WHY I HAVE INSTRUCTED OUR SHIPPING DEPARTMENT TO SEND YOU OUR NEWEST EXPERIMENTAL 
GIANT BIRD MUM No. 49-1249--ABSOLUTELY FREE! 
Dear Friend: 
I have just finished reading our Research Department's final report on the 
completed tests of a truly remarkable new chrysanthemum——known to us as Plant No. 
49-1249. 
I have rarely seen such an all-out endorsement of any of our plants—-—and since 
this new mum created such a stir among our own experienced, veteran hybridizers, I 
just felt I had to tell you all about it. 
Well, just what is so special about Plant No. 49-1249? For one thing, its 
color. Normally, it takes only two or three words on the Final Test Report to de- 
Scrive,a plant’s color:..but not in this case. For Plant No. 49-1249 is not one 
Single color, two colors or even different shades of the same color--but a fascinating 
combination of all the most glorious colors of Autumn! 
ALL THE COLORS OF AUTUMN--ON THIS ONE MUM! 
Yes, on this one single plant, you have all the most popular Fall colors... 
bronze, gold, yellow, buff, burnt-orange...ALL ON EACH PETAL OF THE PLANT AT THE SAME 
TIME. That's right. There's no fading from one color into another--every single 
petal captures and displays the whole spectacle of Autumn simultaneously. I've seen 
this Mum blooming in our experimental greenhouses——and it's absolutely breathtaking! 
Then there's its exquisite form...perfectly symmetrical...with beautifully 
frilled petals. And it's a FULL Flower--the Report states that there are OVER 250 
PETALS ON EVERY SINGLE BLOOM. Imagine that! 250 petals-—-each one brilliant with the 
full color range of Autumn. 
As for size--it produces blooms up to 4 full inches across—-—TWICE AS BIG as the 
ordinary garden mum most of your neighbors grow. Yes, 4" across—-big enough to make 
it eligible for membership in our world-famous series of Giant Bird Mums...a strain 
acclaimed by gardeners everywhere as being the biggest, hardiest garden mums ever 
created...an amazing strain of Giant Mums that start blooming much earlier than 
ordinary mums, yet keep blooming right up to Thanksgiving! 
THIS NEW MULTI-COLORED MUM IS YOURS-—-ABSOLUTELY FREE! 
Honestly, I really wish each and every one of you could come to visit me this 
Fall, and actually see this glorious new Mum burst into bloom in our fields. For I 
know that once you see it, you won't want to be without it. 
But since it's impossible for all of you to come here, I'd like to do the next 
best thing. I want to send you, ABSOLUTELY FREE, one of these new Mum plants. You 
see, we have a few thousand of them now which we grew for experimental purposes...
