Cushion Type 



The well-deserved popularity of this type of dwarf 

 compact growers has led us to prepare good stocks. 

 We highly recommend the following varieties which 

 have proved outstanding in our tests. 



Amelia (Pink Cushion). Very compact and early. Free- 

 flowering light rose. Should be kept pruned back 

 until early August for best results. 



Xing' Cushion. Identical with Amelia excepting that 

 the flowers are deep bronzy salmon with a suffusion 

 of rose. 



Pigmy G-oId. A very distinct dwarf double yellow Kor- 

 ean Pompon growing not over 15 Inches tall and pro- 

 ducing a great profusion of bright yellow flowers 

 during September and October. A great acquisition 

 and wonderfully appropriate companion to the Cushion 

 varieties. 



Queen Cushion. The same type as Amelia and King 

 Cushion but producing pure white flowers. 



■White G-nll. This variety is distinctly of the Cushion 

 type in growth but the flowers, which are pure white 

 are more of a pompon shape.

Chrysanthemum rubellum 

 Clara Curtis 



Chrysanthemum rubellum was originally Introduced 

 in a pale pink form as Chrysoboltonia pulcherrima. 

 Later it was offered as Chrysanthemum erubescens 

 and finally as rubellum. It attained quite a bit of pop- 

 ularity as a border plant blooming throughout Septem- 

 ber. It is now, however, entirelv superseded by the 

 new variety Clara Curtis which has considerably more 

 merit. This new variety has very pretty lilac-pink 

 flowers borne on compact plants devoid of the stragglv 

 growth of rubellum. We highly recommend Clara Cur- 

 tis as a September blooming subject for the garden. 

 2-inch pots $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100.
