Dido 
Many of the varieties in this list as noted are 
crossed with “Articum” which gave the plants, par¬ 
ticularly in the Pompon section, a constitutional stur¬ 
diness and hardiness that is most unusual. 
ADMIRATION 
Beautiful chamois pink in color, and a duplex Single in type. 
Magnificent grower, a Hybrid of the Chrysanthemum “Arti¬ 
cum” maturing about November 5th. 
BRIDESMAID 
An Anemone type. A most unusual variety of beautiful 
peach-pink color, maturing about October 25th. Very un¬ 
usual sort producing thousands of rather small blooms like 
a cascade, but having much more substance. A dwarf vigor¬ 
ous habit of growth making it excellent for pot plants. 
CHERRY BLOSSOM 
Later and more intense pink shade than “Bridesmaid” flow¬ 
ering about November 1st. A grand grower. 
DIDO 
A very unusual color in crushed strawberry pink. Another 
of the very fine Arctic seedlings, maturing with us about 
November 5th. 
DECEMBER GOLD 
Coloring an intense rich clear gold. Improved Pompon of 
excellent habit and very free flowering. Matures in early 
December. 
EARLY BIRD 
Pink hardy garden Pompon of perfect spray formation and 
medium dwarf habit. Maturing October 1st. 
MONTEREY 
Clear rust maroon almost identical with “Woburn” Carna¬ 
tion in color. A beautiful Pompon possessing size, perfect 
fullness, and spray formation. Medium dwarf in habit with 
rigid stems, making an ideal pot plant variety. Matures 
November 20th. 
NOLA 
A very tall grower of blush white. One of the large button 
Pompons of excellent substance. Perfectly rounded in form 
and similar to “Dainty Maid.” 
SULFUR POMPON 
Medium size Pompon producing quantities of flowers. Very 
tall grower and in its color, which is clear sulphur yellow, 
will be extremely popular. 
NDVELTY CHHYSMTHEMIJMS OF 1939 mTRODLETIDY 
PERCY LANCASTER 
A large broad petaled, Japanese in¬ 
curved Chrysanthemum. Old Rose with 
a delightful silvery reverse. A variety 
that will be received with open arms 
by the show exhibitor because good 
pink exhibition types have been getting 
scarcer these past few years. Hand¬ 
some in size, comparing very favorably 
with all Australian introductions. Bud 
about August 20 on this fine mid-sea¬ 
son variety. Will attain a height of 
about 5 ft. 
Price: $1.00 per plant, 
$10.00 per dozen 
MISS FRANCES LOWE 
Large narrow petaled, Japanese in¬ 
curved Chrysanthemum. Color vieux 
Rose, with lighter reverse. The petals 
curl inward beautifully, and it is a very 
distinct variety, a splendid grower, and 
the tremendous flowers create a great 
deal of comment. We recommend that 
this variety should not be heavily fed, 
otherwise the flower will be very soft. 
Do not take the bud before August 20. 
Mid-season variety, attaining a height 
of 5 ft.
