ASHES OF ROSES 
A completely distinct and different color never before seen in Mums 
and we are frank to admit we can‘t describe it, neither does the color 
plate do it justice. Visitors call it rich old rose or rose ash with soft 
salmon-apricot Overtones. The point is there is nothing like it in Mums 
nor have we seen this rare iridescent color or anything like it on any 
piter flowers in our nursery. We consider Ashes of Roses the choicest 
and most distinct Mum in our collection. It flowers more freely than 
most varieties, blooms cover the plant completely; starts blooming in 
September and keeps on until frost. Flowers are fully double, about 3 
inches across. Height about 2 feet.

Alfreton Supreme Each $1.00, Three $2.70, Doz. $8.75

Carnival Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.50. 
At the moment we believe this to be one of the three most brilliant 
Mums. ‘Glowing burnt orange’’ best describes the play of bronze, red 
and golden bronze shades; literally, it gleams. The full double blossoms, 
3% inches across, carried on long, slender, nicely branched sprays are 
perfect for cut arrangements; the heavily branched plant amazingly 
free and productive. The lusty, dark green foliage is carried right down 
to the ground; the plant alone is a garden ornament. Height 21-3 feet.

Have you longed for a big. hardy Mum that would flower before those 
early October frosts? Well, here it is—a brilliant, glistening golden 
yellow beauty in full bloom by September 20th and so free that the 
stocky plant is almost obscured by its branching clusters of perfectly 
formed double flowers. Hardy and easily grown, it requires no special 
pinching or handling to produce flowers 41 to 5 inches across—larger, 
if disbudded. Fine also for pot culture. NOTE: Occasional plants assume 
bronze-yellow tints, but are just as attractive.
