Discounts 
Last year I found that nearly all of my flower-minded customers se¬ 
lected a plant or two of many varieties, and as a consequence it was quite 
a task to gather, label and ship so many small orders. On top of this I 
discovered that while I would work cheerfully every spare minute tending 
to the wants of my mums, I did NOT enjoy gathering and shipping them. 
I have never been able to learn why, but the fact remains that I do, so in 
order to minimize this job I am this year offering a straight discount of 
10% to my customers who will pool their orders to where they amount to 
^5.00 or over. If you wish them kept separate in the package I will do 
that for you, but the saving of time will be worth that much to me—and 
you will get the discount for your trouble.

Late Introductions or Varieties That For One 
Reason or Other I Consider Outstanding 
In Their Respective Classes 
20 CENTS EACH; $2.00 PER DOZEN—YOUR SELECTION 
(Limited Stock) 
MAJOR EDWARD BOWES —An outstanding 1936 introduction. It is a 
bright rosy pink—brighter than J. W. Prince, and the color is inten¬ 
sified under artificial light. Fully double from any bud, but best 
bud around August 30th. Six inch incurved blooms, mature around 
October 18th. With me held its 1 color under our hot sun. 
MRS. HENRY R. REA —An incurved pure white with rather pointed petals. 
Produces an 8-inch bloom with me—in fact, one of the earliest large 
incurved white I know of. Foliage is unusually large and deep green; 
also extends right up to bloom; stem rigid. Best bud Sept. 1; blooms 
October 25th. 
WHITE EAGLE —While not so recent an introduction, its large size and 
earliness make it outstanding—in fact, it is the earliest large reflex 
white I know of. Stem and foliage are good, but growth is somewhat 
dwarf. May be grown in pot by pinching. An early crown bud will 
mature a bloom by third week of October. 
AMBASSADOR— While not a recent introduction, its earliness and large 
size keep it in front ranks. It is a pure white, incurved, perfect in 
conformation, and may be grown nearly as large as the Turners. It 
will NOT stand heavy feeding. Ordinary garden soil isr good enough. 
If pushed much it will just “burn up”. A terminal bud around the 
last week of August will give a perfect bloom the last day or so of 
October. 
APRICOT QUEEN —A recent introduction—incurved orange of unusual 
brilliancy with reverse golden yellow. Growth is short jointed and 
foliage small and right up to bloom. Best bud first week in Sept, 
to produce large bloom the last few days of October.
