THE P!ILOT—This is a rich rose pink of strong upright growth. The 
foliage is good and the bloom is well rounded, incurved and from 
6 to 8 inches in diameter. Its petals are large and they do not shat- 
ter easily. It is an early mid-season variety. 
INDIAN CHIEF—A very large closely incurved bronze exhibition mum, 
which might be described as an improved Detroit News. Does well 
when handled in same manner as Detroit News. Take bud first 
few days in September and bloom matures November lst. Erect 
grower; height 4 feet and better. 
MRS. D. F. ROY—With me this is a large incurved crimson with a buff 
reverse. It holds its color and is fine for shading. Do not take bud 
earlier than Sept. 15th for a perfect bloom maturing the second 
week of November. 
INDIANAPOLIS PINK—A 1938 introduction that has made good. The 
bloom is large, incurved and with plenty of “substance”. Outer sur- 
face of petals light lavender with darker insides. From a terminal 
bud will produce perfect bloom the second week of November. Con- 
sidered almost a perfect commercial. 
QUAKER LADY—A large perfectly incurved white of exhibition size, 
with a slight orchid shading—especially from late buds. This is a 
cross with SNOW WHITE, which accounts for its perfect conforma- 
tion. With me produces perfect China mums. Height 4 feet. Take 
late August bud for blooms 8-inches in diameter maturing around 
November 10th. 
LADY FRANK CLARK—A glorious rich yellow incurved type that re- 
minds one of the “Pockett” strain of mums produced in Australia. 
With large blooms, good color and a vigorous plant it is hard to beat. 
Take bud last week in August and onward. 
BUTO—A large bright pink incurved bloom that matures the first week 
of November. Terminal bud gives best color. This variety does 
not shatter and keeps well. Good strong growth, but attains only 
mediun) height. Will produce 3 or 4 nice-sized blooms per plant. 
BOB PULLING—A grand variety for exhibition, producing clear yellow 
blooms of large size. The petals are unusually long and pendant. 
Grows 4 feet here and blooms around Nov. 10th. 
J. W. PRINCE—A very large and fine flower, resembling the old va- 
riety Chieftain, of which it is a seedling, but much deeper pink in 
color. Grows erect and matures around November 10th. 
FREIDA—This light pink, 6 inch anemone flower with its clear yellow 
center was the outstanding variety of the garden in 1942. The 
plants are unusually strong and of upright growth. The coloring 
reminded one of an orchid. I have three strains—the pink, dark 
pink and the bronze, and these three were the most “‘talked-about”’ 
varieties in the garden. While they do not bloom before Nov. 15th, 
they are well worth protecting. In ordering specify the colors you 
wish. 
SECRETARY NEHRLING—Named in honor of a former Secretary of 
the Chrysanthemum Society of America. It is perfect in form, of 
true commercial type resembling the old favorite Major Bonnaffon. 
Stem heavy and strong with foliage extending up to the bloom. 
Bud selected Aug. 15th to 20th produces best blooms. With me 
grew 5 feet tall and produced several 5 inch flowers per plant. Ma- 
tures mid-November. 
THANKSGIVING PINK—<A very popular variety, owing to its lateness 
and its deep non-fading color, which is a very dark pink. Produces 
blooms 7 inches in diameter from bud selected in mid-September. 
Height, 4 ft. Matures for Thanksgiving.
