This was introduced several years 
ago and has proven to be one of 
the finest of perennial plants. 
Fhardy Rubellum Chrysanthemums 
At the Chrysanthemum Trials held by the Royal Horticultural Society in September, 1949, these 
beautiful varieties were honored with the AWARD OF MERIT. They are of particularly neat habit, 
each plant forming into a symmetrical bush, which, when in full bloom—with its masses of flowers 
—appears as delightful bouquet often three feet or more across. They are perfectly hardy and 
good perennials, ideal for border, bedding and cutting—a bunch of Duchess of Edinburgh remained 
in perfect condition in our office for over three weeks when cut last September. Culture: Same as 
Shasta Daisy. rath :

inches high in such numbers that 
the plants look like solid mounds 
of pink. After a short rest period 
in the fall the plants may be dug 
up in early winter, potted, dnd 
forced into bloom in February and 
March. They make splendid pot 
plants. The habit of Chrysanthe- 
mum Clara Curtis is spreading.

18 to 24 inches across. It is per- 
fectly hardy anywhere and not par- 
ticular as to soil or location.

all of its finé characteristics. 
Chrysanthemum CArcticum Hybrids (Northland Daisies ) 
Astrid (Imperial) Each 70c, Three $1.70, Doz. $5.50 
Astrid is a hybrid of the extremely hardy species, C. Arcticum, and 
the first hybrid of this variety to be introduced. The single, daisy-like 
flowers are three inches or more in diameter, and are a lovely shade of 
shell-pink, warmed with old rose tints, with a bright yellow center. The 
plants have attractive light green foliage, not bothered by diseases or 
insects. It is the hardiest hybrid Daisy we know of, having come 
through many severe winters without protection and without damage. 
Good Morning Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65 
A fine soft yellow form of Astrid. Its beautiful, sparkling, soft yellow, 
daisy-like flowers cover the plant completely, and, like Astrid, it is 
as hardy as an Oak. 
English Lilliput Chrysanthemums 
These were imported by us a few years ago and have been carefully 
tested. Their outstanding merit is compactness of growth and neat- 
ness of habit. They form mounds about 10 inches high and 
about 15 to 18 inches across. When in bloom all foliage is covered 
with flowers, each one as perfect in shape and form as if it were 
grown in a greenhouse. Rain and snow which so often damage 
Chrysanthemum flowers do not bother the Lilliputs. We are sure you 
will like these new Mums.

Perfectly formed rose-pink blooms about 2 inches across. Grows into 
a perfect mound of color about 10 inches high and 15 inches across.

double golden yellow flowers which are about 3 inches across. Each

that of several golden stars. Very hardy and early blooming, not over 
10 inches high. Received the Award of Merit at the Royal Horticultural 
Show in London. 
Redbreast Each $1.00. Three $2.55, Doz. $7.25

inches high. It received an Award of Merit at the National Chrysanthe-

Spider ano Spoon 
Chrysanthemums 
Charm Spoon Each 75c, Three. $1.80, Doz. $5.65 
Airy graceful flowers of a rich Rhodamine red which turns to a soft 
dusty rose. An excellent flower and probably the best in this color. 
Orchid Spoon Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65 
The orchid shaded, spoon-like flower petals are well spaced and of 
generous size and substantial enough to withstand bad weather. It is 
perhaps the most interesting of the Spoon Mums. 
Peggy Ann Hoover (Bird of Paradise Mum) : 
Each $1.00, Three $2.55, Doz. $7.25 
There are not many of the Bird .of Paradise Type Mums which can be 
grown tn a garden. Peggy Ann Hoover, however, has wintered over 
with us now for several years and we consider it among the hardiest. 
Its lovely thin pendulant and curving flower petals are pink and 
make a most unusual showing both in the aarden as well as cut. Blooms 
in October. About 3 feet high. 
Golden Spoon Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65 
This highly deserves its place as a leading Spoon type. The flowers 
are large in the reqular order; the color is a clear gold tone. Habit 
and other characteristics are similar. 
Jasper Spoon Each 75c, Three $1.80. Doz. $5.65 
A complement to the novel and popular Spoon group. Flower form is 
compact with the rays and flattened tips closely placed. Color is a 
bright bronze-red overtone, mottled on a brilliant gold relief that is 
the principal color effect. 
Rose Spoon Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65 
A really different Mum color, a soft shining rose that defies descrip- 
tion. Flowers 3 to 4 inches across, and other habits are Proportion- 
ately larger than others in the Spoon group.
