BRISTOL CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Here at Bristol, the “Birthplace” of the Hybrid Korean 
G hrysanthemum which proved such a vital factor in 
the complete renaissance of the old-fashioned hardy 
mum, the watchword is always “Better Plants for your 
Hardy Garden.” 
This in a large way is why the ‘““Hardy Chrysanthe- 
mum” now enjoys a gorgeously magnificent season all 
its own; bringing a new wealth of color to your garden 
long before and for weeks and weeks after frost has 
largely destroyed all other hardy flowers. 
Here at Bristol the rugged qualities of the wild species, 
C. Coreanum and C. Arcticum, were first bred into the 
older garden kinds. Now, another Bristol first is being 
felt through the use of C. Nipponicum in the varieties 
Burma, Magnolia, Mellow Glow and the crowning glory 
of all, “Carnival,” sure to occupy a first place among 
the truly great Mums of Bristol. 
Look to Bristol for worth-while introductions. 
THE MOST BRILLIANT 
MUM OF ALL 
(37-45 CPK) (Illustrated on Front Cover). Conspicuously 
distinct among its garden companions throughout the 
Jong Mum season is this gay newcomer. “Glowing burnt 
orange’ best describes the play of bronze, red and 
golden bronze shades; literally, it gleams. 
The full double blossoms, 31%” across, carried on long, 
slender, nicely branched sprays are perfect for cut ar- 
rangements; the heavily branched plant amazingly free 
and productive. Inheriting from its Nipponicum* line- 
age, lusty, dark green foliage carried right down to the 
ground, the plant alone is a garden ornament. In full 
bloom Oct. 10. Height: 2144-3 feet. 
Carnival, we feel sure, will be another Bristol ‘“‘all- 
time favorite; the brightest thing in the fall garden. 
Price: 3 for $2.75, $10.00 per dozen, $1.00 each 


A BLENDED BEAUTY FOR 1948 GARDENS 
(16-45C. N. K.) Mellow indeed is this matchless suffusion of soft orange 
buff, peach pink and bronze nasturtium tints. Briefly, it is a “bronze 
with personality’ and by far the most appealing Mum we have seen 
in its color. Again the Nipponicum ancestry has contributed a sturdy, 
upright growing, rich green plant with an abundance of 21-3 inch full 
double blossoms on well-branched sprays. In full bloat Oct. Sth: 
Height: 21% feet. Cuts beautifully. 
Price: 3 for $2.00, $7.50 per dozen, 75 cts. each 
*C. Nipponicum—A woody leathery leaved species of little garden value. 

LONG LIVED—LONG IN BLOOM 
(11-40 CPK) This trim, tidy, little pompon tested over 
several years under all conditions, soils and weathers is 
without question one of the most durable and hardy of all 
garden pompons. 
It is a densely branched, erect growing, shapely, 2 ft. 
plant; loaded with blossoms from late September on—sur- 
viving the killing frosts which mar other kinds. 
The color, Rose Bengal technically, is a unique art blend- 
ing of old rose, red, mauve and ripe strawberry shades; and 
deserving of its own special spot in the garden. 
Named for Bristol’s popular and efficient school super- 
intendent, a bit of a rugged individual in his own right. 
Price: 3 for $2.00, $7.50 per dozen, 75 cts. each
