green luxuriant foliage. 
The variety breaks freely from pinches and 
produces well under nearly all conditions, the 
production being very good either in ground 
or raised benches. 
Normal blooming date November 20th to 
22nd, making it ideal for Thanksgiving. 
Matchless shades well and for this purpose 
should be an excellent variety to follow Bush- 
nell and similar varieties. 
We can recommend Matchless as a pro- 
ductive and an easily grown variety that 
responds well to nearly all types of cultural 
conditions besides being a pompon of very 
high quality.

GOLDEN EMBLEM 
(De Petris) 
Ae 
Medium sized clear yellow pompon that 
blooms normally the end of November. The 
flowers are produced on well spaced sprays 
and are of close compact form with very 
good substance. 
Golden Emblem is easy to grow and re- 
sponds well to shading. 
It combines good quality with good pro- 
duction and disease resistance. 
Good results are obtained either in ground 
or raised benches. It will not produce blind 
growth so common in late varieties. 
Maturing the latter part of November, 
Golden Emblem will be found to be a welcome 
addition to yellow pompons in that season 
where quality and easy growth is combined 
with good production.

YELLOW CAMEO 
(Yoder Bros.) 
A deep lemon yellow sport from Cameo. 
The form and growth habit are identical with 
the parent variety. Because of the popularity 
of Cameo, this attractive yellow counterpart 
should be a very valuable variety for early 
December flowering.
