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.

age. They resemble those of Harmony, but are 
larger, more double, and brighter.

fusion on long stems suitable for cutting. In cool 
weather the flowers take on a pinkish tinge. The 
plant is strong and of medium height. 
Butterball. Low, compact plant with flowers borne 
freely on moderately long stems. The flowers are 
ball-like in form, with rays incurved, 24 inches in

bronze-flowered variety, although the color of the 
flowers on the same plant varies from yellow to

becomes Brazil-red. At times all the colors are
