MATCHLESS (De Petris) 
Judged by present day standards this variety by all odds seems to be 
the best white pompon introduced to date. Matchless possesses large 
solid blooms of great substance. These are well placed on strong sprays. 
Stems are of ample length and are clean, straight and rigid. Its 
growth is very free and robust with beautiful light green luxuri- 
ant foliage. The variety breaks 
freely from pinches and pro- 
duces well under nearly all 
conditions, the production 
being very good either in 
ground or raised benches. 
Normal blooming date Novem- 
ber 20th to 22nd, making it 
ideal for Thanksgiving. 
Matchless shades well and for 
this purpose should be an ex- 
cellent variety to follow Bush- 
nell and similar varieties. We 
can recommend Matchless as 
a productive and an easily 
grown variety that responds 
well to nearly all types of cul- 
tural conditions. Awarded 
gold medal 1943. Price $100.00. 

GOLDEN EMBLEM (De Petris) 

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. It combines good 
quality with good production 
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. Price $100.00.
