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 excellent foliage and well branched sprays. The 
scintillating color is an epoch in chrysanthemum breed- 
ing but it is 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 season Red Rust should become 
a very important variety in creating greater consumer 
appeal and stimulating interest in intrinsically vivid and 
useful colors. 

OMEGA (Yoder Bros.) 
A deep lemon yellow pompon maturing December 
10, just nicely following Sunnyside. Omega combines 
an exceptionally strong, vigorous habit and beautiful 
dark, glossy foliage with a rigid, wiry spray. The formal 
flower possesses unusual substance and keeping quality.
