Japanese Mountain or Cascade Varieties 
Introductions for 1936 
These are small single varieties of fairly dwarf 
growth, very free flowering and with soft or pliable 
stems. The term Cascade is given these varieties from 
the fact that one or more growths may be bent down 
without injury to the plant making them acceptable 
for use on tables or other flat furniture; with one or 
more growths hanging down and the balance of the 
plant upright. This, of course, is all attained by train- 
ing. The wood is so pliable that it may be tied in 
nearly any shape desired. 
These four new named varieties for growing in 
cascade form are all anemone flowered. All have 
pliant stems suitable for this purpose and will supply 
brighter colors to this section. Jane Harte, yellow, 
and Anna, white, are the two varieties usually ex¬ 
hibited. 
AGAPPINA. This has a smaller cushion than the 
others, 1 inch in diameter, and the whole flower 
about 2|/7 inches Color, a rich mahogany with a 
slight tinge of yellow on the tips of the cushion 
florets. 
AUTUMN SUNSET. A ■ self colored, light bronzy 
orange cushion 1'/^ inches and total diameter 21/4 
inches. 
SHINING LIGHT. A medium shade of pure yellow, 
both ray florets and cushion. Much larger than Jane 
Harte, the cushion being 1^4 inches and rays ex¬ 
tend to 3 inches in diameter. 
ZENITH. A chrome or darker yellow than Shining 
Light. Reverse of petals streaked red. Has red 
cushion inches and entire flower 'lYl inches in 
diameter.

BROWN BUTTON. This baby pompon has such a 
pliant stem that it is a fine subject to be grown as a 
cascade variety. It is a dark bronze in color, matur¬ 
ing November 10 and is one inch in diameter. 
SHOOTING STAR. We have been fortunate in 
securing an anemone variety which belongs to the 
cascade section. The star shaped flower is yellow and 
the center is a low anemone cushion, maturing No¬ 
vember tenth. Diameter, one and three-eighths 
inches. 
Plants from 2J4-inch pots; ^0.30 each; ^2.50 per ten;
