DESERT CACTUS 



An ethereal tint — palest 

 creamy yellow in the bud, 

 with almost pure white flowers that hold 

 their soft yellow center. Very full, fault- 

 lessly formed, medium size. Indispensable 

 for cutting, combining so well with all 

 other colors. An extra sturdy grower with 

 plentiful foliage. Blooms in early mid- 

 season. 



$1.10 ea. — 3 or more, 95c ea. 



An artistic chrome- 

 VMVU/ UWU/ yellow, faintly deeper 

 at the center of the flower. A delightful 

 early-blooming mum. Not so large as some 

 in the Decorative class, but it blooms in 

 such profusion that you can depend on it 

 for color from mid-September to frost. 

 Grows 20 inches tall . . . trim and up- 

 right. Wonderful to cut.

Pinching 



It's a good idea to pinch mum plants when they have shoots 

 3 to 4 inches long. This simply means that you use your thumb- 

 nail and index finger to nip off about an inch of the soft growth 

 at the "tip of each growing shoot. The purpose is to force the 

 plant to grow wider and larger and to bloom more. DO NOT 

 PINCH LATER THAN JULY 10. 



Still More of the 



Bright tawny bronze with 

 l/l/Ct/O an unusual swirled center. 

 This is a flower of real distinction . . . very 

 double, 33^2 inches in diameter, with durable 

 color. Desert Cactus forms a broad, vigorous 

 clump and blooms freely in October. A fine 

 novelty that we introduced last season. Slow to 

 open, very long lasting. 



$1.10 ea. — 3 or more, 95c ea. 



A dramatic color and an ex- 

 cellent plant. Buds are dark

 blooms. Large flowers with a good color that 

 lasts well. Fine sprays on upright plants, well 

 able to withstand wind and rain. Midseason.
