CANARY WONDER 
These are the last five originations of the 
late Alex Cumming, the master hybridizer of 
Mums and other hardy perennials. 
ALEX CUMMING. Mammoth, colorful, 
vigorous—1952’s Wonder Mum! Superbly 
molded, 4-inch flowers open entrancingly 
rich, pure cerise and gently mature to de- 
lightful rose color. Majestic blooms incurve 
at the center and recurve at the petal tips. 
Exotic as a big greenhouse Mum. A 2%- 
foot eyeful from early October on. 
CANARY WONDER. One of the most ra- 
diant gems. Breathtaking, unmatched soft 
canary-primrose- -yellow—absolutely the only 
pompon of its color. Perfection personified, JUBILEE. A sturd 
with 1 14-inch balls literally swarming over a Y> 
columnar, 214-foot bush. Magnificent sprays 
to cut. Mid- September on. 
SPINDRIFT 
18-inch plant, a mass of 
glowing red from late September on. Livens the 
yard for weeks. Informal 14-inch pompons be- 
come clear deep red after the opening hint of 
FASCINATION. A huge, lovely decorative crimson mellows. Splendid for bedding and 
4 inches across or more, of stunning silvery bunching. 
lavender-pink with centers a wee bit deeper. 
As further charm, it offers an occasional SPINDRIFT. Lusciously double, 3-inch decorative, 
bloom of misty, creamy white. A paragon of with a tiny hint of cactus pete ul: age, flaring faintly 
beauty from late September on, when deep like a dahlia. As pure white as any Mum; a 
rosy red buds swell so enticingly. Often creamy center softens it deliciously. Stocky, 
only one gigantic flower to a stem. Pro- 18 to 24-inch plant splendid for short-stemmed 
bouquets. Early October.
