ALAMEDA—An incurved medium bronze, somewhat darker than De- 
troit News. The globular blooms are borne on strong stems with 
excellent foliage. A late crown or terminal bud will mature a’ 
bloom by the last week of October. 
ROSABELLA—A rose pink incurved bloom carried on erect strong 
stem with excellent foliage. A terminal bud will produce a per- 
fect bloom the last week in October. This is a popular late intro- 
duction. 
CHEROKEE—A light bronze which assumes a rosy tint under artificial 
light. Outer petals are irregularly reflexed while inner ones in- 
curve showing a golden reverse. In size as large as Nagirroc or 
Vermont. It is a strong, tall grower, and will mature its large bloom 
by the end of October from a late August bud. 
OLIVETTE—This is a tall growing plant with a dark pink or rose col- 
ored bloom. Blooms will reach 8 inches in diameter, with petal ar- 
rangement quite irregular—some petals reflexing and some incurv- 
ing. With me this variety was most prolific last year, one plant 
producing an armful of small blooms when the top was pinched out 
early in the spring. 
BLAZING GOLD—An unusually intense, deep golden yellow bloom of 
perfect globular form. Shades well. Matures last week in October 
from a terminal bud. 
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 September to produce large bloom the last few 
days oi 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 4% 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. 
QUEEN MARY—By far the best of the “whorled” types. I have never 
seen but few large varieties with every petal slightly “curled”, and 
this is the best of the lot. It is a large white bloom with a slight 
cream tint throughout. It is a good grower, with straight stiff stem. 
It blooms here early in November and is excellent when disbudded. 
LOUISA POCKETT—An Australian variety of purest white and largest 
size, from early buds. Later buds show pink shadings. Requires 
about the same culture as Wm. Turner. While an old variety its 
easy handling and extra large size keeps it a favorite. An Aug. 15th | 
bud will produce a perfect flower by Nov. 10th. 
HELENA POCKETT—This is a 1938 introduction; a pure white incurv- 
ed exhibition; strong erect grower with small leaves. The flower 
is very large—in fact the introducer claims it is a worthy successor 
to William Turner. Will attain a height of better than 5 feet. Take 
crown but at end of August. Matures early in November. 
W. H. WAITE—A two-toned large incurved mum—scarlet and gold. An 
old variety but still good on account of color combination and size 
of bloom. Handles easily. A mid-August bud produces a perfect 
bloom the first few days of November.
