EVENING GLOW—Another recent introduction with a color as bright 
as Sunglow. Small foliage but strong growth, plants attaining a 
height of 4 V 2 feet. A bud taken around Sept. 10th will produce a 
large incurved bloom about Oct. 25th. 
MRS. HELEN K. JOHNSON—A dark yellov\: with slight tints of bronze; 
petals incurved, but somewhat irregular in their arrangement, iiirect 
stems and good foliage; 5 ft. high from April planting. Select bud 
latter portion of August. Blooms 8 inches mature by October 28th. 
I consider this the very best early yellow of the recent introdctions. 
NAKOTA—Blooms Nov. 1st from Aug. 15th bud; an exliibition variety 
of fairly recent introduction; bloom incurved, orange-butf in color, 
and of largest size. Semi-dwarf in growth. 
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 YELLOVT 
POCKETT, and makes a fine exhibition. Select crown bud near end 
of August and you will get a huge bloom the first week of Nov¬ 
ember. 
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 POCKETl'—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 simi¬ 
lar in conformation to Celestra. Its color is a bright bronze. It 
has good substance and will keep and ship well. A thrifty grower, 
reaching 4 foot and better. Terminal bud best; matures last day 
or so of October. 
NAGIRROC—Probably the finest exhibition bronze yet introduced. It is 
reflexed with long petals. Semi-dwarf in growth, but admirably 
suited for exhibition purposes. Best bud middle of August. Blooms 
10 inches in diameter, mature last few days of October. 
J. R. BOOTH—This is a bright yellow sport of the well-knowm variety 
NAGIRROC. Identical in other respects. Both varieties have ex¬ 
cellent reputations as exhibitions. 
DR. J. M. INGLIS—This is a very large exhibition; color a rich purplish 
amaranth with the reverse of the petals silvery; from a bud taken 
the third week in August it will produce a very large losely incurved 
bloom by Nov. 1. About 4% feet tall with large foliage. 
INDIAN CHIEF—A very large closely incurved bronjze exhibition, which 
might be termed an improved Detroit News. Does well when 
handled in same manner as Detroit News. Height 4^/4 feet. Ma¬ 
tures Nov. 1 from Sept. 5th bud. 
MARY L. CLARK—A light shade of lavender pink of large size—8 
inches, maturing Oct. 28th from late August bud. Height 5 ft; in¬ 
curved form. May be grown commercially and is a rose pink from 
an early September bud. 
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 dis¬ 
budded. Terminal bud matures best bloom around Nov. 5th. 
JEAN—A pure large white single as a companion for LAONA. It is 
equally vigorous ar.d matures a day or two earlier.
