A. B.C. Supreme Quality Bulbs and Plants 

PINOCCHIO (Yoder Bros.) 
A glistening white button for early cloth house shading. It responds 
beautifully to black cloth treatment and for this reason we believe it will 
fill the insistent demand for a small white pompon that can be easily 
shaded into late August and early September maturity. The flower is 
a beautifully formed tightly quilled button of lively and dainty appear- 
ance. It is of hard substance and has good keeping and shipping qual- 
ities. The color is a clear sparkling white. The growth is vigorous, taller 
than Irene and requires less time between pinching and shading to form 
a fuller spray of flowers. Bunches of Pinocchio appear smarter than Irene 
because the spray formation is more nearly single planed; and fresher 
because of the more uniform opening of its flowers. Price: $6.00 per 
hundred Rooted Cuttings. 
GRANITE STATE 


IVANHOE (Yoder Bros.) 
A small reddish bronze mum, especially suited for early cloth house 
culture. The flower is decorative in form, similar but more formal than 
Glitters. Its hard substance gives it unusual shipping quality. Foliage 
is small and is carried right up to the bloom. Stems are rigid and must 
be disbudded to a single flower. Like the Mandel varieties, it is vigorous 
and consistently produces a uniform crop. Because of its free breaking 
habit, it will stand fairly close cropping and still produce uniform stems. 
This same quality results in well shaped plants when grown in pots. 
Ivanhoe holds its color well under early shade when good bronze dis- 
buds command a premium market. Its natural season is November Ist. 
Price: $6.00 per hundred Rooted Cuttings. 

PINOCCHIO 
GRANITE STATE 
A small, clear white mum ideally suited for pot plant culture. The flower 
is of good substance, semi-incurved form and matures normally October 
25. The growth habit is similar to Richard Mandel, being dwarf and 
compact. Granite State responds well to early shade, producing a quality 
flower much superior to Christina. A fine contribution to pot plant cul- 
ture from the University of New Hampshire. Price: $6.00 per hundred 
Rooted Cuttings. 
YELLOW CAMEO (Yoder Bros.) 
A deep lemon yellow sport from Cameo. The form and growth habit are 
identical with the parent variety. Because of the increasing popularity 
of Cameo, this attractive yellow counterpart should be a very valuable 
variety for early December flowering, when Yellow Cordova is cut out 
and December Gold and Vibrant not yet ready to cut. The flower opens 
slowly, increasing in size, attractiveness and substance until at full 
maturity it is at its best. Even after full development the crop may be 
held for a considerable time. Because of its strong well branched spray 
and large sized flowers, it bunches to good advantage. Very acceptable 
in any market. A good producer that is easy to grow. Price: $6.00 per 
hundred Rooted Cuttings.
