Bright Eyes—Blush pink with bright carmine eye. October 
30th. 
Bronze Masterpiece—A very handsome glistening bronze large 
Pompon, flowering when naturally grown about November 
15th, height 21% feet, and is extremely free flowering in 
habit. Wonderfully clean grower and one that is a ‘decided 
addition to the Pompon classes. Matures about first week in 
November. 
Claret—Deep claret wine color. Flower about two inches in 
diameter. October 30th. 
Copper Quill—A sport of “Gold Imperial” with the same 
excellent growing habits. A good keeper and a fine shipper. 
The general effect when looking at a spray of these varieties 
is coppery gold, and the individual petals curl inwardly boat 
shaped and are deep Indian red. The reverse of the petals 
curling up, as they do, show very prominently and looks like 
a shining bronzy copper. Should be one of our most popular 
varieties. 
Debonair—Rich crimson decorative Pompon, blooming nor- 
mally about December 5th. Its symmetry combined with the 
rich velvety gloss and intense color creates enthusiastic com- 
ment wherever shown. In the 1945 National Flower Show in 
Cleveland it took top honors in seedling competition. Vigor- 
ous, healthy growth and long stiff stems are an added 
attraction for this fine variety. 
December Gold—Coloring an intense rich clear gold. Im- 
proved Pompon of excellent habit and very free flowering. 
Matures in early December. 
Ember Glow—A tall, stiff, well-branched Pompon of tangerine
