Cole’s New LITTLE BILL 
Our own novelty introduction for 1945. We think this is the very finest of 
the new Cushion Pompon type Mums. The prevailing color is a lovely old 
gold and bronze, plentifully shot and overcast with silver. The entire effect is 
that of a 12-inch mound, 18 inches across, studded with a myriad of flashing 
jewels. The flowers hold well, showing no signs of fading whatsoever, until 
they are completely through blooming. No garden is complete without several 
. ieee. We think it one of the finest introductions of recent years. 85c each:
