SELECT CftRySflNTflEMUMS. 



The following list of chrysanthemums 

 is suitable for pot culture, either for bush 

 plants or single stemmed plants for indi- 

 vidual blooms, and covers the season 

 from the earliest to the latest. The time 

 of coming into flower is in the order thev 

 are placed, each color separate. 



I have avoided naming any of the new 

 varieties which are to be introduced in 

 1895 because they have not yet been 

 sufficiently tried for pot culture to enaljle 

 me to give a fair opinion upon them. 

 But the varieties given are all good and 

 have proven to be well suited for growing 

 in pots, and they embrace all the shades 

 of color in each class so that no mistake 

 can be made in selecting any or all of 

 them. Some of the earliest in' each class 

 will often bloom in perfection in the open 

 air if frost does not come too early; indeed 

 we bloomed many of them here the past 

 season in the opengrouiid without giving 

 them any protection whatever. 



Yellow: Yellow Queen, Mrs. J. C. 

 VVhilldin, Minerva, A. H. Fewkes, Major 

 Bonnaffon, Fascination, soft lemon; Glor- 

 iana, canary; H. L. Sunderbruch, Golden 

 Wedding. W. H. Lincoln, E. Dailledouze 

 and Dr. Covert. 



Pink: Portia, Ada Spaulding, Lady 

 Playfair, lora, Mrs. Geo. A. Magee, Eda 

 Prass, Maud Dean, Gaspard Rozain, 

 Achilles, Mrs. Walter Cutting, Oriana, 

 Titian. 



White: Miss Kate Bro wn, .\lba Venus. 

 Ivory, Mayflower (extra good), Marie 

 Louise, Mutual Friend, Mrs. H. McK. 

 Twombly, Mrs. John H. Starin, Miss F. 

 Thorley (Hardy type), L'Enfant desDeux 

 Mondes; Domination, Mrs. [. Jones, 

 Flora Hill. 



Other Colors: H. F. Spaulding, apri- 

 cot; Robert Owen, bronze, extra good; 

 Inter Ocean, white, shaded pink; Mrs. 

 Gordon Dexter, anemone, extra; Ada 

 Strickland, bronze, anemone; Geo. W. 

 Childs, anemone; Mrs. A. J Drexel, plum 

 color; Tuxedo, amber; Redondo, deep 

 bronze; Summit, dahlia form; and Pitcher 

 & Manda, white and yellow. 



In addition to the above, all of which 

 are good for bench culture as well as for 

 growing in pots the follovi'ing are really 

 fine late varieties, but onlv suitable for 

 growing planted out on benches in the 

 greenhouse: Mrs. J. Geo. lis, very large 

 white; Oriana, soft pink, very beautiful 

 flower; Charlotte, very fine late white, 

 incurved Japanese; Challenge, large yel- 

 low, very fine when in perfection; and 

 Mrs. Bruce FindUy, blush pink, verv 

 large bold flower. Niveus still maintains 

 its reputation as a very fine white which 

 can be kept quite late. Prairie Rose is 

 another very beautiful shade of pink and 

 quite distinct. Pres. W. R. Smith is also 

 a very beautiful pink which can be kept 

 well. For a very late yellow there is 

 nothing better than Dr. Covert. This is 

 the variety that was so largely u.sed bv 

 the admirers of Princeton College at the 

 last Princeton-Yale football game. It is 

 very large and altogether a fine varietv, 

 and Flora Hill, for a late white, cons{i- 

 tutes the cream of the verv late varieties.
