NEW VARIETIES 






Ree 
(YODER BROS.) 
A lively cameo pink daisy that 
blooms naturally with Masterpiece, 
November 15. The variety is of ex- 
tremely easy culture. Its free, vig- 
orous growth makes for top pro- 
duction. It is medium to tall in 
height, and the strong stems de- 
velop big, well branched sprays. The 
response of Broacde to shading is 
similar to that of Masterpeice 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, October Pink and W. H. 
Buckingham, and the later variety, Valencia, we suggest Brocade. 
Debonair 
(YODER BROS.) 

A rich crimson red decorative pompon that 
blooms normally 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 Chrys- 
anthemum Show in Cleveland it took top 
honors in seedling competition. Moderate 
temperatures, optimum light intensity and 
other environmental conditions which pro- 
mote 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 and because 
of the strong consumer demand for this color, 
it commands premium prices.
