JEWELL—Rightly named, as with me it has been a perfect “Jewel.” It 
is a true pompon reminding me very much of the bachelor buttons 
seen in old-fashiosed garcens. _This resemblance is true both as to 
eolor and form. It matures by October 20th and is widely grown— 
both in pots and yard or garden. . 
AUTUMN GLOW—Usually classed as a hardy, and with me justly so as 
it is unusually winter-resistant. It’s blooms are a rosy crimson ond 
are large for its type. The plant grows tall—abeat 4 feet with mie, 
and seems to be just about “fool-proof.” blooms the latter part of 
October. 
RODELL—An exceiient eaily veilow pompon. Blooms of true pompcn 
form and 1% inches in diameter, maturing by October 25th. Did 
unusually well for me in 1940. 
ETHEL—A bright red baby pompos. Height about 24% 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. 
ROSA A DORE—An extra fine rose pink true pompon of very compact 
form. Can be grown as a cluster or as a disbud pompon; also makes 
a nice pot plant. Matures the last week of October. 
CORA PECK BUHL—An excellent early yellow button variety that ma- 
tures its blooms by the last week of October. It is very popular as 
itd color is probably the deepest shade of yellow in early buttons. 
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 1% inches in diameter when siightly 
disbudded; strong upright growth. Also makes good pot plant; has 
done unusually wel! for me. Matures Oct. 25th. 
BRONZE ERMALINDA—tThe bronze sport of the original ping Erma- 
linda; identical in all other respects. | 
FIRE BIRD—This is an early pompon maturing its bloom by Oct. 25th. 
in color it is a mixture of red and bronze, 
GOLD MINE—A bright vellow 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. 
EDITH NEWBERRY—A tall growing variety of the large pompon type. 
The color is a mixture of orange and rust—typical fall coloring, and 
as it matures the first week in November it escapes early frosts here. 
SEA GULL—A tall-growing intermediate white  pompon, usually dis- 
budded and grown as a disbud pompon. Valuable for this purpose 
‘as it attains good height and yet matures by Nov. 1st. Shades 



well too.
