Pompon Chrysanthemums of Recent Introduction, 

 continued 



MARIANA. In this new Pompon we liave a welcome 

 addition to the list. Good, first-class white Pompons 

 have been needed, as white is very useful in genera! 

 tlorist work. Until the past season we have been pressed 

 for white varieties that would come up to requirements. 

 Mariana is a large-flowered Pompon. It can be grown 

 into excellent sprays or can be grown well if disbudded 

 to one flower. I<eady for cutting November i . 2'4-incli, 

 20 cts. each, $2 per doz., $15 per 100. 



ROMAINE WARREN. Orange-yellow or light 

 bronze describes the color of this new variety. It is a 

 clean grower of medium height and makes very attrac- 

 tive flower-sprays, carrying the flowers well apart. 

 When finished, it shows an open center of dark orange 

 color that adds to its charm. It is very distinct and will 

 find a welcome with lovers of better Pompon varieties. 

 The flowering season is from November 15 to 25. 

 2V4-inch, 20 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $12 per 100, 

 except where noted 



General Collection of 

 Pompons 



ActO. Very deep pink; large flowers. Midseason. 



Baby. Clear, bright yellow; very small, button- 

 shaped flowers. Very late. 



Baby Margaret. A white sport of Baby, with flow- 

 ers a trifle larger and coming a little earlier. 



Clorinda. Bronze Pompon of the button type. 

 Early November. 



Diana. A very fine, pure white variety of large size. 

 Late. 



Donald. Light pink of the button type, and an excel- 

 lent plant-maker. Matures about November 10. 



Mariana 



Doris. A button-type Pompon, reddish bronze in 

 color. It is very attractive and one of the finest for 

 general growing. 



Fairy Queen. Clear pink in color, with nicely 

 formed flowers of medium size. A very fine midseason 

 variety. 



Frank Wilcox (Mrs. F. Beu, Souvenir d'Or). Golden 

 bronze, coming into bloom late. Makes a very fine 

 pot plant and is excellent for cutting for Thanksgiving. 

 Plants tend to over-bud in small pots, but this tendency 

 will be outgrown when planted. 



Golden Climax. On the order of Quinola, but with 

 foliage that is hard and that will not be subject to 

 mildew. Blooms November 10 to 20. Extra-fine 

 variety for cutting in sprays. 



Golden Harvest. A medium-sized variety of the 

 button type. Deep golden yellow with a tinge of bronze, 

 a color which, when finished, is similar to Frank Wilcox 

 when half developed. Very pleasing. 



Golden West. A trifle larger than Baby, but of 

 similar formation. Rather compact in growth, but an 

 excellent variety for pot plants. When bench-grown, 

 will produce excellent sprays for cutting. 



Harvest Moon. Clear golden yellow in color, ma- 

 turing October 20 to 25. It is of the button type and 

 flowers are of medium size. The plant is very prolific 

 and makes an immense quantity of flowering shoots. It 

 is, we believe, the finest yellow Pompon in existence for 

 cutting the last week of October. 



Helen Newberry. Medium-sized flowers of pure 

 white. One of the finest for cut sprays. Very late. 



Illona. A beautiful shade of rosy lavender. This va- 

 riety belongs to the large-flowered Pompon section. 

 Matures November 10. 



Iva. Very small flowers of deep bronze. Midseason. 



Jules Lagravere. Deep red in color and very late; 

 best variety in its color. 



Leota. Delicate pink with bright rose reverse which 

 gives the effective bright center in each bloom if cut a 

 few days before fully developed. Dwarf habit.
