LARGE POMPONS SUITABLE FOR DISBUDDING 
They are more serviceable when the plants are permitted to make several 
growths and then disbudded to produce one bloom each. This course gives per¬ 
fectly formed flowers, as is shown by the illustration. 
INTRODUCTIONS FOR 1934 
Fire Ball Azora 
The increased demand for pompons is due to the fact that they are 
useful for many purposes. The early varieties may be planted out and 
treated as early hardies, flowering in October. They may also be 
grown as pot plants and as most of them are dwarf they require very 
little pinching to make dwarf symmetrical plants. In addition to this 
there is a vast quantity used for all kinds of floral arrangements.
