Chrysanthemums of 1896. 317 



Oriental Glory (Yoshiike). — High built, compact, cj'lindrical, whorled, 

 white, the whorled inner rays suffused with delicate crimson pink which fades 

 as flower becomes older. The cylindrical form relaxes about the same time to 

 the spherical. We had only one plant and one flower and cannot judge of 

 its commercial qualities. Fig. 80. 



Western Pride (Yoshiike). — Cardinal, reverse greenish yellow. Recom- 

 mend to amateurs who like fantastic and Japanesque creations. The younger 

 stages are the most eccentric and interesting. 



Hairy. 



Midnight (Spaulding). — Noted because it is an odd color in this class. The 



shade of crimson is rather dull and not as attractive as the familiar Zo;«'5 Boeh- 



, mer. Mrs. H. N. Higinbothain has been grown here to a much greater size. 



Freeman, 3Irs. C. B. (Spaulding). — This is the only yellow variety we have 



seen of this class. The color fades as much as the very popular Philadelphia.

 tions for special purposes :
