WILLIAM HAZLETON —The finest exhibition lavender-pink I saw in 
1937. It is of easy culture and the incurved bloom is of largest size. 
It held its deep pinkish color with me until full maturity. Take 
crown bud last week in August and obtain bloom the first few days 
in November. 
QUAKER LADY —A large perfectly incurved white of exhibition size, with 
a slight orchid shading—especially from late buds. This is a cross' 
with SNOW WHITE, which accounts for its perfect conformation. 
With me produces perfect China mums. Height 4 feet. Take late 
August bud for blooms 8-inches in diameter maturing around Novem¬ 
ber 10th. 
LAONA —A single of exhibition size—may be grown to 9 inches. It is a 
beautiful shade of rose pink that here held its color last year. It is 
vigorous 1 in growth, and is ideal either disbudded or partially disbud¬ 
ded. Terminal bud matures best bloom around November 5th. 
JEAN —A pure large white single as a companion for LAONA. It is 
equally vigorous and matures a day or two earlier. 
VERMONT —A magnificent pink of lovely bright shade. It is not a recent 
introduction, but its enormous exhibition blooms still keeps it in the 
foreground. It is a vigorous grower, and has but one serious objec¬ 
tion—the stem will not support the large bloom upright (it nods its 
head). A crown bud about mid-August will give perfect bloom about 
November 10th. 
EDWIN M. BYRNES —A remarkable shade of scarlet-crimson which illu¬ 
minates under artificial light. Bloom very large and petal arrangement 
somewhat irregular. Tall grower. Best bud August 20; Matures No¬ 
vember 10th. 
MT. ETNA —A fairly recent introduction. A large incurved pure white 
bloom very much resembling SNOW WHITE, but maturing around 
November 10th. Tall vigorous grower; take crown bud around mid- 
August. Blooms 8 inches. 
O. P. BASSETT —The most distinctive red incurved bloom of exhibition 
size I saw in 1937. It matures around the middle of November, and 
is a perfect wine red, with a silvery reverse. Very large incurved bloom 
on erect stiff stem. Red incurved varieties’ are scarce and this is a 
good one. 
GARNET KING —While not of latest introduction, still it's unusual qual¬ 
ities keep it popular. Another very deep red with hints of black shad¬ 
ings and a distinct sheen to the petals. It is of large size and reflex 
in form. When grown one bloom per plant it is a regal picture. It’s 
only objection it is* rather late—a bud selected after the middle of 
September producing a perfect bloom by November 20th. 
REGINA —A wonderful later lavender pink of deep shade and lasting color. 
Blooms 8 inches in diameter, reflex in form, are borne on 5 ft. stiff 
stems. Late August crown bud produces mature bloom by Thanks¬ 
giving.
