hardier than some other varieties. Matures around Nov. 15.

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.

disbudded, or 1 1-2 inches in sprays. Matures from end of September 
on into October.

attention.

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.

the middle of October. Growth is short and compact. Grows well
