Garson’s Introductions 
for 1942 
GREER GARSON. A light pink parent of ‘’Stromness,”’ 
the picture of which is shown on this page. This vari- 
ety is named after that very popular Hollywood screen 
actress. The shape of the flower and habits of growth 
are identical with those of Stromness. Height medium, 
blossoms Oct. 25th on. Price: 75c each; $7.50 per doz. 
PASADENA POST. This variety was first exhibited in 
1940 at the Pasadena Show as an unnamed seedling 
by the originator. It at once attracted so much atten- 
tion that the Garden Editor of the Pasadena Post re- 
quested it be named after her newspaper. The color 
is light pink and the petals are pointed at the tips. 
Very excellent garden variety. Better when disbudded 
a little. Grows very bushy. Blossoms Nov. lst on. 
Price: 50c each; $5.00 per dozen. 
STROMNESS. A snow-white sport of Greer Garson. It 
is the creation of this class of flower that will encour- 
age an hybridizer to go on. The center is swirled a 
little and the petals gradually interlay gracefully, thus 
acquiring a combination of sublime magnificence and 
serene grace. This reflexed type novelty flower ac- 
quired its luxuriant foliage and strong stem from one 
of the parents, “Snow White.” Petals will not shatter 
under any circumstances and the florists will find this 
flower will keep fresh for two to three weeks after be- 
ing cut, thus enabling longest shipment possible. We 

Stromness 
recommend commercial growers to raise this 
variety as China Mum. Will mature normally 
around Oct. 25th on from June planting. Medium 
height. Price $1.00 each; $10.00 per dozen.
