3 ft 
DONILDA. (Introduced by us 1933) Long, bright yellow guard petals. The disc 
florets are the same color and the outer ones are long while each succeeding row 
recedes, thus forming a low flat cushion 4 inches in diameter. Diameter of entire 
flower 9 inches. Height 3 feet. Matures November 25th. 
Plants from 2-inch pots: SO.25 each; S2.00 per ten; S15.00 per hundred. 
Not less than five of a variety at ten; 25 at hundred rate. 
Japanese Mountain or Cascade Varieties 
The type known as mountain Chrys¬ 
anthemum plants is so pliant or yield¬ 
ing that they may be trained to any 
desired form For cascading or droop¬ 
ing effect they usually are manipulated 
as follows: When the main shoot is 
about 6 inches high pinch the center. 
As soon as the side shoots attain suffi¬ 
cient length train one of them to a stake 
4 feet to 5 feet long, stuck into the soil 
at an angle of some 30 degrees from 
the vertical. Pinch the other side shoots 
from time to time at their third, fourth or 
fifth joints, according to the variety. 
Continue pinching throughout the sum¬ 
mer until about the middle of Septem¬ 
ber so as to develop a correctly shaped 
plant. By this time many branches 
should have been produced at every 
joint ready to bear flowers at their axils. 
When the buds show color remove 
the stake and place the pot on a shelf 
sufficiently hign to keep the drooping 
top of the plant from off the ground. 
Unless the stems hang gracefully by 
themselves they can be directed by 
means of galvanized wires bent to any 
desired shape. Normally the plants will 
come into bloom about the end of Octo¬ 
ber and remain brilliant until late No¬ 
vember. Generous feeding is required 
during the entire growing period if large plants are desired. The feeding should be 
stopped, however, when the buds show color. 
Introductions of 1936 
These are small single varieties of fairly dwarf growth very free flowering and 
with soli 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 exhibited. 
AGAPPINA. This h as a smaller cushion than the others, 1 inch in diameter, and the 
whole flower about 2 V 2 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 1/4 inches and total 
diameter 2*4 inches. 
SHINING LIGHT. A medium shade of pure yellow, both ray florets and cushion. 
Much larger than Jane Harte the cushion being 1% inches and rays extend to 3 
inches in diameter.
