Mr. Glenn Viehmeyer of the Nebraska North Platte Substation is 
creating some Mums that withstand the severe conditions they have 
at North Platte, proving entirely hardy there and also withstanding 
the early frosts and freezes. We have tested them at Hamburg and 
found them to be outstanding. We offer six varieties, convinced that 
their freedom of bloom, colorful flowers, the healthy, vigorous plants 
and the frost and freeze resistance, will make them very popular. 
M 811 Arapahoe—Very large double flowers 4 to 5 inches across, es- 
pecially if disbudded. Color is a rich red with bronze reverse and the 
petals are long with a slight waviness adding to its attractiveness. 
Strong upright plants, 3 feet tall, with dark green foliage. Stands up 
against wind and rain. Withstands as low as 29° with no injury to 
flowers. In fact it has stood 7° below freezing with very slight damage 
to the flowers and buds. That means it will give you lovely flowers 
after normal frosts, or slight freezes. 
M 821 Cody—Grows only about a foot tall and 18 to 24 inches wide. 
Ideal for borders, or a solid bed. Starts blooming in late summer and 
continues right up to cold weather withstanding frosts and light 
freezes. The 2 inch flowers completely cover the plant. The color is 
a lovely rosy-lavender with a white center. Does not fade but becomes 
even more attractive as flowers age. 
M 835 WLeshara— Makes a very bushy, well-branched plant around 
24 inches tall that is completely covered with the fully double flowers, 
2 to 21 inches across. The color is a charming mulberry red which be- 
comes old rose as it ages, always attractive. The flowers are not dam- 
aged by frosts, in fact they will withstand down to 25°. 
M 849 White Cloud—This is certainly a magnificent Mum, a solid 
mass of white from mid-September to hard freezing. Makes a bushy 
plant around 30 inches tall. Flowers are double, 3 to 4 inches across. 
It withstands frosts, showing very little injury at 29°. 
M 850 W. P. Smyder— Described and pictured on page 66. However 
the flowers are not as red as pictured. The color is a very attractive 
blending of tangerine, rose and golden-buff, one of the brightest 
flowers in our fields. The blooms are very double, 214 to 3 inches 
across. Very free bloomer.

troduced by us last spring. It has the longest blooming season and is 
the free-est bloomer we know. Starts blooming in mid-summer and 
never stops until severe frosts. The 2 to 244 inch flowers are an orchid- 
- pink, greatly resembling Pyrethrum blooms. Brings beauty to the 
garden for so many weeks and their long stems make them extra fine 
for cutting. Makes a rounded perfect plant a little over 2 feet tall and

hardy with us. Plant a group of 3 and you can cut a bouquet almost
