Kodachrome by F. F. Rockwell 
Briefly, it is the most gorgeous blending of bronze and orange- 
scarlet tones ever seen in a pompon. Amazingly prolific, the 
strong, branching, 2-foot plants often carry 75 or more sym- 
metrically perfect flowers to a single spray, several sprays to a 
markably frost proof, resisting November storms and retaining 
its full brilliance long after many others are destroyed. 
This dazzling pompon, we believe, is destined to be an all-time 
plant. 
Without a growing fault, the plant is a thing of beauty in its 
lusty, vigorous appearance. In full flower early October, it is re-

Concerning the New 
“FRED ROCKWELL” MUM 
For many years now it has been my pleasure to pay an annual visit 
to the Bristol Nurseries’ trial grounds, and to watch the progress of 
their work in developing better and hardier chrysanthemums. I have 
enjoyed also the privilege of testing in my own garden many of their 
most promising seedlings. 
Two years ago Mr. Cumming asked me what I considered the best 
of his many new varieties not yet introduced. There was one which, 
it seemed to me, “had everything’’—vigor, exceptional winter hardi- 
ness, nice branching habit, good foliage, good form, profusion of 
bloom, long flowering season, and my favorite chrysanthemum color, 
a rich, glowing coppery bronze, enlivened by a touch of gold on the 
reverse of the incurved center petals. 
I am glad to say that many of my friends who know ’mums agree 
with me as to the merits of this new variety; it stood up particularly 
well in test gardens last fall. I am very pleased to have it bear my 
name.
