to be considerably resistant to frost damage too. It grows 4 feet

POMPONS, BUTTONS, and Varieties Often 
Listed as HARDY 
The following three varieties of ‘“‘Cushion” pompons were first in- 
troduced last year by the originators of the Korean strain. They ma- 
ture here from September on. They have been widely advertised and 
you perhans have seen pictures of them. I will ship them as long as 
they last at 25 cents each. 
SEPTEMBER CLOUD—Beautifully rounded polossoms, purest white in 
color with primrose shading in the center. Wonderfully dark green 
contrasting foliage. Nicely rounded, compact plant completely cov- 
ered with flowers from mid-September until frost. The best early 
white pompon. 
SEPTEMBER BRONZE—The warm bronze tints of Autumn are beauti- - 
fully reflected in about the shapeliest little pompons you have ever 
seen; Quantities of blooms shading from golden bronze to intense 
warm bronze simply cover the plant from mid-September on 
through into November. 
SEPTEMBER GOLD—Brilliant golden-yellow blossoms, trim and neat, 
twenty-five or more to a spray, completely covers the shapely, well- 
rounded plant by mid-September and continue on until the sea- 
son’s end. Plants attain about 18 inches in height and make color- 
ful mounds in yard or garden. Immensely prolific and somewhat 
earlier in succeeding years. A definite advance in cushion mums. 
Various Types of Pompons——15 cents each; $1.50 dozen 
(Labelied—Your Selection) 
AZALEAMUM, PINK CUSHION or AMELiA—Known under several 
names, but under either an old variety still good, due to its early 
flowering. It is a bringht pink that starts blooming in September 
and continues until frost. Makes a low round bushy plant ideally 
suited for pot culture. Not recommended for extreme South for 
garden culture as it starts blooming when the sun is still too hot, 
consequently the bloom burns. 
YELLOW AMELIA—The yellow sport of Amelia; identical in other 
respects. 
RED AMELIA—The red sport of Amelia. Its flowers are a little smaller 
than the original Amelia and its blooms about 10 days later; other- 
wise the same as Amelia. 
WHITE AZALEAMUM or AMELIA—The white sport of Amelia, bloom- 
ing at the same time, but with me throws quite a number of blooms 
with a slight pinkish cast. 
FRANCES WHITTLESEY—A rich bronze and garnet hardy of the de- 
corative type starting to bloom by the first of October. Habit of 
growth erect, but attains only medium height.
