Price: 50¢e per plant, $5.00 per doz., $35.00 per 100, except where noted 
Brilliance—Bright maize tubular petals opening at the tips to 
a gleaming grenadine-red. Fine erect flowers in a most un- 
usual color for Chrysanthemums. Grand grower and will be 
talked about for many years to come. 
Cathay—A very beautiful, large flowered Spoon variety. The 
petal is a lovely shade of old copper with a very brilliant red 
spoon or tip. The flowers of this variety resemble in form and 
character the Oriental or Threadlike type. It is in full bloom 
with us about November 15th. 
Celestial Beauty—The quilled petals are amaranth with the 
spoon tips opening to a stunning shade of Dubonnet. A tall 
grower averaging about 40 inches in height. This variety 
must be disbudded to single stem 3 or 4 flowers to a plant 
for best results. The flowers average about 7 inches across. 
Matures November 15. Price: $1.50 per plant, $15.00 per 
dozen. 
Chop Stick—A very lovely, full flowered Spoon variety which 
also greatly resembles the Oriental type in character. Its 
broad petals are of a brilliant gold with a rich henna-red 
spoon. We found it to be a fairly tall grower and a most un- 
usual variety. Will be in full bloom by November 12th.

Eight 
Chung King—Salmon bronze with yellow reverse—flowers 
about 3 inches across produced in graceful sprays. Small 
spoon of deeper salmon pink at edge of petals. Resembles 
“Threadlike” type of Mum. Rather a tall grower, excellent 
for disbudding. Flowering October 25th. 
Dierdre—A very novel double Spoon Chrysanthemum with 
flowers two or three inches across of deep raspberry-pink 
tipped silver. These plants attain a height of about 18 inches 
and are ideal for solid bed or pot plant work. Their bright 
yellow center contrasts beautifully with this very unusual 
shade of flower. Very prolific in growth. 
Fugi (The Wisteria)—The largest of the entire set; pale 
lavender in color. November 15th. 
Jasper Spoon—A very unusual shade of crushed strawberry 
pink at the tip with lighter pink tubular center. 
Luana Patten—One of the handsomest of the recent Spoon 
introductions. Flowers are produced on graceful sprays with 
short, brilliant red quills, opening to a very broad old gold 
spoon on the tip. The individual flowers are about 3 inches 
across and the reverse side of the petal is of exceptionally 
brilliant color. An excellent cut flower and particularly suit- 
able for arrangement or decorative work. Matures November 
10th. Height 3 to 3% feet. 
Mamoru—A dark orange quilled Chrysanthemum, increasing 
in depth of color towards the center. Fine, strong stem and 
abundant foliage. Of fine keeping quality. Medium height. 
Matures October 30th. 
Ohkwan—Fine tubular petals of rich lemon yellow growing on 
strong stems with excellent foliage. One of the older varie- 
ties in the Spidery type but maturing around November Ist. 
Oriental Knight—Rich garnet red, spoon very full, flowers 
fairly broad, petals with small spoon of same shading at the 
tips. Closely resembles Feathery type in habit of growth. 
Rather a tall grower. In full flower November 20th. 
Unique—A flower that is well named for it is the most unique 
Chrysanthemum we have to present to our customers. The 
color is rich wine red and the thin quilled petal stand stiffly 
out from the center of the flower making it the largest of 
any spidery variety introduced. A tall grower, and for this 
reason should be planted late. 
Virginia—Clear deep yellow with long quilled petals which 
open at the tips and reflect to about twice the width of the 
petals on the balance of the flower. Can be either disbudded 
to make large individual flowers, or grown in sprays. Grown 
either way, it is most attractive. November 20th. 
White Spoon—A dazzling white with no shadings whatever. 
Yellow Frieda—This is one of the handsomest of the brilliant 
yellow Anemones, when grown disbudded on sprays or as 
an individual large flower. The very lovely clear yellow 
outer petals are very much longer than those surrounding 
the disc, and make a most graceful flower, when fully 
finished. Matures first week in November. Height 5 ft. 
Yellow Spoon—A bright buttercup yellow.
