ARMISTICE DAY —This is an excellent large incurved red with the re¬ 
verse of petals gold. Handles well, but does not attain a height in 
excess of 4 feet. Take bud around the middle of August and it will 
produce a magnificent bloom by Nov. 1. 
HELENA POCKETT —This is a 1938 introduction; a pure white incurved 
exhibition; strong erect grower with small leaves. The flower is 
very large—in fact the introducer claims it is a worthy successor to 
William Turner. Will attain a height of better than 5 feet. Take 
crown bud at end of August. Matures early in November. 
GAY BOY —This is a 1937 introduction; perfect incurved ball type similar 
in conformation to Celestra. Its color is a bright bronze. It has 
good substance and will keep and ship well. A thrifty grower, reach¬ 
ing 4 foot and better. Terminal bud best; matures last day or so of 
October. 
CHEROKEE —A tall growing and easily handled bronze exhibition. The 
bloom is large and the petals are rather loosely incurved. There seems 
to be some rose mixed in with the bronze coloring. A bud taken 
the last week of August wdll produce excellent bloom the first few 
days in November. 
THE MELBA —No kin to the single variety MELBA, as this is a lemon- 
yellow^ sport from LOUISA POCKETT. Why it was given such 
a similar name I don’t know^ With me it is similar to YELLOW 
POCKETT, and makes a fine exhibition. Select crown bud near end 
of August and you will get a huge bloom the first week of November. 
CARRIE BEINECKE —This is a warm bronze of the Majestic type; in 
fact it was introduced as an improved Majestic; perfect stem and 
excellent foliage up to flow^er. Best bud Aug. 20; bloom matures 
Nov. 8th. 
NAKOTA —Blooms Nov. 1st from Aug. 15th bud; an exhibition variety of 
fairly recent introduction; bloom incurved, orange-buff in color, and 
of largest size. Semi-dwarf in growth. 
MARIAN H. UFFINGER —This exhibition variety is of the two-toned 
class, the inner side of petals being a dazzling bronzy crimson and 
the reverse gold. Bloom is incurved and of largest size. With me 
it handles unusually well. Best bud third week in August. Matures 
Nov. 10th. 
WILLIAM HAZLEHURST —Erroneously listed last year as “Hazleton.” 
Still holds its place as one of the best lavender-pinks I know of. It 
is of largest size; loosely incurved petals; good grower and stiff stem; 
holds its color better than many pinks. A crown bud taken last of 
August will mature an enormous bloom first few days of Nov. 
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 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.
