The Florists' Review

POR ALL PURPOSES 



st presented we have the superior of the discarded variety. Our aim is to 

 row in quantity those varieties which we, ourselves, would grow for the 

 lit flower trade, regardless of the fact that we have limited the list of 

 [ferings. There is no break in the Mum crop from the start to the finish 

 f the Mum season if planted from an intelligent selection of varieties from 

 lis list, commercial cut flower production governing this selection. 



We are often asked what Pompons are hardy and satisfactory 

 ut-of-doors. The following is a list selected from the varieties 

 rhlch we catalog and from numerous others that we have had on 

 rial. It applies to our conditions here In New Kngland. Those 

 'ompons which are not grown by us indoors and are classed with 

 he hardy varieties are omitted here.

•ELIZABETH FIRESTONE. (A. N. Plerson, Inc.) This bright 

 ink seedling has appealed to the commercial grower and to the 

 tore-man as a valuable and much-needed acquisition. The stems 

 re strong and carry the flowers well. This characteristic must not 

 e overlooked in growing flowers for market. It comes into flower 

 ■om November 15th to 20th, which is after Mrs. W. E. Buckingham 

 nd Just before Mrs. E. D. Godfrey Is ready to cut.

 ranching kinds.

 PEGGY BULKELEY. (A. N. Plerson, Inc.) "We consider this new

 lauve-pink. The blooms are large, averaging four rays of petals, 

 hlch recurve gracefully from a golden-yellow center. The growth 

 vigorous and erect, producing large sprays, which show the indi- 

 idual flowers to the best possible advantage. An ideal cut-flower

EARLY-FLOWERING CHRYSANTHEMUMS FOR OUTDOOR 



GROWING. 



The question of hardiness in the Chrysanthemum family is such 

 that to call these hardy, as we have formerly done, is unfair be- 

 cause so much depends upon the character of the soil and' the 

 dramage. Too much covering in winter has ruined more plant.s 

 than a cover of any kind has saved. Some firms class these as 

 Decorative varieties. Several In the list do well indoors, as among 

 the Pompons and Singles there are those which do well outdoors 

 The varieties listed have larger blooms than the larger-flowered 

 I'ompons, unless otherwise described.
