JEWELL—Rightly named, as with me it has been a perfect “Jewel.” It 
is a true pompon reminding me very much of the bachelor buttons 
seen in old-fashioned gardens. This resemblance is true both as to 
color and form. It matures by October 20th and is widely grown— 
both in pots and yard or garden. 
AUTUMN GLOW—Usually classed as a hardy, and with me justly so as 
it is unusually winter-resistant. It’s blooms are a rosy crimson and 
are large for its type. The plant grows tall—about 4 feet with me, 
and seems to be just about ‘‘fool-proof.’”’ Blooms the latter part of 
October. 
PERSIAN ROSE—With me this is a very deep lavender pompon, having 
upright but short growth, and maturing its 1% inch button-type 
blooms by Oct. 25th. Held its color in 1942 well. 
IMPROVED RODELL—An excellent early yellow ball-shaped pompon. 
Blooms 14% inches in diameter, maturing by Oct. 25th. Continues 
to hold its popularity. 
ETHEL—A bright red baby pompon. Height about 2% feet and ma- 
turing about Oct. 25th. Color very pleasing; very free flowering 
and makes an excellent pot plant. 
CAPTAIN COOK—A tall growing, soft clear pink pompon of perfect 
ball shape. May be disbudded and grown 6 blooms per plant. Ma- 
tures October 25th. 
ROSE A DORE—An extra fine rose pink true pompon of very compact 
form. Can be grown as a cluster or as a disbud pompon; also makes 
a nice pot plant. Matures the last week of October. 
CORA PECK BUHL—An excellent early yellow button variety that me- 
tures its blooms by the last week of October. It is very popular as 
its color is probably the deepest shade of yellow in early pompons. 
JUDITH ANDERSON—A dwarf, low-growing plant with unusually nice 
foliage—fine for pot plants. It is literally covered in late October 
with yellow button mums about an inch in diameter. With me 
handles well. 
NELLIE KLERIS—A large-flowering pompon of the lavender-pink ~ 
class. It is a tall grower, blooms very double, and matures by last 
week in October. Held its color well here. 
ERMALINDA—An old rose color with a silvery sheen; very double and 
perfect form; flowering about 112 inches in diameter when slightly 
disbudded; strong upright growth. Also makes good pot plant; has 
done unusually well for me. Matures Oct. 25th. 
BRONZE ERMALINDA—The bronze sport of the original pink Erma- 
linda; identical in all other respects. 
FIREBIRD—While not extra early, it is still one of the best rust-red 
varieties of pompons. The color is bright and habit of growth up- 
right. Flowers 24% inches in diameter maturing last week of Oct- 
ober. Erect grower attaining better than 3 feet. 
GOLD MINE—A bright yellow of the button type, producing an abund- 
ance of blooms around October 28th. 
CLARA JAMISON—A very bronze pompon with a reddish shade ming- 
led with the bronze. It is a heavy producer and comes in right for 
Hallowe’en. 
EDITH NEWBERRY-—A tall growing variety of the large pompon type. 
The color is a mixture of orange and rust—typical fall coloring, and 
as it matures the first week in November it escapes early frost here. 
SEA GULL—A tall-growing intermediate white pompon, usually dis- 
budded and grown as a disbud pompon. Valuable for this purpose 
as it attains good height and yet matures by Nov. 1st. Shades well 
too.
