Introductions for 1939 
EDGAR A. GUEST— It is with pleasure we present to the public this new 
early Hardy and feel assured the many readers of the lines of Michigan’s noted 
poet will welcome this variety for their gardens. Color, bright bronzy red quite 
similar to Little Bob or Crimson Glory the seed parent. Its hardiness and dwarf 
growth are like the pollen parent, Amelia or Azaleamum, and it possesses the same 
free flowering habit. In flower the end of September. Flowers 2 inches in diameter. 
MALINTA —Color when first opening, cream slightly tinted pink and green. 
As the flowers develop they change to nearly pure white, changing to pink as they 
age. An intermediate pompon 1 ^ inches in diameter. Flowers October 10. 
Plants from 2 1 /4-inch pots: 50c each; any 3, $1.30; any 6, $2.50; any 12, $4.75. 
Introductions of 1938 
MOHICAN —This Amelia type flower is a pleasing shade of light bronze suf¬ 
fused with pink and yellow which produces a peach or apricot colored bloom. 
The flowers are 2*4 inches in diameter and almost cover the entire plant which 
grows 18 to 20 inches in height. Matures late October. 
SANDRA —This dwarf growing crimson red variety is of Amelia extraction, 
coming into bloom in early October. The flowers are 1 to 1*4 inches in diameter 
well placed on a bushy type plant 12 to 16 inches in height. This variety will go 
well with the low growing White Gull and should be a welcome addition because 
of its brilliant red color. 
SONIA —This variety is a deep pink or purple approaching Muldoon in color. 
Being a seedling of Amelia is an indication of its habit. Many flowered, fairly 
low and bushy. The flowers are 2 inches in diameter and mature in late October. 
This rich purple is outstanding in the Amelia types and is distinctly decorative.
