DARK PINK ORCHID QUEEN (Delworth) 
An intense mauve pink sport from Orchid Queen with 
the added attributes of increased vigor in both plant and 
flower. The importance of its value over its parent for 
early shading has been proven by extensive tests. The 
color is much deeper. The flower is larger and more fully 
rounded. The foliage, stem and height of the plant are 
larger and stronger than the original. Dark Pink Orchid 
Queen takes its place in list of good standards.

BROCADE (Yoder Bros.) 
A lively cameo pink daisy that blooms naturally with 
Masterpiece, November 15. The variety is of extremely 
easy culture. Its free, vigorous growth makes for top pro- 
duction. It is medium to tall in height, and the strong 
stems develop big, well branched sprays. The response of 
Brocade to shading is similar to that of Masterpiece and 
should be grouped with that variety in the shading program. 
Brocade is the pink daisy to compliment Masterpiece in 
later shadings and natural flowering. For a mid-season 
- pink single to fill the gap between the early pink singles, 
Oct. Pink and W. H. Buckingham.

SUNKIST (Yoder Bros.) 
An intense golden yellow single that flowers normally 
with Vibrant December 20, for the Christmas season. 
The variety lends itself to wide variations in culture and 
dependably produces a profitable crop. Like Vibrant, 
Yukon, and Rosalind it is well suited to late planting and 
ground bed culture. In preliminary trials it has responded 
very satisfactorily when lighted for delayed flowering. 
Easily grown and readily sold, Sunkist fills a real demand 
for golden Christmas daisies.

RED RUST (Depetris) 
An exquisitely colored, well rounded, large pompon 
blooming November 5. The color is a beautiful blend of 
orange, red and chrome bronze similar to Natoma. The 
habit of growth is clean, uniform, and vigorous with ex- 
cellent foliage and well branched sprays. The scintillating 
color is an epoch in chrysanthemum breeding but it ts 
sensitive to intense light and is, therefore, best adapted 
to later greenhouse shadings and natural flowering. It 
possesses greater vigor and is easier to grow than Natoma. 
The production excels that of Navaho. In its natural sea- 
son Red Rust should become a very important variety in 
creating greater consumer appeal.

LAKME (Depetris) 
A glistening small white pompon that matures normally 
November 12. It possesses a hard, durable, formal flower 
that easily satisfies the most critical demands for keeping 
and shipping quality. Its trim, smart appearance is en- 
hanced by a chartreuse eye. The habit of growth is free, 
wiry and the dark, rigid stems develop a very productive 
compound spray. In growth habit and cultural require- 
ments it very closely resembles the variety Cassandra. Its 
black cloth response is rapid and just nicely follows 
Pinocchio in the shading program. It lends itself well to 
out-of-season flowering and has been outstanding in the 
Cornell trials. High, uniform producer.

DEBONAIR (Yoder Bros.) 
A rich crimson red decorative pompon that blooms nor- 
mally December 5. The beauty and symmetry of its form 
combined with the velvety gloss of its rich and intense color 
has never failed to create enthusiastic comment. Shaded 
to flower for the 1945 National Chrysanthemum Show in 
Cleveland it took top honors in seedling competition. 
Moderate temperatures, optimum light intensity and other 
environmental conditions which promote a firm wood and 
gradual elongation of stem and spray best suit this variety. 
Debonair can be lighted for the Christmas Season. The 
growth is vigorous, and healthy.

OMEGA (Yoder Bros.) 
A deep lemon yellow pompon maturing December 10, 
just nicely following Sunnyside. Omega combines an ex- 
ceptionally strong, vigorous habit and beautiful dark, glossy 
foliage with a rigid, wiry spray. The formal flower 
possesses unusual substance and keeping quality. No blind- 
ness has ever been apparent and tests indicate a very high 
degree of resistance to Verticillium. Omega in its natural 
season compliments Sunnyside by extending the season of 
top quality yellow pompons. It is equally valuable on 
raised benches or ground beds. On the latter with late 
planting and lights it is easily had for Christmas. It has 
been successfully lighted into February flowering.
