Some Chrysanthemum Novelties 



Mrs. O. H. KaUn. 



The handsome new varieties illus- 

 trated herewith are included in C. H. 

 Totty's list for this year. Following 

 is a brief description of each: 



Pockett's Crimson.— A glorious re- 

 flexed of the largest size, the color of 

 G. W. Childs, crimson and gold. Foli- 

 age and stem are ideal. It has re- 

 ceived four certificates and won the 

 grand sweepstakes at the Chicago 

 Show, being placed first of all the new 

 kinds exhibited in fourteen classes. 



Charles H. Totty— A chestnut scar- 

 let, altogether a bigger and better 

 thkig than Mrs. J. E. Dunne, stem and 

 foliage perfect. Certificated by Na- 

 tional Society (N. Y.) Florists' Club, 

 Lenox Horticultural Society and Mor- 

 ris County Florists' and Gardeners' So- 

 ciety. 



Frank Payne. 



Mrs. C. H. Totty.— Light pink, true 

 reflexed, a beautiful refined flower that 

 appeals to every one. Dwarf, sturdy 

 growth with foliage well up to the 

 flower. 



Mrs. 0. H. Kahn— A bronze with 

 mahogany shading that lights up beau- 

 tifully. Won the "any other color" 

 classes on both the exhibition and 

 commercial scale in the seedling com- 

 petition at Chicago and has received 

 five other certificates. 



Pockett's Surprise. — Rosy crimson, 

 one of Pockett's very best. It is a 

 monster flower and has a very heavy 

 stem that carries the flower perfectly. 

 This as an exhibition flower will rank 

 high, as the petals stand straight out 

 and show to the best advantage. 



Mrs. Charles H. Totty. 



G. W. Pook.— Entirely distinct in 

 shape. Flower is loosely incurving 

 and shows only the salmon bronze re- 

 verse. The growth is splendid and fo- 

 liage enormous; has much more life in 

 the color than Mrs. G. Heaume. 



Frank Payne. — A light pink, same 

 color as Lady Hopetoun, but has the 

 advantage of making a stem heavy 

 enough to carry the flower erect. It 

 has been certificated in three coun- 

 tries. 



Clara Wells. — A true incurved and 

 the largest in its type that we have. 

 Color cream yellow. It will be heard 

 from as a commercial grower's flower, 

 as it can be planted closely and every 

 bud produces a perfect flower. As a 

 typical incurved it is the best thing 

 we ever grew.
