TWO NEW POMPONS 
REMBRANDT. This one is a blend of color entirely new, with an irridescence dif-

berry to rosy mauve with a faint copper tinting and you: have the general color 
effect. It is truly an art shade. 
Trim and upright, the plants grow to a height of 
18 to 24 inches, remarkably free and colorful from October 1 on.

varieties to cover nicely the popular color range.

as a leading Spoon type. The flowers are large 
in the regular order; the color is a clear gold- 
tone, well away from the clear yellow in Yellow 
Spoon. Habit and other characteristics are simi- 
lar.
