ALL CHRYSANTHEMUMS, 5Q0c EACH; $5.00 PER DOZ., EXCEPT AS NOTED 

COLPRIT’S 
ARCTICUM HYBRIDS 
All Chrysanthemums, 50c each; 
$5.00 per doz., except as noted. 
COCHECO 
A new and unique type, compact in habit. 
Florets similar to those of the Cushion Mums 
but the plant is upright, with none of the 
floppiness seen in these varieties. The un- 
folding buds are purplish in color, opening 
to a most brilliant orchid-pink; they remain in 
good condition for several weeks, being re- 
markably frost resistant. In profusion of 
bloom it surpasses any Chrysanthemum we 
have seen. Blooms in September. 

KING PHILIP 
The large, scarlet-red, single blooms of 
this brand-new variety have made it the most 
brilliant spot in our display ground. It is a 
startling color, which never fails to attract 
attention. The plant is compact in habit and 
blooms in late September. 75c each. 
OLD DOVER 
This hybrid retains many of the qualities 
of its Arcticum parent. The large, semi- 
double blooms are a pleasing blend of yellow 
and bronze. The plant is dwarf, about 10 
inches, with healthy dark green foliage, and 
is extremely hardy. It is a continuous bloomer 
from early summer to hard freezing weather. 
PUNCHINELLO 
Award of Merit, Massachusetts Horticul- 
tural Society, 1947. Something entirely new 
in Chrysanthemums. The plant, which is 
well clothed with dark green foliage, is only 
8 inches tall but may attain a spread of as 
much asl8 inches. The small, densely double 
pompons are a beautiful pink with salmon 
shadings at the center. Blooms in early Sep- 
tember. 75c each. 
TOCSIN 
We offer this for the first time. Fiery red 
with carmine undertones, this variety brings 
a lot of color to the late fall garden. A pro- 
fusion of medium-sized, double blooms 
smothers the cushion-type plant in October. 
75c each. 
WINNIPESAUKEE 
Fully double pompons in great profusion 
in late September. Coral-red at first but grad- 
ually changing to deep glowing salmon, these 
blooms retain their beauty for a long season. 
Plants make dense mounds about 18 inches 
across and 2 feet high. 
COLPRIT’S 
KOREAN HYBRIDS 
These Korean Hybrids also originated at 
Colprit’s Nursery. They are taller than the 
Arcticum Hybrids and therefore are very de- 
sirable for cutting or for growing at the back 
of the border. These have also been selected 
for hardiness and should be reliable wherever 
Chrysanthemums can be grown. 
ARBUTUS 
Large aster-type Mum with the delicate 
pink of the trailing arbutus or mayflower. 
From early September on. 
GOOD SPORT 
Clusters of large, light yellow blooms on 
tall, straight stems. Semi-double to double. 
Late September and October. 
KLONDIKE GOLD 
Very double, deep golden yellow; exceed- 
ingly frost resistant. Good for cutting when 
other varieties have been ruined by freezing 
weather. October and November. 
TREASURE TROVE 
Small, clear yellow flowers on stiff stems. 
A real treasure for cutting. Late September. 
Single Hardy Mums 
Among our Arcticum Hybrids we have 
many single and semi-double variations that 
have great merit. Some of them will eventu- 
ally be introduced as named varieties. At 
present we offer them as a collection of 
unnamed singles at $2.00 for six. 
University of New 
Hampshire Mums 
EXETER. Clusters of large, double, bronzy 
yellow flowers. Plant very vigorous and 
spreading. September and October. 
FRANCONIA. Bronze pompon with great 
substance. An improved Early Bronze. 
Cuts well and lasts for a long season. Sep- 
tember. 
LACONIA. Very early, aster-type yellow 
with light bronze shadings. Should be 
pinched once or twice for best results. 
August and September. 
SUNAPEE. Clear golden yellow, fully double 
blooms. A tall grower producing a wealth 
of cutting material. Our surplus blooms 
have found a ready market with florists and 
commission merchants. Mid-September. 
Other Hardy 
Chrysanthemums 
All Chrysanthemums, 50c each; 
$5.00 per doz., except as noted. 
AVALANCHE. Large, well-formed flowers. 
A fine white for late September. 
BUTTERCUP. A fine yellow Mum. Early 
September. 
COURAGEOUS. Large, double, dark ruby- 
red. The best dark red.

ings. Large and of good form. Blooms in 
September.

great favorite. It combines well with clear 
yellows. September.
