The Pompons 
The “Large Flowered Pompons” are greatly appreciated wherever grown 
to single stems, (> stems to the plant; they are the daintiest and most perfect 
specimens in the family, and bring good returns per plant. 
The most notable of this section are Ado, Frank Wilcox, Mariana, Lil 
lion Dolij, White Doll), Connie Dickjllona and Helen Newberry. 
The following list comprises the best commercial sorts of standard va¬ 
rieties: 
FOUR NEW POMPONS 
FLORA 
(Hill) 
Dark red, yet brilliantly shaded. A nice ad¬ 
dition to the red pompons. 
CHRISTMAS GOLD 
(Friedley) 
A lovely golden yellow pompon which will be 
eagerly welcomed by every florist needing a 
clear yellow cut flower for Thanksgiving and 
later. Free branching and profuse in bloom. 
LUC ILK 
(Hill) 
A fine double yellow of more than usual size, 
long stemmed, with fine, well-filled sprays; a 
promising “Large Flowered” variety of excellent 
color. 
JESSIE 
(Hill) 
Of true Doty type, of Daybreak color, white 
and a flush of pink; of splendid form and full¬ 
ness—long stemmed and very free. 
Standard Varieties 
of Pompons 
Acto—Bright rose. One of the best. 
Connie Dick—Has been styled die “Yellow Doty”— 
identical with the Dotys except that it is a clear glow¬ 
ing yellow; this variety has met a warm reception, as 
the trade was anxious for this very thing—a yellow to 
complete the Doty family. 
Eugene Langaulet—Pompon anemone. There is 
nothing handsomer or more profitable among the small 
’mums than this classy little shining, golden yellow 
Pompon, very lasting when cut and with all the good 
qualities required for commercial growing. 
It comes right to date with a big crop of bloom 
from any date of propagation. One of the very latest of 
the Pompons. 
Elva—-The most useful of white pompons, pure in 
color, of full, fluffy form; very early; extremely val¬ 
uable to every grower of cut flowers. 
Frank Wilcox (Synonym, Mrs. Frank Beu)—Fine 
Thanksgiving bronzy red; a good variety to cut with 
Eugene Langaulet. Try some of this grown singly. 
Fairy Queen—A very greatly improved Alena, has 
more substance, a brighter color, and is a few days 
earlier; the best and earliest pink pompon. 
Golden Climax—One of the best golden yellow ; will 
be in heavy demand. Very free and long stemmed. 
Hilda Canning—One of the prettiest, most distinct, 
and valuable of recent pompons; brilliant bronze, neat 
and compact, very lasting, and late; fine habit and 
“bunches” liberally. 
Helen Newberry—The most perfect and latest of 
the white Pompons. A proportion of the stock should 
be grown to single blooms—six to a plant. 
Inga—Bright red of beautiful shade, fine size, and 
elegant form; one of the earliest. Always in heavy 
demand.
