THE POPULAR SPOON ‘MUMS

Chrysanthemum which deserves a place in

ance and brilliant color combinations will add 
a note of “delightful novelty” to your garden. 
The individual flower petals are quilled or 
tubular for most of their length, flattening

a tiny spoon. Plants are hary and vigorous 
growers. Bear a profusion of blooms during 
late fall.
