SATURN—Brilliant sparkling orange and bronze, enhanced by a soft orange 
ring surrounding the golden yellow center. It is robust of growth and 
free branching. Flowers are of excellent texture and about 3 inches 
across, are single and are produced in graceful sprays. Has some 
fragrance. Height over 3 ft. In full flower by Oct. 5th. 
NYSA—A new hybrid, here growing fully 3 1-2 ft. tall and bearing a pro¬ 
fusion of single blooms from 2 1-2 to 3 inches across. The color is a 
clear rosy lilac. In full bloom the first few days of October. 
PSYCHE—Another new hybrid, reaching 3 1-2 ft. in height and coming 
into bloom early in October. The plants are very thrifty and the 
4-inch shell pink single blooms are borne on erect, wiry stems. 
MERCURY—A 3-inch single bloom that opens a bronzy red, but changes 
to a coppery-bronze as it matures. Makes graceful sprays that when 
cut will last for 2 weeks. Hejght 2 feet. Matures the very first of 
October. 
DAZIRA—This Korean hybrid I regard as the most free-flowering of the 
strain. A small plant in spring will make by fall a plant better than 
20 inches tall and fully 30 inches across. The plant will be completely 
covered with single white flowers 2 1-2 inches in diameter. Slight 
pinkish cast on opening turns to white on maturity. In bloom Oct. 
10 and on. 
ASTRID—The first authentic hybrid offered of the extremely hardy Arcticum 
species. It is of a low, dense growing habit—never attains much 
height. It is very free-flowering and extremely hardy. The single 
flowers are soft pink with apricot tints, which harmonize well with 
the yellow center. Probably the most dependable of the low-growing 
or border varieties. 
LOUISE SCHLING—An outstanding variety. The flowers are fully 3 in¬ 
ches across, are a soft bronzy salmon color, and have 3 to 4 rows of 
petals. Of compact growth. Matures October 5th. 
DAPHNE—A new shade of pink, being an exquisite blending of Daphne- 
pink and lilac rose, enhanced by prominent golden stamens' in the 
center. Single flowers are over 3 inches, are carried in graceful sprays 
and are especially frost-resistant. Height around 3 feet. Matures 
around October 10th. 
CERES—A combination of oldgold, chamois-yellow and bronze. Mature 
flowers appear to have petals dusted with bronze. Sturdy plants about 
3 feet high. Flowers single; matures about October 12th. 
APOLLO—True autumn colors—a combination of bronze, red and gold 
suffused with a glowing salmon. The single flowers are 2 inches 
across and are produced in immense sprays over a long flowering 
around October 10th. 
MARS—A deep amaranth-red, changing to wine red overlaid with a velvety 
sheen. Very striking in color effect. Height 3 ft. Matures around 
October 15th.
