bud. Earliest dependable large pink of even shade; a very popular 
ane fool proof; and with me most satisfactory—all points con- 
sidered. 
WHITE ENCHANTRESS—A white sport of the pink Enchantress, and 
it makes an ideal companion white for Enchantress. It is identical 
in all other respects. 
QUAKER MAID—For years this has been the stand-by for early in- 
curved white blooms. Its blooms is incurved, matures just before 
the middle of October, is pure white and approximately 6 inches in 
diameter. It is still very popular where one has to mature blooms 
by or before October 15th on account of frosts. 
PINK CHIEF—Another tall-growing extra early variety, but a rose pink 
this time. Matures its blooms by Oct. 12th. An excellent variety for 
shading. Terminal bud is best. 
JUSTRITE—A bright lavender-pink 6-inches in size and incurved type. 
Height 5 ft. An early bud will produce a mature bloom by Oct. 15. 
SUN GLOW—Blooms Oct. 15th from mid-August bud; a bright yellow 
8 inch incurved flower of perfect form. One of the best big yellow 
varieties for early October. 
CHRYSALORA—This is the widely disseminated variety one sees ship- 
ped in from California from early October on. It is very large— 
8 inch in diameter, incurved clear yellow. While not a recent intro- 
~ duction it still holds a high place among the early large yellow va- 
rieties on account of its extra large size, perfect form, stem and fo- 
Alas Take a mid-August bud and get a perfect bloom by October

turity by October 15th from early August bud. Height 4 ft. Blooms 
7 inches. The standard early bronze. 
DETROIT NEWS—Blooms Oct. 25th from August 30th bud. One of the 
newer and the outstanding “finds” in recent years; at first develops 
as an incurved showing golden reverse, gradually reflexing and ex- 
posing bronze shade. Probably has more lasting qualities than any 
other bronze of its period.

cellent qualities and substance as Detroit News. Matures around

pares favorably in color with Friendly Rival. It attains a medium 
height and from a bud taken the third week of August will fully 
mature its bloom by October 25th.

incurved type. Here it blooms about a week after Chrysalora, which 
makes it desirable for central and northern states, where large 
blooms by Oct. 25th are scarce. Terminal bud best.
