 flowered chrysanthemums and a general fa-

SEVEN NEW POMPONS. 



We Offer from Pots 0nly, at $4.00 per Dozen, 

 $30.00 per 100. 

 Not less than one dozen of a variety offered 



at these prices. 

 E3ach one is worthy of a 'trial, as they have 



all been shown as leaders not only in color, form 



and finish, but as growers with sure commercial 



value. 



Anna L. Moran. The color is splendid, a bril- 

 liant flame-scarlet, so vivid as to be easily 

 the most striking flower in the entire collec- 

 tion. The flowers are nicely divided on the 

 stem without disbudding, and the growth, fo- 

 liage and stem are all that can be desired. 

 The individual flowers on this pompon are 

 large, on the order of the Doty type, and it is 

 worthy of note by the commercial growers 

 that this variety in a glutted market brought 

 50 cents per spray, wholesale price, which 

 with us is a record for pompon mums. 



Nelma Putnam. The outer petals of this variety 

 are rose pink and shade to pinkish bronze in 

 the center, and the very center of the flower 

 is creamy yellow. A very pleasing color ef- 

 fect. Has been grown with marked success 

 as an outdoor variety. 



Mrs. H, Hairiaon. One of the first of the pom- 

 pons to come in flower, being in excellent con- 

 dition to cut outdoors and also from the green- 

 house bench the middle of October. The color 

 when grown indoors is a dainty blush. Out- 

 door blooms come several shades deeper. Com- 

 mercial growers who have seen this variety 

 have picked it to be included in their collec- 

 tion. 



Frances Huokvale. Gardenia white, with a 

 creamy shaded center. Far in advance of 

 Queen of the Whites, or any other pompon. 

 An exquisite variety to use for cut flowers, 

 being particularly valuable for florists' made- 

 up work. 



Mrs. Chester Bobinson. This variety is a very 

 tall, strong grower, running 4^ to S feet tall 

 in the benches. Flowers are very large, as 

 large or larger than Doty, which it somewhat 

 resembles, though it is deeper in color, being 

 a lovely old rose shade of pink. Exceptionally 

 robust in growth, with the stalk rigid and 

 every flower well divided on the stem, so that 

 no disbudding is necessary. 



Mrs. Henry F. Vincent. An exquisite shade 

 of fawn and bronze with a salmon-pink shad- 

 ing, a colof that was one of the most popular 

 shades in New York during the season Just 

 past. This variety also is very strong in 

 growth and the foliage is perfect in every 

 way. We predict this will be one of the most 

 popular novelty colored chrysanthemums when 

 generally introduced. 

 Julia De Witt. Bright bronzy-amber with deeper 

 shadings. A dainty and exquisite variety. 

 Quite large in size of individual flowers and 

 gracefully arranged on the stem or spray. 

 Foliage and growth very clean and strong. To 

 anyone wishing a novel colored mum that will 

 give them plenty of cut flowers, we strongly 

 recommend Julia De Witt. 



NEW POMPONS. 



Rooted Cuttings, $1.00 per Dozen, $8.00 per 100. 



Becky MoLane. In full crop Just ready for 

 Thanksgiving. Could easily have been held to 

 December this year. This gives you an idea 

 of this valuable late flowering pompon. It is 

 a small bronze, but richly colored and very 

 popular, a strong upright grower and makes 

 good single plants. The stems are stiff and 

 straight. 



Cometa. Dark, rose-shaded magenta, a very at- 

 tractive color which does not fade. Growth 

 upright and strong. Excellent variety for dis- 

 budding. A seedling from Lillian Doty,

November Pearl. A seedling from Western 

 Beauty. In color 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 acquisitloD to 

 the list of November flowering varieties. 



Ouray. The best early dark bronze. In bloom 

 October 20th. The color is a dark, maboganjr 

 brown and does not fade. The flowers are me- 

 dium size and stems are wiry. 



TTvaJda. Very early white, maturing October 10. 

 A large flower and when fully opened is a pure, 

 glistening white.

 sprays. Should be classed as a decorative 

 Chrysanthemum. Bright, glowing yellow, ma- 

 turing October 17th.

 Excellent spray variety, heavy grower and

 dium height. Very good for pot plants, also
