that brings it to the ‘“‘plastique” shades used so effectively 
in modern decoration. There is absolutely no hint of magen- 
ta either in the prime bloom or the fading flower. It grows 
medium tall and the deep, lush, forest green foliage, grow- 
ing to the ground, is a complimentary frame for the abun- 
dance of very rich flowers.

leoks like a formal hedge. 5-10 blooms in clusters, bright, 
non-fading yellow. 3” flowers are very double, high cen- 
tered, and have a pronounced resemblance to the florist’s 
carnation. This departure is one of the most exciting that 
has ever happened in Chrysanthemums! Very early.

PETRISIAN MAUVE. This is an intermediate pompon, hy- 
brids of which there will never be enough for the garden 
or for pot plant sales. This variety has a color all its own, 
one which we have not seen in any other. It is closely held 
on a very symmetrical plant. Blooms full and complete by 
early October, original flowers hold their color through bad 
weather, new buds form and open reguarly until deep frost.

REDCOAT. As hardy as the men it pays tribute and as 
brilliant as the uniforms they wear. A strong grower re- 
sisting with casual abandon the culprits that take their toll 
from others less sturdy. Flowers are a really new red in 
Chrysanthemums. Vermilion is the closest comparison. 
Fully double, they appear on strong yet succulent stems 
growing medium high. 
HEAVY FIELD GROWN — Per 10, $2.50; Per 100, $20.00
