MIKKELSEN & SONS GREENHOUSES 
WHITE FOMPONS, ANEMONES AND SINGLES 
Silver Cloud - - November 1 - - (9-week) 
A good producing white single with a little more class than Halo and 
heavier petaled. Fits into the flowering program on the same basis 
as Halo through spring, summer and early fall months. 
Freedom - - November 5 - = (10-week) 
A white single with excellent spray formation and flower substance. 
To be used from May to October in the greenhouse. 
White Top - = November 5 - - (10-week) 
An intermediate pure white decorative with very vigorous and rapid 
growing habits. Very highly recommended as "the" white pompon for 
April through November flowering in the greenhouse. Its pure white- 
ness, uniform response at all times, and high productivity makes it a 
must for the year around program as well as the natural mum season. 
Undoubtedly the best pompen developed to date in its response group. 
White Izola - - November 12 = = (10-week) 
An old variety reestablished for pot plant purposese A low compact 
prolific variety that needs some disbudding to add substance to the 
flowers. 
Illini Starflower - - University of Illinois - - November 18 - - (11-week) 
A distinct novelty in a white anemone. Quite large and very useful 
for retail growers. Its single row of threadlike petals does not 
allow it to be shipped any great distance. A different form in a 
commercial variety worthy of trial. 
Illini Peace - - University of Illinois - - November 25 - - (1l-week) 
An intermediate anemone with a well-formed cushion. Has gocd sub- 
stancee A very good producer helping to fill the list of white 
anemones at this time of year.

flower and a pot plant, particularly, the latter. 
White Snowdrop - - Mikkelsen - =- December 8 - = (13-week) 
A pure white sport of Snowdrop which is very unifcrm in growth, sub- 
stance, and production. Responds as does Snowdrop to shading for 
November production.
