We are often asked what Pompons are sat- 

 isfactory out-of-doors. The following: is a 

 list selected from the varieties which we 

 catalogue and from numerous others that we 

 have had on trial. It applies to our condi- 

 tions here in New England. Those Pompons 

 which are not grown oy us indoors and are 

 classed with the hardy varieties are omitted 

 here.

Try Pauline Wilcox out-of-doors. It ought 

 to be a wonder. Grow Nellie Irwin and Helen 

 Andre for late November. They are worth 

 growing by any one.

Elizabeth McDowell (A. N. Pierson, Inc.). 

 This orange-bronze Single we believe to be 

 the finest of all the single-flowered seed- 

 lings that we have raised. Not only is the 

 color wonderfully fine in daylight, but the 

 richness is greatly enhanced by artificial 

 light. The plant is strong-growing and 

 makes strong stems which carry the flowers 

 well. These are well divided in the clusters. 

 It packs nicely for a Single and we class it 

 as the equal of any single -flowered variety 

 in commerce. It is good for exhibition, for 

 the high-class storeman and for the grower 

 who retails. 



Evelyn Bosworth (A. N. Pierson, Inc.). We 

 must class this beautiful Novelty as a Sin- 

 gle, but it is not a true Single, having six 

 rows of petals. In habit of plant, it is 

 strong-growing and the flower stems are 

 strong and straight. The flower cluster is 

 large, as the variety makes large sprays and 

 carries buds well down the stem. These 

 flower clusters are well divided and the in- 

 dividual flowers are not crowded. In color 

 it may be classed as a bronze, but with a 

 slight tint of salmon-pink. A very pleasing 

 color and one that is always in demand. In 

 flower November Sth to I5th. 



Charter Oak (Foster). A clear, bright yellow 

 Single variety which carries its flowers in 

 large, strong- stemmed sprays, bearing from 

 three to five flowers each. It makes a fair 

 sized plant and will class as a good grower, 

 but is not as heavy in foliage as its com- 

 panions, Mrs. E. D. Godfrey, Margaret 



SINGLE CHRYSANTHEMUMS— Continued 



Waite and Miss Isabelle. It flowers late, 

 coming into bloom during late November, 

 and is the latest-flowering yellow Single va- 

 riety we have grown or have seen. The 

 form and character of the flower spra^ is 

 ideal and the late-flowering characteristic 

 greatly enhances the value of this to the 

 grower. It would be good at any season and 

 in December it is alone in its class. 



Katherine Harley (A. N. Pierson, Inc.). The 

 flower is a beautiful light bronze with the 

 tips of the' petals shading to a yellowish 

 bronze. The combination gives a most 

 pleasing shade of bronze. Very strong grow- 

 er, has fine lustrous foliage and is in bloom 

 by November 10th. 



New Varieties

Mrs. E. M. Home. Light bronze-yellow 

 shaded old-^old. The flowers, which are flat 

 in, form, are produced in good- sized, grace- 

 ful sprays which bunch well. Growth vigor- 

 ous and erect. Matures November Sth to 

 10th. 



Molly Whitmore. Deep, golden-bronze, effect- 

 ively suffused with terra cotta; distinct, 

 deep yellow center. The well-formed flow- 

 er carries three rays of petals which incurve 

 slightly. This is a desirable trait where 

 they are subject to shipping conditions or 

 considerable handling. The growth being 

 erect in character, this variety may be 

 planted closer than the more branching 

 kinds. 



Peggy Bulkeley. We consider this variety 

 one of the prettiest in our collection. The 

 color is a soft yet luminous pink, changing 

 as the flower matures to a delicate mauve- 

 pink. The blooms are large, averaging four 

 rays of petals which recurve gracefully from 

 a golden-yellow center. The growth is vig- 

 orous and erect, producing large sprays 

 which show the individual flowers to the 

 best possible advantage. An ideal cut flower 

 or pot plant variety. Matures November 

 10th to 15th.

Early-flowering Chrysanthemums 

 for Outdoor Growing 



The question of hardiness in the Chrysan- 

 themum family is such that to call these 

 hardy, as we have formerly done, is unfair, 

 because so much depends upon the character 

 of the soil and the drainage. Too much cover- 

 ing in Winter has ruined more plants than a 

 cover of any kind has saved. 



Some firms class these as Decorative varie- 

 ties. 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 Pompons, unless otherwise described. 



NOVELTY 



2H-inch, ISc each, $1.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100. 



Ruth Cumming (A. N. Pierson, Inc.). To 

 those to whom the colors of Autumn appeal 

 and who grow Chrysanthemums in the open, 

 this novelty of our own raising will be wel- 

 come. We have been raising seedlings from 

 Normandie, which is the finest example of 

 the early-flowering outdoor type and this 

 reddish bronze, decorative type seedling 

 from N9rmandie has all the desirable char- 

 acteristics of an outdoor variety. It' has 

 proven hardy in New England. It is dwarf 

 and compact in growth. It suckers freely, 

 making heavy clumps. It withstands the 

 early frosts without injury. From October 

 15th to November 10th it has been a mass of 

 color. ^ It cuts and bunches nicely. Out-of- 

 ^ioors it is at home and indoors it will bloom 

 early and give you a fine early bronze for 

 the market.
