ADMIRATION—Achieving the utmost in plant hardi- 
ness plus the maximum in floral beauty. A delight- 
ful blend of bright peach, salmon fawn and soft red- 
gold flushes. Exquisitely double 3 inch bloom; splen- 
did, heavy sprays. Rugged, massively headed oak- 
like 2% foot plant. Lavishly garlanded—superbly 
toned—100% hardy in 1950’s open winter. Who 
could ask for more? Late September. 
BOWL O’ GOLD—Just what you want, a brilliant, 
early cushion with really shapely flowers. By far 
the finest yellow cushion we have ever grown. Only 
1 foot tall, spreads glitteringly to 2 feet or so. Su- 
perb 2 inch pompon of gleaming canary yellow. A 
thick, luxurious rug of scintillating gold to brighten 
dreary fall days. Ideal for corners, rock gardens, 
etc. Starts to bloom early September. 
MISCHIEF—tThe cutest little rascal you ever saw—a 
piquant little gamin Bristol visitors rave over. Hun- 
dreds of tiny sparkling rubies studded like velvety 
stars astride a rich green world. Single blossoms not 
over 1 inch in size completely blanket the stocky 18- 
24 inch plants. Glowing beetroot-purple to amaranth 
and deep rose-red—alive with roguish impudence! 
A most novel garden accent, also very free with 
dainty sprays for corsages. Very, very hardy. “The 
‘Mum that looks like a Cineraria.” October 1. 
GONDOLIER—Richly flavored with exotic splendor for 
America’s fall pageantry. Like wine-dipped jewels 
of the Orient, the 3% inch flowers, very full and deep, 
seem to drip with indescribable crimson-vermilion 
to claret colorings. Faintly silver-dusted at height 
of beauty. Strong, clean-limbed 2% foot cutting 
stems in abundance. Extraordinarily lovely in bou- 
quets with white or yellow, especially under artifi- 
cial light. Late September. 
REVERIE—“Jean Treadway,” still a highly favored 
pink, has now bestowed this stunning sport upon 
gardeners. Same rich, dark foliage, same breath- 
taking contrast of “eye” and rest of flower. Color— 
almost like heavily creamed coffee. A lovely soft 
maple walnut with resplendently striking mahogany 
“eye,” later taking on faint coral pink flush. Seems 
to have great appeal to women especially. 2 ft. Late 
September.

ALEX CUMMING—From the last batch of seedlings 
planted by the late master mum breeder. Will delight 
all with its size, vigor and color. Superb 4 inch flowers 
open the richest, purest cerise possible, and soften 
to cleanly pleasant rose. The majestic blooms incurve 
at center and recurve at petal ends, giving overall 
exotic appearance of a greenhouse commercial. Faint- 
ly golden tinge at flower’s center adds lovely glow 
under artificial light. A lusty 2% foot plant, it offers 
many vivid 18 inch stems for cutting single blos- 
soms. Really a bouquet to each plant and a true eye- 
ful from October 3 on.
