BRE Ghee VS GV aes, 
SIX NEW 
Here are six promising new Pomps from the Dept. 
of Horticulture, University of Illinois. All six are 
mid-November blooming. Included are the big 
selling fall colors—white, bronze, yellow, red. 
The Floriculture Division at Illinois has carried 
on extensive Mum breeding work for over 30 years. 
The program was started under Prof. Herman 
Dorner, is now carried on under Prof. Stanley Hall 
and Prof. John R. Culbert. Floriculture students 
do much of the actual work involved. It has already 
given the trade such valuable Pomps as Masterpiece, 
Illini Gold, Bobby, and others. These six newcomers 
were selected from several hundred promising 
seedlings by a committee of prominent Illinois 
florists. We believe they will be well worth includ- 
ing in your 1950 Mum plantings. 
They will be propagated by us at West Chicago 
under royalty agreement with the University thru 
the Illinois State Florists’ Association.

ILLINT SNOWDRIFT 
Oddity. Pure white when full open, soft yellow 
in the center when immature. The loosely ar- 
ranged fringed florets give a spidery effect. The 
flowers are 3 inches in diameter. This variety is 
of special value for corsage, wedding, and novelty 
work. The keeping quality is satisfactory. The 
flowers are borne in fairly loose sprays. The 
stems are somewhat thin, but the production is 
good. Grow in spray form. Blooms November 15. 
ILLIN]T BOUNTIFUL 
Crisp white with chartreuse center when partly 
open, changing to pure, creamy white with deep 
cream center when mature. The color is attrac- 
tive at all stages of development. The rather flat, 
full-centered flowers are 2 inches in diameter. 
The sprays are of uniform quality, and production 
is excellent. The stems are long and stiff. Grow 
in sprays. Blooms November 25. 
ILLIN! REDHEAD 
Decorative pompon. Dark velvety cardinal red. 
Flowers are 134 inches in diameter. Good pro- 
duction of sprays of uniform quality on stiff stems 
with dark foliage. Blooms November 17.
