yellow, copper and bronze shades mingled somewhat as the coloring 
of the Talisman Rose. Matures here by October 10th. 
IREN E—A very early white button pompon, maturing here shortly after 
the middle of October. Growth is short and compact. Grows well 
in pots. Very poular as an extra white button. 
Stal ee E—A clear yellow sport of the popular white pompon 
VARSiTY—This is a very dependable early small button pompon. Up- 
right nabit of growth, attaining about 21% feet and producing a pro- 
fusion of yellow button poms. 
POT OF GOLD—A recent introduction from the Dept. of Agriculture. 
It is a very tall grower—5 ft. with me, and does well when dis- 
budded. Blooms true ball type, bronzy-yellow in color. Matures 
its blooms by mid-October. 
MURILLO—While not quite as early as some hardies, it still is one of 
the best pinks in the early hardy section. Also very strong growth 
and hardy. A favorite among the pinks. Blooms mid-October on. 
GLOMORO—A very free flowering bronzy orange pompon with blooms 
about 14% inches in diameter. Has proved very dependable for out- 
side planting and is very popular owing to its early maturity— 
October 5th to 10th. Grows about 2 feet in height. 
GRANNY SCOVILL—A warm coral-bronze in color, dwarf and branch- 
ing growth with excellent foliage. Individual blooms about 4 inches 
in diameter and of the shaggy type. Height about 2 feet. Matures 
by mid-October. 
YELLOW GEM—tThis new pompon is highly recommended for outside 
planting as it is low of growth—15 inches, very free flowering and 
matures its blooms from October 15th on. Perfect for edging a bed 
of taller growing varieties. 
SNOW CLOUD—This is a pure white pompon of the large type. With 
me it reaches about 3 feet and matures its blooms by mid-October. 
RED FLARE—One of the first bright red pompon varieties to mature. 
It is true pompon type about 2 inches in diameter; strong upright 
growth and attains about 20 inches in height; matures its blooms 
by mid-October. 
MULDOON—A xather unusual color—purplish amaranth. The flowers 
are of the pompon type. The variety is free flowering and of good 
growth. Blooms 2 inches in diameter mature by mid-October on 
plants around 2 ft. in height. 
LUCIFER—This is truly a blazing red variety of the decorative type. 
With me it grows tall and matures its fiery red blooms by the mid- 
dle of October. 
DOTSON, PINK—With me an unusually good early old rose button. It 
is rather short in growth, but right after middle of October is cov- 
ered with old rose buttons that hold their color here. 
PINK DOT—A large-flowering pompon of light pink color with a dark 
spot in the center. It grows tall and matures the last week in Oc- 
tober. Also fine for sprays. A popular early pink pompon. 
YELLOW DOT—The yellow sport of Pink Dot—Identical in all respects 
except color. Makes an ideal companion flower for Pink Dot. 
SARDA—A deep pink sport from PINK DOT; Of a very even and pleas- 
ing shade and shows the contrasting eye so characteristic of Pink 
Dot. Blooms 2 inches; Height 312 ft. Blooms Oct. 25th. 
ARCADIA—A really outstanding late introduction. A large pure white 
pompon that makes a perfect ball. Is of vigorous growth, 3% ft., 
and an excellent producer. Also requires practically no disbudding, 
which is an important consideration. I predict it will take the lead 
in its class and color. Matures fully by October 20th.
