Hardy Chrysanthemums— 3 Bristol Novelties for 1948 
Carnival. Distinct among its garden com- 
panions throughout the long 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 blooms, 34% inches across, carried 
on long, slender, nicely branched sprays, are 
perfect for cut arrangements, and the heavily 
branched plant is amazingly productive. 
With dark green foliage carried right down to 
the ground, the plant alone is a garden orna- 
ment. 214 to 3 ft. October 10. 3 for $2.75; 
12 for $10.00; $1.00 each. 
Karl A. Reiche. This trim, tidy little pompon, 
tested over several years under all conditions, 
soil and weather, is without question one of 
the most durable and hardy of all garden 
pompons. It is a densely branched, erect- 
growing, shapely, 2-foot plant loaded with 
bloom from late Genter bee on, surviving the 
killing frosts that mar other varieties. The 
color is a unique art blending of old-rose, red, 
mauve and ripe strawberry shades. Dese erves 
its own special spot in the garden. 3 for $2.00; 
12 for $7.50; 75c each. 
Mellow Glow. 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 im its 
color. A sturdy, upright-growing, nice green 
plant with an abundance of 2% to 3-inch, full 
double blooms on well-branched sprays. Splen- 
did for cutting. 2144 ft. October 5. 3 for $2.00; 
12 for $7.50; 75c each.
