lardy Chrysanthemums 
The Joseph F. Martin Co.’s New Introductions 
CONTRAST NEW FOR 1948 A distinct de- 
parture. In the field, despite the 
literally endless array of varieties around them, plants of 
Contrast were marked different everywhere they were 
shown. It grows with a character quite different than any- 
thing that we are accustomed to. Instead of the convention- 
al mound formed by semi-low growing types, a bowl-like 
effect is achieved, a flat mass across the top and a cascade 
of bloom to the ground. The duplex flowers are a har- 
monious contrast with every soft rose petal tipped yellow. 
It is a strong sturdy grower, coming in around the first 
week in September.

NABOB NEW FOR 1948! A rich, exotic soft pur- 
ple with a metallic sheen that brings it 
to the “plastique” shades used so effectively in modern 
decoration. There is absolutely no hint of magenta either 
in the prime bloem or the fading flower. It grows medium 
tall and the deep, lush, forest green foliage, growing to the 
ground, is a complimentary frame for the abundance of 
very rich flowers.

A new mum-color too—a sa- 
DRAGON LAD tin smooth Chinese Red, more 
striking than Caliph, deeper than Red Velvet. Starting mid- 
September, it bloomed continuously for six week and didn’t 
fade a shade. Mature flowers develop spoon tips. Foliage is 
an outstanding deep green, almost black, extra large, bright 
as waxed leather. It is a decorative growing bush, and a 
red mass in bloom.

JAYEFF Flowers are huge, 4 inches and more in true 
diameter, fully double, no centers. The

straight stems by the dozens, no pinching. Grows to 2 ft., 
vigorous and healthy, bushy. Flowers appear here from the 
15th of September and bear without fading until severe frost.

REDCOAT NEW FOR 1948! As hardy as the 
men it pays tribute and as brilliant 
as the uniforms they wear. A strong sturdy grower re- 
sisting with casual abandon the culprits that take their toll 
from others less sturdy. Flowers are a really new red in 
Chrysanthemums. Vermilion is the closest comparison. 
Fully double, they appear on strong yet succulent stems 
growing medium high in profusion. This one will be a 
leader par excellence for years to come.

NANKEEN NEW FOR 1948! A medium tall 
golden cushion. Only the growth 
characteristics bring it into the cushion classification. The 
flowers are completely different from any appearing on the 
cushion varieties. They are fully double, tightly knit, and 
exhibit no center even in their late stages. The color is 
that of polished old gold, and, in the direct sun it is flushed 
with a shimmering sheen that makes a group planting a 
lively dynamic scene.

of the new group. True Grand- 
mothers light pink, a bursting shower of fully double, 3 inch

in quantity 2/2 ft. in perfect symmetry. Excellent cut- 
flowers, blooms first week in September, and the fresh pink 
flowers do not fade for weeks.

SALUTE A perfect deep purple, the memorial tri- 
bute shade, dedicated to our memories. 
Soft and fluffy, yet so double the petals seem to be woven 
into a tight knit to accommodate them all. It is small, ex- 
tremely bushy, growing to 12 inches and is completely cover- 
ed with mellow, deeply satisfying blooms so profuse that the 
foliage is completely hidden. Blooms first week in Septem- 
ber and continues for weeks without fading. It’s wonder- 
ful, born only for the purpose it so clearly serves.
