largest early pink. Height 4% ft.; best bud around Sept. 1; blooms 
Oct orate 
PINK DELIGHT—Color rosy pink, much brighter than Chieftain; stem 
unusually stiff and foliage up to flower; blooms 6 to 7 inches and 
reflexed in form; depth of bloom 4% inches; matures Oct. 25th from 
Sept. 10th bud. 
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 rae also extends right up to bloom; stem rigid. Best 
bud Sept. 1; blooms October 25th. 
CHARMING PRINCE—A fairly recent introduction of the Chieftain 
type; Color deep pink that holds its color well. The bloom is of me- 
dium size with foliage up to the flower. Reserve early bud and ob- 
tain perfect bloom the last week of October. 
KEYSTONE—The finest early bronze I have ever grown. It is of strong 
upright growth, 3 ft. and better, and produces 8 inch incurved 
blooms of a light bronze that are ‘unusually attractive. A bud se- 
lected around August 30 will produce a perfect bloom the last week 
of October. Early selected buds give blooms with more pronounced 
color than later buds. 
ALBATROSS—A very large bloom of purest white, incurved, with ex- 
cellent straight stem and of vigorous growth. Maturing the last 
week of October it comes just right to follow AMBASSADOR. A 
terminal bud is recommended. 
BLAZING GOLD—An unusually intense, deep golden yellow bloom of 
perfect globular form. Shades well. Matures last week in October 
from a terminal bud. 
ALAMEDA—A globular incurved bronze bloom borne on an erect, stiff 
stem with excellent foliage; Attains medium height only. Terminal 
bud is best for bloom maturing last week in October. Equally good 
as a commercial or for China mums. 
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. Select bud 
latter portion of August. Blooms 8 inches matures by October 28th. 
I consider this the very best early yellow of the recent introductions. 
WINDSOR GOLD—A deep golden yellow of medium height that has 
proven good with me in 1941. It matures a large bloom by the last 
of October from a terminal bud, and with me holds a good rich 
color to full maturity. 
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 bloom. Best 
bud first week in Sept. to produce large bloom the last few days of 
October. 
GAY BOY—This is a 1937 introduction; perfect incurved ball type sim- 
ilar in conformation to Celestra. Its color is a bright bronze. It has 
good substance and will keep and ship well. A _ thrifty grower, 
reaching 4 foot and better. Terminal bud best; matures last day or 
so of October. 
DR. J. M. INGLIS—This is a very large exhibition; color a rich purplish 
amaranth with the reverse of the petals silvery; from a bud taken 
the third week in August it will produce a very large loosely in- 
curved bloom by Nov. 1. About 41% feet tall with large foliage. 
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 around August 25th 
will produce a perfect bloom by November Ist. 
NAGIRROC—Probably the finest exhibition bronze yet introduced. It 
is reflexed with long petals. Semi-dwarf in growth, but admirably
