Pompon Chrysanthemums, continued 



Helen Newberry. Medium-sized flowers of pure 

 white. Good when disbudded. Very late. 



Hilda Canning. This reddish bronze button type 

 variety was disseminated by us in 191 7. We regard 

 Hilda Canning as the finest Pompon of its color and 

 without exception the best of the small-flowered type 

 in existence. It comes into flower from November 15 

 to 20. It can be held, if grown cool, until Thanksgiving 

 Day. 



Jules Lagravere. Deep red in color and very late. 

 Best variety in its color. 



Little Gem. In pink there is npthing finer than this 

 new Pompon. It flowers late, coming to perfection with 

 us November 20. The plant is a free, easy grower. 

 From early June planting it will grow quite tall, 36 to 

 40 inches, but from later plantings about 30 inches. 



Lillian Doty. Beautifully formed, shell-pink flowers 

 produced in abundance on stems strong enough to hold 

 the flowers erect. Early. Good when disbudded. 



Lula. White in color; medium-sized flowers. Late. 



Maid of Kent. Early white, button type; fine under 

 glass or outdoors. 



Mariana. In this new Pompon we have a welcome 

 addition to the list. Good first-class white Pompons 

 have been needed, as white is very useful in general 

 florist 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 is a producer of 

 excellent sprays or can be grown well if disbudded to 

 I flower. The individual flower is large and of excellent 

 form; in habit of growth it is clean and vigorous. It is 

 a Pompon every grower will need. Ready for cutting 

 November i. 



Mary. Pearl-white in color, coming to maturity 

 about November 25. 



Neola. Shell-pink changing to white, the petals 

 tipped with darker pink. Flowers are of medium size 

 and mature about November 15. 



Nesco. Old-rose in color, maturing about October 20. 

 In form it is of the button type but larger than Baby. 

 As a producer Nesco has shown that it is one of the best. 



Niza. A very early, delicate pink variety, maturing 

 October 10. Medium dwarf. 



Ouinola. Large flowers, golden yellow in color. 

 Strong-growing plant. November 20 to 30. 



Rita. Bright pink in color; button type. Matures 

 November i. 



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 attractive, 

 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 1 5 to 25. 



Skibo. A golden yellow Pompon of the button type. 

 October 20. 



Western Beauty. Deep rose-pink in color; flower 

 medium-sized. Growth medium, throwing straight 

 stems, which hold the flowers erect. It will follow the 

 variety Fairy Queen and comes as a welcome addition 

 at a time when there are no pink Pompons. It blooms 

 from November 10 to 25. 



White Lillian Doty. A pure white sport of the well- 

 known variety, Lillian Doty. It has a strong stem and 

 is pure white in color. Can be grown well when dis- 

 budded but finishes nicely in sprays. It is ready to cut 

 October 25. 



We are often asked what Pompons are hardy and 

 satisfactory out-of-doors. The following is a list 

 selected from the varieties which we catalogue. It ap- 

 plies to our conditions here in New England. Those 

 Pompons which are not grown by us indoors and are 

 classed with the hardy varieties are omitted here.

New Varieties 



The asterisk (*) before the name indicates good com- 

 mercial varieties, or varieties which are particularly 

 good for cutting in sprays as well as for pot speci- 

 mens. 



*ELIZABETH FIRESTONE. (A. N. Pierson, Inc.) 

 This bright pink seedling has appealed to the commer- 

 cial grower and to the store-man as a valuable and much- 

 needed acquisition. The stems are strong and carry the 

 flowers well. This characteristic must not be overlooked 

 in growing flowers for market. It comes into flower 

 from November 15 to 20, which is after Mrs. W. E. 

 Buckingham and just before Mrs. E. D. Godfrey is 

 ready to cut. 2,'4-inch pots, 25 cts. each, $2 per doz., 

 $12 per 100. 



*MRS. E. M. HORNE. (Horne-A. N. Pierson, Inc.) 

 Light bronze-yellow shaded old gold. The flowers which 

 are flat in form are produced in good-sized graceful 

 sprays which bunch well. Growth vigorous and erect. 

 Matures November 5 to 10. 2^'4-inch pots, 25 cts. each, 

 $2.50 per doz., S15 per 100. 



MOLLY WHITMORE. (A. N. Pierson, Inc.) Deep, 

 golden-bronze effectively suffused with terra-cotta; 

 distinct, deep yellow center. The well-formed flower 

 carries 3 rays of petals which incurve slightly. This is 

 a desirable trait where they are subject to shipping con- 

 ditions or considerable handling. The growth being 

 erect in character, this variety may be planted closer 

 than the more branching kinds. 2^4-inch pots, 25 cts. 

 each, $2.50 per doz., $15 per 100.
