ASHES OF ROSES 
A completely distinct and different color never before seen in Mums 
and we are frank to admit we can’t describe it, neither does the color 
plate do it justice. Visitors call it rich old rose or rose ash with soft 
salmon-apricot overtones. The point is there is nothing like it in Mums 
nor have we seen this rare iridescent color or anything like it on any 
other flowers in our nursery. We consider Ashes of Roses the choicest 
and most distinct Mum in our collection. It flowers more freely than 
most varieties, blooms cover the plant completely; starts blooming in 
September and keeps on until frost. Flowers are fully double, about 3 
inches across. Height about 21 feet. 
Each $1.25, Three $3.05, Doz. $9.50 
Autumn Rose Each $1.25, Three $3.05, Doz. $9.50 
This variety is a companion to Ashes of Roses and it is just about as 
difficult to describe. It seems to be a blending of coral, rose, jasper- 
red with soft buff undertones yet sparkles with shades of shrimp-pink. 
Never have we seen a color or tint as rare as this in other flowers in 
Our nursery. The flowers are of medium size, about two inches in 
diameter, and occur in clusters or open bunches on top of the stem. 
The flowers are fully double and lend themselves especially well in 
tewar arrangements. Starts blooming early September. Height two 
eet. 
Avalanche 
Queen of all whites is this big, fluffy, handsome Mum. 
5 inches across, perfectly formed. Full flower late September. 
18-20 inches.

Betty Each 70c. Three $1.70, Doz. $5.50 
Very lovely, full double pink of unusual shade, combining peach-pink 
and old rose; one of the finest and nearest to pink in Mums. Good 
pink Chrysanthemums are few. Here is one of the best. A decided 
improvement in habit over Pink Radiance. Blooms in early October. 
Vigorous 2-foot plant. 
Burma Each 70c, Three 1.70, Doz. $5.59 
Beautifully modelled blossoms, glistening light havana-bronze, with 
undertones of soft old gold and faint old rose simply cover the shapely, 
heavily branched, 2-foot plant by late September. The distinctive rich 
green foliage acquires its fine texture from the little known species 
C. Nipponicum which has been successfully bred into the Korean 
Hybrid strain. 
Carnival Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65 
At the moment we believe this to be one of the three most brilliant 
Mums. ‘Glowing burnt orange’’ best describes the play of bronze, red 
and golden bronze shades; literally, it gleams. The full double blossoms, 
31% inches across, carried on long, slender, nicely branched sprays are 
perfect for cut arrangements; the heavily branched plant amazingly 
free and productive. The lusty, dark green foliage is carried right down 
to the ground; the plant alone is a garden ornament. Height 21/2-3 feet. 
Charles Nye Each 70c, Three $1.70, Doz. $5.50 
A neat, upright, 18 to 24-inch plant. Fully double, rounded flowers of 
rich Buttercup-yellow and firm substance, 2 to 21/4 inches across. Blooms 
end of Sept., very free and long-lasting. One of the favorite yellows. 
Chippewa Each 70c, Three $1.70, Doz. $5.50 
Absolutely distinct is the new rich Aster-purple color and it’s an early 
blooming, free flowering, bushy, 2-foot plant. Semi-double, mid-size 
bloom. Very striking. 
Greenhouse- Sype Mums Outdoors! 
We offer four varieties of Chrysanthemums which with a _ little 
special treatment will produce flowers of exceptional proportions, 
almost as large as those grown in greenhouses by professional florists. 
Here is how it is done. When the plants are growing vigorously, 
remove all but four or six of the strongest stems; this is usually done 
in late August. Next permit the remaining stems to grow and produce 
flower buds but when the flower buds are about one-half to three- 
fourths inch in diameter, remove all but one, permit the nicest looking 
bud to remain on the stem. Nothing more needs to be done but watch 
it develop into a huge flower. 
In order to give you a fair idea of what the blooms look like, we 
could only get three flowers into our illustration. The variety Mrs. 
Arnold Gathol, a beautiful clear yellow, was omitted. 
The four varieties recommended for this purpose are: 
Mrs. Sam P. Rotan. Russet. 
Mrs. Arnold Gathol. Yellow. 
Jayeff. Deep pink. 
Sawyer’s Giant. Lavender.
