TINTS OF GOLD—The earliest yellow-orange pompon I know of 
May be disbudded or grown to sprays. Disbudded blooms 3V^ inches; 
spray 2 inch blooms. Color most unusual, as it is a medley of all 
yellow, copper and bronze shades niingled somewhat as the coloring 
of the Talisman Rose. Matures here by October 10th. 
IRENE—A very early white button pompon, maturing here shortly after 
the middle of October. Growth is short and compact. Grows well 
in pots. Very popular as an extra early white button. 
MURILLO—While not quite as early as some hardies, it still is one of 
the best pinks in the early hardy section. Also very strong growth 
and hardy. A favorite among the pinks. Blooms mid-October on. 
DOTSON, PINK—With me an unusually good early old rose button. It 
is rather short in growth, but right after middle of October is cov¬ 
ered with old rose buttons that hold their color here. 
PINK DOT—A large-flowering pomopn of light pink color with a dark 
spot in the center. It grows tall and matures the last week in Oc¬ 
tober. Also fine for sprays. A popular early pink pompon. 
YELLOW DOT—The yellow sport of Pink Dot—identical in all respects 
except color. Makes an ideal companion flower for Pink Dot. 
ARCADIA—A really outstanding late introduction. A large pure white 
pompon that makes a perfect ball. Is of vigorous growth, 3% ft., 
and an excellent producer. Also requires practically no disbudding, 
which is an important consideration. I predict it will take the lead 
in its class and color. Matures fully by Oct. 20th. 
RODELL—An excellent early yellow pompon. Blooms of true pompon 
form and inches in diameter, maturing by October 25th. Did 
unusually well for me in 1938. 
ETHEL—A bright red baby pompon. Height about 2^/4 feet and ma¬ 
tures about Oct. 25th. Color very pleasing; very free flowering and 
makes an excellent pot plant, 
CAPTAIN COOK—A tall growing, soft clear pink pompon of perfect ball 
shape. May be disbudded and grown 6 blooms per plant. Matures 
October 25th. 
BOKHARA—A vigorous intermediate pompon classed as a bronze, but 
with me seems to have some red and rose mixed in, giving a salmon 
tint to the blooms. May be grown as spray or partially disbudded. 
Height 3 ft. Matures Oct. 25th. A most satisfactory early bronze. 
JUDITH ANDERSON—A dwarf, low-growing plant with unusually nice 
foliage—fine for pot plant. It is literally covered in late October 
with yellow button mums about an inch in diameter. With me 
handles well. 
NELLIE KLERIS—A large-flowering pompon of the lavender-pink class. 
It is a tall grower, blooms very double, and matures by last week 
in October. Held its color well here. 
ERMALINDA—An old rose color with a silvery sheen; very double and 
perfect form; flowers about IV 2 inches in diameter when slightly 
disbudded; strong upright growth. Also makes good pot plant; has 
done unusually well for me. Matures Oct. 25th. 
FIRE BIRD—This is an early pompon maturing its blooms by Oct. 25th. 
In color it is a mixture of red and bronze. 
GOLD MINE—A bright yellovr of the button type, producing an abund¬ 
ance of blooms around October 28th. 
CLARA JAMISON—A very bronze pompon with a reddish shade mingled 
with the bronze. It is a heavy producer and comes in right for 
Hallowe^en.
