INTRODUCTIONS of 1936 INTRODUCTIONS of 1935 
SATURN 
Brilliant sparkling orange and bronze, enhanced by a soft 
orange ring or halo surrounding the golden yellow center. A 
gorgeous autumn color-effect. It is tremendously free and effec¬ 
tive, due to its splendidly robust, branching habit. Flowers are 
of excellent texture, almost 3 inches across, and are produced 
in large, graceful sprays. Delightfully fragrant. In flower 
October 5. Height, 2^2 to 3 feet. 
VENUS 
A new and attractive shade (rhodanthe pink, Ridgway), 
the general effect of which is lilac-pink with rose-lavender shad¬ 
ing. The flower is single, 2J^ inches across, with three or four 
rows of petals. It is remarkably free, with slender, wiry branches 
that carry a multitude of blossoms on generous sprays. Com¬ 
mencing to flower in late September, it remains effective for a 
long period, and will appeal to those who like lavender and lilac 
tones in the garden. Delightfully fragrant. October 1. Height, 
2^6 feet. 
HEBE 
A profusion of delightfully fragrant, silvery pink 
blossoms completely covers the plant from late Sep¬ 
tember on. Its remarkable freedom and unusual 
hardiness are invaluable traits, particularly in 
northern sections where Chrysanthemums are diffi¬ 
cult. Enthusiastic reports from Minnesota, Maine, 
even from far China, more than substantiate all our 
claims for this fine early variety. Growing to a 
height of 2^2 feet, it presents a lively color mass in 
the fall garden. 
VULCAN 
A glowing carmine-red which shades to garnet- 
crimson and finally to an attractive bronze- 
crimson as the flower matures. It has a double 
row of ray-like petals with a conspicuous golden 
center and is delightfully fragrant. October 5. 
Height, 2^2 feet. 
APHRODITE 
Imagine a compact, billowy mound 3 feet or more across, 
tinted with ivory and delicate pink, so completely covered with 
flowers that only blossoms are visible, and you have a picture 
of this splendid variety. The color is a soft tint of pink in the 
opening flowers, changing to ivory-white with the slightest 
mingling of delicate pink in the fully developed gerbera-like 
blossoms. Individual flowers are 3 to 3 }^ inches across. A single 
plant will make a gorgeous background in the average rockery. 
It is equally effective grouped in the garden or massed on a slope 
or bank. October 5. Height, 2 feet; spread, 3 feet. 
ORION 
First Class Certificate, Massachusetts Horticul¬ 
tural Society, 1935. Another new color, brilliant 
canary-yellow which fairly glitters in the autumn 
sunlight. Having that lustrous quality peculiar to 
the Hybrid Korean type, it immediately commands 
attention among older varieties of similar color. 
The flowers are single, 3 inches across. Excellent 
for cutting and a grand garden color. October 5. 
Height, 2H> feet.
