BRISTOL’S BEST of 1954 
A Vintage Year 
The most spectacular of all 
early Mums, Flamboyant is 
recklessly ablaze with color by 
September 15. It offers a bold 
display of tangerine-scarlet, 
orange and bronze, shot through 
with frisky golden beams. This 
unmatched pageantry seems to 
be a gallant salute to all the 
Mums that have preceded Flam- 
boyant and all those to follow. 
The sturdy, 2 to 214-foot stems 
are perfect for cutting. A stand- 
by of the future for the North. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.75 
Another engaging September ornament and a neat 
cut flower. Deftly rounded, 2-inch blooms in breath- 
taking tones of soft moonlight, primrose and lemon- 
canary-yellow. The 18 to 24-inch plant is lavishly 
decked, from the ground up, with mounds of bloom 
by September 25. Soothing and striking. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.75 
A dream of pearl and ivory, 
with a melting fawn suffusion— 
really the epitome of grace and 
charm. This delicate pastel 
flower is suavely shaded, pre- 
senting a vision of delight. Not 
cold or lifeless; it even has a 
faint grayish tint in certain 
lights. The full-bodied bloom is 
about 31% inches across when 
completely open; its petals droop 
becomingly. The sturdy bush 
is very free flowering and de- 
pendable. It grows 2 feet tall 
and is well shaped. October 3. 
Don’t miss Vision. You'll ex- 
perience a thrill when its elusive 
color appears in your garden— 
and think what you can do with 
it in floral arrangements! 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.75
