Omega 
(YODER BROS.) 
A deep lemon yellow pompon 
maturing December 10, just nicely 
following Sunnyside. Omega com- 
bines an exceptionally strong, vig- 
ourous habit and beautiful dark, 
| glossy foliage with a rigid, wiry 
iy Ly spray. The formal flower possesses 
i /, Met unusual substance and keeping 
quality. No blindness 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 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. 
%: 

Unhesitatingly we recommend Omega as the best pompon to follow Sunnyside. 
Red Ru 4E An exquisitely colored, well rounded, large 
pompon blooming November 5. The color 
is a beautiful blenc of orange, red and chrome 
bronze similar to Natoma. The habit ot 
growth ts clean, uniform, and vigorous with 
excellent foliage and well branched sprays. 
The scintillating color is an epoch in chrys- 
anthemum breeding but it is sensitive to in- 
tense light and is, therefore, best adapted to 
later greenhouse shadings and natural flow- 
ering. 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.
