CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



We grow Chrysanthemums for the cut flower market and we grow a lot of them. We have culled our list of commercial sorts just as 

 closely as we dare cull it. We buy the new ones and give them a chance* to show merit, but we do not aim to keep in this list a variety that 

 cannot be grown well by the average grower. If a variety needs special treatment or nursing to make it produce blooms that will sell, we 

 don't grow it and we have not kept in this list those varieties which cannot be finished well with average treatment. 



The list of Chrysanthemums we are offering for the season of 1920 shows some changes from last season. We have discarded some varie- 

 ties and have kept only such as have shown themselves really needed to maintain a balance of color and season. This selection has eliminated 

 many for which we may have calls during the planting season, but in the list presented we have the superior of the discarded variety.

New Chrysanthemums for the 

 Commercial Grower 



2% -inch, 2Sc each, $2.00 per doz., $15.00 per 100. 



Sun Glow. An early, bright yellow of the 

 Major Bonnaffon type, maturing October 

 25th. Exceptionally fine stem witn the foli- 

 age extending to the bloom. Produces an 

 exceedingly high percentage of perfect 

 blooms. 



Victory. A pure, glistening white with a de- 

 cided waxy luster; fine stem and foliage. 

 By stopping the plants September 10th and 

 securing the bud that develops upon this 

 break five or six weeks later, a fine crop 

 may be had for Thanksgiving and after. 



Other New and Valuable Sorts 



Rooted Cuttings: 75c per doz., $5.00 per 100, 

 $40.00 per 1,000. 



2% -inch, $1.00 per doz., $7.00 per 100, $55.00 

 per 1,000. 



Barbara Davis. In color a rich shade of red- 

 dish bronze and entirely distinct from any 

 other variety. It was disseminated by us 

 in 1917 and has proved a decided acquisition 

 either as a cut flower or as a pot plant. In 

 habit of growth it is short-jointed and in- 

 clined to be dwarf, but makes good stems 

 from early propagation. The flower is re- 

 flexed when fully open and is at its best 

 just before maturing. 



Golden Mistletoe (A. N. Pierson, Inc.). This 

 variety, as shown by the name, is a sport of 

 Mistletoe. The parent is our latest flower- 

 ing variety, coming well into December. It 

 is ball-shaped. An excellent companion for 

 the parent. We have grown it in quantity 

 and know that it will be a favorite.

Nellie Irwin (A. N. Pierson, Inc.). A true 

 Pompon, clear, bright yellow in color with 

 every desirable attribute in stem, foliage, 

 plant habit and formation of the flower 

 cluster. It comes into bloom about Novem- 

 ber 10th to 15th and holds well on the 

 plant, which is very desirable^ when a vari- 

 ety is grown in large quantities for com- 

 mercial cutting. It follows Golden Climax 

 and precedes Romaine Warren. It is a 

 Pompon variety which will find a welcome 

 with the grower for the wholesale market, 

 having strong, straight stems and bunching 

 nicely. It is the best Pompon variety we 

 have raised or offered for sale. We cut the 

 last for Thanksgiving day trade and they 

 were in perfect condition. 



Pauline Wilcox (A. N. Pierson, Inc.). The 

 form of the flower classes it as a decorative 

 variety and it is the ideal decorative type. 

 The habit of the plant and the flower sprays 

 are very desirable. The stems are straight 

 and strong and the flowers hold well apart 

 in the clusters. The color is bronze with 

 red and gold mixed, the tips of the petals 

 being lighter, giving a very pleasing com- 

 bination. In bloom November 5tli. It is a 

 gloriously colored variety and there is noth- 

 ing like it. It is distinct and valuable. 



Helen Andre (A. N. Pierson, Inc.). A beau- 

 tiful, compact, orange-bronze Pompon which 



POMPON CHRYSANTHEMUMS— Continued 



blooms around November 20th. The growth 

 is upright, the stems strong, holding the 

 flower erect. Color is very attractive and, 

 as there are no other varieties of this color 

 in bloom at the same season, it will be a 

 profitable one to grow. It is a Thanksgiv- 

 ing day bronze and a good one. 



Helen Hubbard (A. N. Pierson, Inc.). This is 

 the best crimson decorative we have ever 

 grown. The lower petals are from two to 

 two and one-half inches, in length. The 

 color is a rich, velvety crimson which does 

 not fade. Growth is excellent. There are 

 no other varieties in this color which can 

 compare with it for cutting in sprays. This 

 Harvard crimson is in bloom November ISth. 



Lorraine Meech (A. N. Pierson, Inc.). Dis- 

 tinctly a novelty. We introduce this vari- 

 ety because so many of our customers have 

 seen it and have asked for plants. Color 

 is dull crimson with a golden-bronze re- 

 verse. The petals curl just enough to show 

 both colors, which gives a very pleasing 

 contrast. When fully open, a small yellow 

 center shows, but this should, nevertheless, 

 be classed as a Pompon. Growth is very 



food; foliage, dark green right up to the 

 ud. In bloom November 10th. 



New Pompons 



Rooted Cuttings: $1.00 per doz., $8.00 per 100. 

 2% -inch, $1.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100. 



Becky McLane. In full crop just ready for 

 Thanksgiving day. Could easily have been 

 held to December this year. This gives you 

 an idea of this valuable late-flowering Pom- 

 pon. It is a small bronze, but richly colored 

 and very popular. It is a strong, upright 

 grower and makes good, single plants. The 

 stems are stiff and straight. It will cut 

 real money per square foot and it is a 

 variety the market needs. 



Christmas GoliL This_ small, golden-yellow, 

 button Pompon was introduced last season. 

 It flowers in early December, but has not 

 proved as strong and healthy this season as 

 It was last. It matured a fair crop and, 

 from selected stock, we shall grow it again. 



Cometa. Dark, rose-shaded magenta, a very 

 attractive color which does not fade. Growth 

 upright and strong. Excellent variety for 

 disbudding. A seedling from Lillian Doty. 



November Pearl. This new Pompon is of our 

 own raising and is a seedling from Western 

 Beauty. In color, a very beautiful soft 

 shade of daybreak pink. It grows easily 

 and cuts good sprays on strong stems. It 

 is a fine flower of medium size and is a 

 valuable acquisition to the list of November- 

 flowering varieties. 



Ouray. The best early, dark bronze. In 

 bloom October 20th. The color is a dark 

 mahogany brown and does not fade. The 

 flowers are medium size and stems are wiry. 



Uvalda. Very early white, matur;/ng October 

 10th. A large flower and when fully opened 

 is a pure, glistening white. 



Vasco. This variety is exceptionally good for 

 sprays. Should be classed as a decorative 

 Chrysanthemum. Bright, glowing yellow, 

 maturing October 17th. 



White Gem. Pure white, button type. Ready 

 November ISth. A free- growing, free- 

 branching type that cuts quantity per 

 square foot. 



A. N. PIERSON, Inc., Cromwell, Conn.
