COMMERCIAL CHRYSANTHEMUMS FOR 1950 
Commercial Chrysanthemums are grown for the cut-flower market and Florist trade. The earliest of these, such as Silver Sheen, 
Hilda Bergen, Lustre, etc., will flower satisfactorily in the garden for amateur growers. When grown outdoors we cannot 
guarantee them to be entirely hardy, so we would suggest that after flowering, the roots be lifted and carried over in a cold 
frame or root cellar until the following spring. 
Price: 50c per plant, $5.00 per dozen, $35.00 per 100 
Marketeer—White; one of the best known of the com- 
mercial market varieties. Flowering November 18th.

stiff, upright stem. Flowers 7 inches in diameter by Octo- 
ber 15th from buds selected August 25th. Height, 4 feet. 
Oak Leaf—A standard reddish bronze variety, flowering 
November 25th. Reminds one very much of the coloring 
of the oak leaves in the fall from which it derives its 
name. 
Orange Gem—A tightly incurved commercial of clear 
orange bronze with nice dark leathery green foliage. An 
extremely strong grower and has the added advantage 
of holding the color in the flower for a very long period, 
and does not shatter at any time. Height, 3'/ feet.

ular Gladys Pierson, ‘blooming for Thanksgiving.’’ No-

Duchess—A decorative rose-pink with silvery reverse. The

tractive. The center of the flower is creamy pink and
