The Florists' Review 



Januaux 20, 1921 



CHRYSANTHEMIMS 



The list of Chrysanthemums we are offering for the season of 1921 shows many changes from those of the previous seasons 

 and these are, we believe, a great benefit to us and no injury to our trade. We have discarded many varieties, Iceeping 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. 



Our aim is to grow in quantity those varieties which we, ourselves, would grow for the cut flower trade, regardless of the fact

NEL.LIE IK WIN. (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 November 10 to 15 and holds well on the plant, 

 which is very desirable when a variety is grown in large quan- 

 tities for commercial cutting. It follows Golden Climax and 

 precedes Romaine Warren. It is a I'ompon variety which will 

 find a welcome with the grower for the wholesale market, hav- 

 ing strong, straight stems and bunching nicely. It ia 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. 



I'.VULINE 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 combination. In bloom November B. 

 It is a gloriously colored variety and there is nothing like it. 

 It Is distinct and valuable. 



HELEN ANDRE. (A. N. Pierson, Inc.) A beautiful, compact, or- 

 ange-bronze Pompon which blooms around November 20. 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 Thanksgiving Day bronze and a good one. 



HELEN IIUBB.\RD. (A. N. Pierson, Inc.) This is the best crim- 

 .son decorative we have ever grown. The lower petals are from 

 2 to 214 inches in length. The color Is a rich, velvety crimson 

 which does not fade. Growth is excellent. There are no other 

 ^arietics in this color which can compare with it for cutting in 

 sprays. This Harvard crimson is in bloom November 15.
