The twist and 
curls of these 
| blooms are very 
similar to the twist 
and curls on the 
little girl’s head 
pictured fo the 
right, which 
‘prompted ime to 
name this after my 
first Grand- 
daughter, 
This new curly-headed Hardy. Chrysanthemum, in our opinion, is the most 
beautiful and most satisfactory outdoor Mum yet introduced. The flowers are 
extremely large for an outdoor blooming variety, averaging 3 to 314 inches 
across with 5 to 6 blooms on a single stem. If desired you can ae much larger 
blooms by disbudding the side shoots and leaving only one bloom in the center. 
When the buds first appear, they seem like a little ball of butter but as they 
unfold, twist and curl, they expand to a beautiful white with a tinge of lemon- 
yellow in the center making a contrasting color different than any other Mum. 
The plant is a vigorous grower, averaging 28” to 36” tall, deep green foliage, 
attractive leaves making ‘a beautiful contrast between the blooms and foliage. 
Come into bloom forepart of September, furnishing an array of blossoms until 
severe freezing weather sets in. Ideal for garden display and unexcelled to cut 
for bouquets, to give to a sick friend and to beautify your own living room.
