The Cream of the Pompons 



Pompons 



are indispensable, but it makes a lot 

 of difference what varieties one grows. 

 I have tried and discarded scores of 

 varieties. 



Here is the cream 

 of the lists. 



These are the varieties it pays me 

 best to grow—and they will pay you. 

 Let me book your order for rooted 

 cuttings now, as I shall propagate only 

 as many as I can send out of abso- 

 lutely first-class quality.
