liage. Take a mid-August bud and get a perfect bloom by October 
18th. 
MRS. H. E. KiIDDER—Blooms Oct. 15th from August 25th bud; a very 
early bright yellow closely surmounting an upright stiff stem, a late 
introduction. Very popular. 
INDIANOLA—One of the earliest bronzes to mature, reaching full ma- 
turity by October 15th from early August bud. Height 4 ft. Blooms 
7 inches. The standard early bronze. 
DETROIT NEWS—Blooms Oct. 25th from August 30th bud. One of the 
newer and the outstanding “finds” in recent years; at first develops 
as an incurved showing golden reverse, gradually reflexing and ex- 
posing bronze shade. Probably has more lasting qualities than any 
other bronze of its period. 
GOOD NEWS—Golden yellow sport of Detroit News, having same ex- 
cellent qualities and substance as Detroit News. Matures around 
end of October from August 30th bud. 
OCONTO—tThe large blooms are produced on strong stems. Height 4 
ft. Requires a crown or early bud taken around August 25th. Ma- 
tures by Oct. 25th. An old but still good early white. 
SUPERLATIVE—An excellent early bright yellow reflex; in fact com- 
pares favorably in color with Friendly Rival. It attains a medium 
height and from a bud taken the third week of August will fully 
mature its bloom by October 25th. 
GOLDEN MEASURE—A tall-growing golden yellow bloom of perfect 
incurved type. Here it blooms about a week after Chrysalora, which 
makes it desirable for central and northern states, where large 
blooms by Oct. 25th are scarce. Terminal bud best. 
CHARLES W. JOHNSON—Blooms Oct. 25th; a perfect 7-inch round ball, 
with excellent habits of growth; may be considered an improved 
Betsy Ross. Height 41% feet; best bud Sept. 10th. 
SILVER SHEEN—Blooms Oct. 25th. A high-rounded pure white large 
bloom of perfect form; has excellent keeping qualities; grown com- 
mercially. 
SILVER WEDDING—Blooms Oct. 28th. A pure white bloom, very broad 
reflexed petals, making a.bold handsome flower somewhat re- 
sembling a cactus type dahlia. A tall grower (6 feet) and with me 
the most resistant to frost of all large flowering mums. 
RICHMOND—Blooms Oct. 28th. A perfect ball-shaped golden yellow 
with long blooming period; with me an outstanding yellow of real 
merit. 
HILDA BERGEN—Blooms Oct. 30th from early September bud; a 7- 
inch incurved bronze flower that holds its color to full maturity; 
height 4 feet; handles unusually well and is very popular among the 
bronzes. 
ROSE CHOCHARD—An incurved light pink of medium height. The 
bloom is 6 inches and over and is incurved in form. Select bud by 
mid-August and get perfect bloom by October 23rd. 
OLD GOLD—Not so sure of name, as I have purchased it under various 
names. A perfect incurved 8-inch clear yellow bloom on 4 ft. stem. 
by November Ist. 
AMBASSADOR—While not a recent introduction, its earliness and large 
size keep it in front ranks. It is a pure white, incurved, perfect in 
conformation, and may be grown nearly as large as the Turners. 
It will NOT stand heavy feeding. Ordinary garden soil is good 
enough. If pushed much it will just “burn up.” A terminal bud 
around the last week of August will give perfect bloom the last day 
or so of October. 
OLD ROSE—A large incurved deep pink that is perfect for shading— 
even held its color with me through our long drought in the fall of 
1940 out in the open. Grows over 3 feet and the bloom is of large 
size and possesses excellent substance. Blooms the last week in 
October. 
YELLOW AMBASSADOR —A clear yellow sport of the above; identical 
in all other respects. Makes a good combination with the white
