—Another single, but a spectrum-red this time, 
having an opalescent sheen which varies with the Autumn light— 
producing changeable color effects. It is a strong, upright plant 
3 ft. tall and better, and with flowers 3 inhes and better. In full 
bloom by Oct. 1st. 
PINK LUSTRE—An orchid-pink single. It is a sturdy variety and very 
hardy. Of strong upright growth (3 ft. easily). It produces strong 
branching sprays from October 1st on. In fact it bloomed for me 
the last of September. 
APHRODITE—This is a single that opens as a soft pink and then slowly 
changes to an ivory-white with just a trace of pink remaining. The 
petal arrangement somewhat resembles the Gerbera. Equally ef¬ 
fective when grouped in garden or massed. Height 3 ft. Blooms 
first week of October. 
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. lu full flower by Oct. 5th. 
NYSA—A new hybrid, here growing fully 3^^ ft. tall and bearing a pro¬ 
fusion of single blossoms from 2 V 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 SV 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. 
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 com¬ 
pletely covered with single white flowers 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 Arc- 
ticum 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 S 
inches across, are a soft bronzy salmon color, and have 3 to 4 rows 
of petals. Of compact growth. Matures October 5th.

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. 
C’ERES—A combination of oldgold, chamois-yellow and bronze. Mature

suffused with a glowing salmon. The single flowers are 2 inches

around October 10th.
