FOURTH NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW 151 
Fink: Bcaurepairc; Eclcn; Cranford Pink and Miss Burchfell. 
Red mid Bronze: Nellie Blake; Vesuve; A. Barham and Billancourt. 
These Early Flowering 'Mums are duplicates ol' ihe large flowering types; 
otherwise known as greenhouse varieties; only they are dwarfer in habit and 
do not come ciuite as large, save in one or two instances, such as Cranfordia. 
This latter, closely disbudded will make a wonderfully large flower. 
I mention the selection above, so that anyone who has not grown Early 
Flowering 'Mums, need not be bewildered by a large list but can be assured 
of satisfactory results if an)- or all of the above are grown. 
SINGLES 
which are also of comparatively recent introduction are wonderfully effective 
outdoors. It is true a great many of these Singles are not early enough to give 
good satisfaction flowering outdoors, but the following varieties flower in 
splendid condition outdoors from October 15 onwards: 
White: jMrs. Chas. C. Mickle; Gladys Duckham; Mensa and Snowflake. 
Pink: Ivor Grant; Stanley Ven; Mrs. Buckingham and Louise. 
Yellow: Polly Duncan; Golden Mensa and Marion Sutherland. 
Crimson and Bronze: Excelsior; Mrs. Hogben; and Margaret Walker. 
A variety that occupies a class for itself is " Mrs. Francis H. Bergen." This 
is the same type as the Early Flowering but does not come into bloom until the 
last of October, when most of the Early Flowering types are through blooming. 
"Mrs. Bergen," is creamy white with Rose-pink shadings and one of the most 
noteworthy on account of its cast-iron hardiness. Mr. Bergen the originator 
of this varietv told me he had this varietv blooming in his garden until No- 
f, ixx ^.xx^ ^t 
vember 20 in good condition. 
POMPONS 
or the Button T>'pe, is perhaps the best known of the entire 'Mum family, 
and the latest and hardiest of the types, but they are handicapped by the fact 
that they bloom so late that the frost has destroyed all their foliage before the 
flowers develop. These Pompons are the favorite of a great many people and 
the following would be our selection of the very very best varieties. 
Lillian Doty is quite the largest Pompon e\-er sent out. This is a beautiful 
clear pink in color. There is a white sport of this called "White Doty," being 
introduced this year, that is a wonderful acquisition to the Hardy Garden. 
White: W^hiteDoty; Queen of the Whites; Jas. Boone; Waco and Myer's 
Perfection.
