ESTRELITA—(Introduced by us, 1930). A good bronzy orange anemone 
for general use. Has a full regular formed cushion and several rows of outer 
ray florets. Strong growth and upright stem. Flowers 5 inches in diameter, 
mature about November 15. Three and one-half feet in height. Should be 
disbudded. 
GOLDEN STATE—(Introduced by us, 1926). A self-colored yellow about 
the same as Florera but is larger and has longer florets. Flowers 6 inches in 
diameter with 4^ inch cushion. Matures November 1. Height, 4 y 2 feet. 
MARIETTA—(Introduced by us, 1929). A very artistic anemone variety. 
Color, soft pink throughout with very full cushion. A beauty for floral arrange¬ 
ments. Diameter of flowers 5 to 6 inches when grown four or five flowers to the 
plant. Height, 3 y 2 feet. Ready to cut October 20. 
NORMA—This variety is somewhat difficult to describe and make its color 
apparent owing to its variability. From the early buds the guard petals are 
nearly white with a yellow cushion. From the later buds the guard petals are 
tinted with pink and the cushion assumes a rosy bronze hue making a very 
conspicuous flower. Abundance of air intensifies the color. The flower has three 
or four rows of guard petals and a very nice full cushion. It is a strong and 
rather tall grower. We prefer the late or terminal bud which matures November 
20 and later. 
PINK SUPREME—(Introduced by us, 1930). One of the very latest anemone 
flowered varieties. Color is delicate shell pink. Has prominent regular cushion 
with several rows of ray florets which enhance the shipping qualities. Attains 
a height of about four feet. Should be disbudded to produce flowers 5% inches 
in diameter. Matures November 25. 
ROSE ROYAL—(Introduced by us, 1926). Another fine anemone and rather 
distinct in color, being a violet rose throughout. Flowers 4 inches in diameter. 
Height, 4 feet. Matures November 15; disbud. 
STOPLIGHT—(Introduced by us, 1929). A very striking new anemone flower, 
crimson terra cotta ray petals with a low bright yellow cushion. The contrasting 
colors instantly promote admiration. Should be disbudded. Height, 4% feet. 
Matures November 1. 
SUZANNE MILLER—A sport from Norma and identical in every respect 
except color. This, like the original, varies somewhat in color according to the 
culture and bud selected. From the later buds, which are preferable, the guard 
petals are yellow with shadings of pinkish bronze and the cushion or center 
florets are orange and are also tinted with bronze or pink. Fully developed 
November 20. Tall. Matures November 20. 
TUSCOBA—(Introduced by us, 1926). Ray florets are an Indian red and 
yellow at the edges. Flowers 5 % inches in diameter with a yellow cushion 3% 
inches. Very distinct. Height, 4 feet. Matures November 5. 
VERONA—(Introduced by us, 1929). A companion for Marietta being 
another self-colored anemone but is of a soft golden buff. Full cushion. Flowers 
5 inches in diameter. Height, 3 feet. Ready to cut October 20. Best when 
disbudded. 
The following varieties are usually grown natural the same as pompons and 
are most serviceable when so treated. 
GARZA SUPREME—This variety differs from the original Garza by having 
flat or strap shaped petals instead of tubular. Color, white. Very late flowering. 
GODFREY’S PERFECTION—A pure white variety. More productive than 
any of the pompons or anemones. Blooms, 2V 2 to 3 inches in diameter, having 
four or five rows of florets. A good shipper. Makes excellent pot plants. Dwarf. 
Matures for Thanksgiving.
