COPPER ROCKET. (No. 417. Parent: Patricia Nelson.) The cop- 
pery bronze quilled petals expanding outwardly like a bursting 
rocket. The flower is of good substance, maintaining both its color 
and shape lastingly. Has good foliage and strong stem. Height, 
medium. Matures around Nov. 5 on. Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 per 
dozen. (See illustration below.) 

COPPER ROCKET 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. A clear yellow sport of Country 
Maiden. See description and full color illustration on front cover. 

EMPEROR 
EMPEROR. (No. 335. Parent: Glitters.) A bronzy red Commercial 
cut flower type that normally matures about October 20. For best 
results, disbud to a stem 5 to 6 blooms to a plant. This flower is 
much larger than “Ivanhoe,” holding its color remarkably well 
even in warm temperature of October sunshine. Height, medium. 
Price: $1.00 each, $10 per dozen. (See illustration below.) 
FERN EDWARDS. (No. 121. Parent: William Turner.) The size 
of this stately, magnificent, Exhibition flower may be comparable 
to that of its parent, the famous Turner variety, but it has stronger 
stem, better foliage and substance than any of the Turners. The 
photograph of this flower was taken from one of the seven average 
size blossoms carried on a plant grown in standard 8-inch pot. 
Its height is medium, reaching maturity around October 25. Price: 
$1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. 
GINNY LEE. (No. 154. Parent Sensation.) So much is a resem- 
blance of this flower to a single Dahlia blossom that foliage alone 
can differentiate the two. The color is flesh pink sometimes and 
pure white at another. The novelty flower should be included in 
every collector’s garden. Very free flowering variety, reaching full 
maturity around Oct. 15. Height, medium. Price: 50 cents each, 
$5.00 per dozen. (See illustration on page 4.) 
JOAN BERGER. (No. 138.) An handsome new introduction in 
Spoon Chrysanthemum. The color is clear Orchid pink. Owing to 
its very vigorous growing habit, this variety must be pinched sev- 
eral times to form a low growing bushy effect. One of our speci- 
men pots was over 7 feet in diameter, with solid mass of flowers 
4 inches across. Normally matures around Nov. 5 on. Price: 50 
cents each, $5.00 per dozen. 
LORRAINE. (No. 406. Parent: Virginia.) Aside from another of 
our new introductions named Marsha, this flower is by far the 
largest Spidery type we have grown to date. The blossom in the 
illustration was one of the eight uniform blossoms carried on single 
plant grown in standard 8-inch pot. The quilled petals of deep 
lemon yellow open at tips into spoon fishhook shape, curling in- 
ward. It has a very stiff stem like its parent and luxuriant foliage. 
Matures around Nov. 1 with us. A vigorous tall grower. Price: 
$2.00 each, $20.00 per dozen. (Illustration page 4.)
