RECOMMENDED VARIETIES 
(For Year ‘Round Flowering) 
The following variety recommendations are keyed by letter groups to the flowering schedules starting 
on page 30. For example, to flower Mums on April 16, the schedule on page 30 refers to variety list 
“BY” and ‘J.“" List ‘’B’’ below includes our recommendations for Pomps for this period; list ‘J’’ our 
recommendations for Standards. 
These variety recommendations are based on our year ‘round flowering trial program conducted at West 
Chicago. During the past year over 240 varieties (new and old) were flowered at different periods. 
The following selections are those that rated ‘‘tops’’ in our book. Experiences of growers in other sec- 
tions have also guided us in making up these lists.
