STANDARD VARIETIES 
The varieties fully described, herewith, are those which have been in greatest 
demand the past three years, hence we consider them the best of this section. 
BABY DOLL—(Introduced by us, 1920). The size of Baby, maturing October 
25; of the freest flowering habit. Light yellow with slight bronzy tinge, which 
disappears when fully developed. The most dwarf of this collection. When potted 
in June and stopped occasionally will give plants eight to ten inches high. 
BONNIBEL—(Introduced by us, 1931). A very distinct pompon of orange buff 
color. As it is 1% inches in diameter, it must be included in the intermediate sec¬ 
tion. It is very free flowering and of dwarf growth, about 2*4 feet in height and 
matures about October 15.
