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 114% inches in diameter when slightly 
disbudded; strong upright growth. Also makes good pot plant; has 
done unusually well for me. Matures Oct. 25th. 
BRONZE ERMALINDA—The bronze sport of the original pink Erma- 
linda; identical in all other respects. 
FIREBIRD—While not extra early, it is still one of the best rust-red 
varieties of pompons. The color is bright and habit of growth up- 
right. Flowers 21% inches in diameter maturing last week of Oct- 
ober. Erect grower attaining better than 3 feet. 
GOLD MINE—A bright yellow 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 frost 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. Ist. Shades well 
too. , 
RICHARD MANDEL—An exceptional pot plant of the “Mandel” family. 
It is a pure glistening white pompon—a cross between Doty and 
Rose Mandel but 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 full maturity first few 
days of November. 
QUEEN OF THE PINKS—Another of the “Mandel” pot plant varieties, 
but a pink this time—one of the brightest I have seen. It is identical 
with the above variety in habit and growth and culture, and makes 
an ideal companion flower for Richard Mandel. 
VERA VICTORIA—A tall vigorous grower, producing heavy sprays of 
clear yellow true pompon type flowers around November Ist. May 
be disbudded, but seems to grow unusually well to sprays. Very 
popular. 
DAINTY MAID—The most satisfactory of all white baby or button pom- 
pons. Color a pearly white, with pink shadings from late buds. Tall 
grower. Matures around November Ist. 
MARY PICKFORD—A pure white that makes a perfect ball one inch in 
diameter; stiff stem and medium height; matures Nov. Ist. 
MARGUERITE CLARK—A one-inch pink true pompon; free flowering 
and make loose and graceful sprays when grown natural; 314 feet 
tall; matures November 5th. 
SOURCE d’OR—Very popular owing to its striking burnt orange color. 
When disbudded to several blooms per plant will produce 3% inch 
blooms by Nov. 5th. May also be grown to sprays. Height 4 feet. 
BRIGHT SPOT—A new variety; a blush white button with a dark pink 
spot in center. It is a strong grower, branching freely, and the first 
week in November will be covered with one-inch blooms. 
LILLIAN DOTY—The standard pink large pompon. Its shell pink color 
and perfect type keeps it a favorite with commercial growers as 
well as individuals. Should be grown 4 to 6 blooms per plant. Mat- 
. ures early in November. 
RED DOTY—Similar to above, except a deep red color. 
ROSE DOTY—Similar to above, except is a deep rose. 
MUSKOKA—A large golden-bronze pompon that does best when dis- 
budded. With me grows better than 3% feet. Is of upright growth 
and matures its large ball-shaped pompons the first week of Nov. 
YELLOW HILDA CANNING—A clear yellow button pompon that has 
nice upright growth and matures its blooms around Nov. 10th.
