MISS ELIZABETH SMITH 
(Hill) 
Round as an apple, much the color of a good 
orange (“Roman Gold” tint). Quite full; an 
early mid-season sort of this very popular shade. 
Has beautiful stem and foliage Easy to do, com¬ 
pact and a good keeper. 
Take the bud Sept. 1. 
NIPHETOS 
(Hill) 
(Mid-October White) 
A seedling from Smith’s Advance. Scored 90 
before the Chicago Committee on October 14th, 
1916; this will make a large-flowered successor 
for Smith’s Advance, something that has been 
badly needed as a commercial white. 
Take the bud Sept. 1. 
The Wells-Pockett-Totty Set, 1917 
These were six unusually fine and unique varieties which showed up 
in great shape on lhe exhibition tables of the past Fall. 
They will be hard to beat.

LOUISA POCKETT 
Purest white; Mr. Pockett says it is his great¬ 
est achievement and that it will displace Wm. 
Turner. (Handle exactly as you do Turner.) 
Sometimes comes lightly flushed like shining 
mother of pearl; extremely fine of finish. 
A perfect ball, Chamois-buff and red in color, 
27 inches in circumference; gorgeous exhibition 
bronze; bud after August 15th. 
OCT. KING 
Deep golden yellow with whorled petals, ready 
to cut the first week in October. Take bud after 
August 1st. No yellow can touch it for the early 
shows or openings. Simply magnificent. 
WM. II. WAITE 
Deep warm bronze, almost shading to scarlet; 
best bud about August 25th, to give brightest 
color. 
This is one of the most brilliant and beautiful 
’mums in the entire family; gorgeous in color 
and lovely in form. To our mind it is the very 
best scarlet bronze yet produced.
