Chrysanthemums 
Every ’mum grower is on the alert for “something better” than he al¬ 
ready has; no florist dares to stand still these days or he will find himself 
left behind and out-classed by his competitor. 
Here are a few pointers that may be helpful in making up your plant¬ 
ing list: 
RICHMOND is the best commercial yellow of its date—October 20. 
WHITTIER is exactly like Richmond except in foliage and date; we 
believe that this is going to out-class every other late yellow; both sorts have 
the perfect smoothness of finish so greatly admired, beside every other good 
point that a commercial should possess—notably, texture, keeping qualities. 
POMPONS to SINGLE STEM. If you have caught on to the high value 
of single-stem Pompons, you will want a goodly quantity of Mariana, Helen 
Newberry, Lillian Doty, White Doty, Illona and Peace, and now Mr. Tolly is 
giving us a “Yellow Doty” in Connie Dick. 
They are profitable to grow in this way, and flower buyers are delighted 
with these graceful miniature sorts with all the finish of the Rig Ones. 
SMITH’S EARLY ROSE is a real commercial acquisition, a pleasing shade 
of rose color, ready to cut October 15—a color much needed for this date. 
JOSEPHINE FOLEY has made many friends as a white of its date; it is 
a “big one.” 
TIGER is another splendid commercial yellow, of fine golden shade, and 
substantial incurving form, 
and 
Tottv’s ALICE DAY is everything that can be desired in a white, which 
blooms October 10th; one of the smoothest, clearest whiles that has ever ap¬ 
peared among commercials, and of perfect incurving form—handles well as 
to culture—also on the counter.
