POMPONS, BUTTONS and Other Hardies 
Various Types of Pompons—12 1-2 cents each; $1.25 dozen 
(Labelled—Your Selection) 
PINK CUSHION or AMELIA—Known under several names, but under 
either an old variety still good, due to its early flowering. It is a 
bright pink and starts blooming in September and continues until frost. 
Not recommended for the extreme South. 
WHITE DOVE —By far the earliest good white pompon on the market. 
May be grown as disbud or cluster. Fully double. 2 1-2 inches if 
disbudded, or 1 1-2 inches in sprays. Matures from end of September 
on into October. 
ALADDIN— A new pompon of a pleasing shade of rich bronze. Grows 3 
feet high here, but attempts to bloom in September and our hot sun 
burns them. Should be excellent for northern states. 
WINNETKA —While an old hardy, it is still popular owing to its- early 
blooming and free flowering. Begins flowering the last of September, 
and continues throughout October. Color white. 
TINTS OF GOLD —The earliest yellow-bronze pompon I know of. May be 
disbudded or grown to sprays. Disbudded blooms 3 1-2 inches; spray 
2 inch blooms. Color most unusual, as it is- a medley of all yellow, 
copper and bronze shades mingled somewhat as the coloring "of the 
Talisman Rose. Matures here by October 10th. 
EARLY BRONZE —Bronze blooms a little larger than the button type borne 
in great profusion, beginning about the middle of October and con¬ 
tinuing until frost. Excellent for mass plantings. 
MARGOT —A late introduction and an excellent early white pompon; in¬ 
termediate between large and button sizes—blooms 1 1-4 inches in 
diameter; rather dwarf growth. Matures by mid-October. 
IRENE —A very early white button pompon t maturing here shortly after 
the middle of October. Growth is short and compact. Grows well 
in pots. Very popular as an extra early white button. 
DOTSON, PINK —With me an unusually good early old rose button. It 
is rather short in growth, but right after middle of October is covered 
with old rose buttons that hold their color here. 
PADOKA— An unusually attractive baby pompon; color a light salmon- 
rather dwarf in growth; matures October 20th; if grown natural makes 
a most satisfactory specimen or pot plant. 
PINK DOT —A large-flowering pompon of light pink color with a dark 
spot in the center. It grows tall and matures the last week in Oc¬ 
tober. Also fine for sprays. A popular early pink pompon.
