Spider ano Spoon Chrysanthemums 
Charm Spoon Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.50 
Airy graceful flowers of a rich Rhodamine red which turns to a soft 
dusty rese. An excellent flower and probably the best in this color. 
Orchid Spoon Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.50 
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 $2.70, Doz. $8.75 
There are not many of the Bird of Paradise Type Mums which can be 
grown in 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 garden as well as cut. Blooms 
in October. About 3 feet high. 
Ftady Rubellum Chrysanthemums 
At the Chrysanthemum Trials held by the Roval 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 
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 
—appears as delightful bouquet often three feet or more across.

Their complete hardiness is repeatedly stressed. Their perennial character is established—they are 
permanent plants—and will continue to add color and beauty to your garden year after year. Last 
but not least they do exceptionally well in such locations where there is a little shade and it is diffi- 
Golden Spoon Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.50 
This highly deserves its place as a leading Spoon type. The flowers 
are large in the regular order; the color is a clear gold tone. Habit 
and other characteristics are similar. 
Jasper Spoon Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.50 
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 $2.00, Doz. $6.50 
A really different Mum color, a soft shining rose that defies descrip- 
tion. Flowers 31% to 4 inches across, and other habits are proportion- 
ately larger than others in the Spoon group.

tember, so early that they are 
never damaged by frost. They are 
well arranged on short much- 
branched stems not over 12 to 18 
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, and 
forced into bloom in February and 
March. They make splendid pot 
plants. The habit of Chrysanthe- 
mum Clara Curtis is spreading. 
A two-year-old plant grows about 
18 to 24 inches across. It is per- 
fectly hardy anywhere and not par- 
ticular as to soil or location.
