Rosefone Mohave Gold, top Butterscotch 
‘These 3 outstanding new Mums were named by America’s plant 
wizard, Dr. E. J. Kraus spring of 1955. This is the first spring that we 
have had a large enough supply to list them. When you see them , 
blooming in your garden this fall you will know why we consider them 
3 of the finest Chrysanthemums ever introduced. Postpaid. 
M 817 Butterscotch—Lovely 314 to 4 inch, deep golden-amber to 
yellow, semi-incurved flowers are borne on strong stems, fine for 
cutting. The healthy plants grow 2 feet tall and start blooming early 
September. Each 75c, 3 for $1.85 
M 833 Mohave Gold—This variety created more enthusiasm from 
visitors to our nursery than any other variety in last fall’s trials. 
They were delighted first with the size, 4 to 5 inches across, and larger 
if disbudded, but in the end it is the color that is so impressive, the 
brightest golden bronze we have ever seen. The buds are rust to 
reddish in color and open into gently reflexed flowers. The plants are 
vigorous growers, up to 3 feet in height, and completely covered with 
lovely flowers from early September until severe frosts. In warm 
weather the flowers are a beautiful pure golden color. As the weather 
cools, they become golden bronze. Each 75c, 3 for $1.85 
M 847 Rosetone—From early in September until frost this great 
new Mum will provide bouquets of the most attractive shading of 
lavender-rose Mums you ever saw. The flowers are large, 4 to 5 inches 
across, long lasting and weather resistant. The strong, stately plants 
reach 24% to 3 feet tall. Each 75c, 3 for $1.85
