SILVER WEDDING—Blooms Oct. 28th. A pure white bloom, very broad 
reftlexed petals, making a bold handsome flower somewhat re- 
sembling a cactus type dahlia. A tall grower (6 feet) and with me 
the most resistant to frost of all large flowering mums. 
RICHMOND—Blooms Oct. 28th. A perfect ball-shaped golden yellow 
with long blooming period; with me an cutstanding yellow of real 
merit. 
HILDA BERGEN—Blooms Oct. 30th from early September bud; a 7- 
inch incurved bronze flower that holds its color to full maturity; 
height 4 feet; handles unusually well and is very popular among 
the bronzes. 
ROSE CHOCHARD—An incurved light pink of medium height. The 
bloom is 6 inches and over and is incurved in form. Select bud by 
mid-August and get perfect bloom by October 23rd. 
OLD GOLD—Not so sure of name, as I have purchased it under va- 
rious names. A perfect incurved 8-inch clear yellow bloom on 4 ft. 
stem, by November lst. 
AMBASSADOR—While not a recent introduction, its earliness and 
large size keep it in front ranks. It is a pure white, incurved, per- 
fect in conformation, and may be grown nearly as large as the 
Turners. It will NOT stand heavy feeding. Ordinary garden soil 
is good enough. If pushed much it will just “burn up.” A terminal 
bud around the last week of August will give perfect bloom the 
last day or so of October. 
OLD ROSE—A large incurved deep pink that is perfect for shading— 
even held its color with me through our long drought in the fall of 
1940 out in the open. Grows over 3 feet and the bloom is of large 
size and possesses excellent substance. Blooms the last week in 
October. 
YELLOW AMBASSADOR—A clear yellow sport of the above; identical 
in all other respects. Makes a good combination with the white 
Ambassador. Do NOT feed either variety heavily, as they positively, 
can not stand heavy forcing. 
GOLDEN GLORY—A handsome upright plant 4 ft. high, with 7 inch 
globular flowers of perfect finish and of a clear yellow color. Take 
bud around August 30th and obtain bloom by October 28th. 
COLUMBUS DISPATCH—A very vigorous deep yellow variety that 
will attain a height of 5 feet from June lst planting, and mature 
an 8-inch incurved bloom by the end of October. Best bud around 
Sept. lst. With me a good early yellow and easy to handle. 
STATELY WHITE—A tall pure white, with perfect rounded bloom 
maturing Nov. Ist from early terminal bud. 
MRS. HENRY ROBINSON—A veriety very popular near New Orleans 
as it blooms just right for All Saint’s Day—November lst. It is an 
incurved white 6 to 7 inches in diameter. Requires an early bud. 
Grows around 4 ft. tall. 
WILLIAM TURNER—Blooms Nov. lst from Aug. 30th bud. While not 
a new variety, it is still surpassed only by a few of the later in- 
troductions; a grand incurved bloom of purest white; very impos- 
ing. Semi-dwarf in growth. 
YELLOW TURNER—The yellow sport of this grand old variety. 
PINK TURNER—Often sold under the name Mrs. J. Leslie Davis, but 
by whatever name it is a pink sport of William Turner. Identical 
in all other respects. 
SNOW WHITE—Blooms Oct. 30 from early September bud. An extra 
large incurved white bloom with effect like unpolished marble. By 
far the best second-early large white I have ever grown; can not 
be too highly recommended.
