and of large size. Select terminal bud and obtain a perfect bloom 
in late October. 
WINDSOR GOLD—A deep golden yellow of medium height that. has 
proven good with me in 1940. It matures a jarge bloom by the 
last of October from a terminal bud, and with me holds a good 
rich color to full maturity. 
MRS. HENRY R. REA—An incurved pure white with rather pointed 
petals. Produces an 8-inch bloom with me—in fact, one of the 
earliest large incurved white I know of. Foliage is unusually large 
and deep green; also extends right up to bloom; stem rigid. Best 
bud Sept. 1; blooms October 25th. 
APRICOT QUEEN—A recent introduction; a large incurved orange of 
unusual brilliancy with reverse golden yellow. Growth is short 
jointed and foliage small and extends right up to the blcom. Best 
bud first week in Sept. to produce large bloom the last few days 
of October. 
EVENING GLOW—Another recent introduction with a color as bright 
as Sunglow. Small ‘phage but strong growth, plants attaining a 
height of 4% feet. A bud taken around Sept. 10th will produce a 
large incurved bloom about Oct. 25th. 
MRS HELEN K. JOHNSON—A dark yellow with slight tints of bronze; 
petals incurved, but somewhat irregular in their arrangement. 
Erect stems and good foliage; 5 ft. high from April planting. Se- 
lect bud latter portion of August. Blooms 8 inches mature by Oct- 
ober 28th. I consider this the very best early yellow of the recent 
introductions, 
GRACE STURGIS—An exhibition wine red incurved globular bloom of 
large size, the reverse of the petals being a pinkish-silver. A most 
outstanding color combination which caused more comment from 
visitors than any other variety I grew in 1940. It has stiff, straight 
stems that hold the large bloom erect. A bud aroung August 25th 
will produce a perfect “bloom by November Ist. 
RICHARD MANDEL—An exceptional pot plant of the “Mandel” fam- 
ily, It is a pure glistening white pompon—a cross between Doty 
and Rose Mandel bz does not shatter like Doty. <A very prolific 
bloomer. Pinched twice it will grow 18 inches tall and carry from 
8 to 15 blooms. With a single pinch it will grow fully 3 feet high. 
It is one of the best of the disbud pompons. Reaches fuil maturity 
first few days of November. 
QUEEN OF THE PINKS—Another of the “Mandel” pot plant varities, 
but a pink this time—one of the brightest I have seen. It is iden- 
tical with the above variety in habit of growth and culture, and 
makes an ideal companion flower for Richard Mandel. 
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 ate of August and it will 
produce a magnificent bloom by Nov. 
HELENA POCKETT—This is a 1938 dane 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, 
MISS MILLICENT ROGERS—This is a bronzy-pink exhibition, the 
petals of which are rather informal in their .arrangement, and 
would be classed as a reflexed variety. A bud taken the last of 
August will produce a large exhibition bloom by the firsi of Nov- 
ember. With me grew to better than 3 feet. This variety is a sport 
of Nagirroc. . .
