more double and brighter 
red. Midseason. 3 for $1.50; 60c each, prepaid. 
SILVER PINK. An upright growing plant of medium height with the double 
flowers borne in large clusters on long stems. The 24-inch flowers are a 
soft Amaranth-pink to Tyrian-pink with a silvery sheen. A good cut flower 
type. Blooms early to midseason. 3 for $1.50; 60c each, prepaid. 
BEST OF THE OLDER INTRODUCTIONS 
AURORA. One of the newer Dr. Longley Mums which opens red and changes 
to a good bronze. The double flowers open early and are borne on dwarf 
plants. Blooms about August 28th. 3 for $1.20; 45c each, prepaid. 
BUTTERBALL. .A dwarf, butter-yellow, double hardy Mum that flowers 
about Aug. 12th. Suitable for garden, border or window box. 3 for $1.05; 
40c each, prepaid. 
CHIPPEWA. The large Aster-purple flowers often reach 3 inches in diameter. 
The plant grows to medium height, blooms about Sept. 4th. A good color 
and good as background for dwarfer kinds. 3 for $1.05; 40c each, prepaid. 
DEE DEE AHRENS. One of the newer whites that closely resembles the 
florists’ pompon in form. The double flowers are borne on stiff stems. 
Dwarf. Blooms about Aug. 28th. 3 for $1.20; 45c each, prepaid. 
GLACIER. Another early pure white hardy Mum, with larger and looser 
flowers than Dee Dee Ahrens. This dwarf variety blooms about Sept. 2nd. 
3 for $1.05; 40c each, prepaid. 
MAROON ‘‘N’? GOLD. The large bright mahogany flowers fade as they 
open to a bronzy gold, making a wonderful contrast on each plant. Very 
free flowering, a dwarf. Blooms about Aug. 26th. 3 for $1.20; 45c each, 
prepaid. 
RED GOLD. One of the brightest colored hardy Mums. The flowers open 
red and fade to a beautiful shade of orange-gold. Double flowers of a medium 
size cover the medium height plants. Flowers about Aug. 26th. 3 for $1.05; 
40c each, prepaid. 
VIOLET. A new fully double deep purple flower of the pompon type. It holds 
its color well and is excellent in the garden or potted. The dwarf plants 
flower about Aug. 26th. 3 for $1.35; 50c each, prepaid. 
All hardy Mums need winter protection in northern states. They should be 
planted in well-drained locations, for rotting out over winter claims more plants 
than cold temperatures. A shovel full of sand over each clump has proven to 
be one of the best protections. 
Because Mums are not dormant they cannot be shipped as early as can shrubs 
and trees that are dormant. They will be shipped in May when the danger of 
frost is past.
