CHRYSANTHEMUM, DEE DEE AHRENS 
THE MINNESOTA GROUP 
Here are offered twenty-four new varieties of garden 
Chrysanthemums developed by Prof. L. E. Longley at 
the University of Minnesota. They are admirably 
adapted to locations subject to early frosts because of 
their extra early flowering habit, long blooming period, 
unusual colors and high degree of hardiness. All are 
suitable for cutting and have long-lasting qualities as 
cut flowers. Time of planting has some influence on 
earliness of bloom.

We are propagating all varieties of Chrysanthe- 
mums originated at the University of Minnesota 
by Dr. Longley.
