Chrysanthemums. 



CflRYSflNTtlEMUMS IN THE GRBENflOUSE OF 

 MR. WM. BflRR, ORANGE, N. J. 



The accompanying illustration, en- 

 firaved from a photograph taken specially 

 for Gardening, shows a view in one of 

 the greenhouses in the garden of Mr. Wm. 

 Marr, Llewellyn Park, Orange, N. J. The 

 I'hrvsanthemums are single stem, one 

 flowered plants grown in 6-inch sized 

 ])ots. John Farrell, thegardener, is quite 

 an adept in growing fine chrysanthe- 

 mums. The plants shown in the picture 

 were raised from cuttings struck last 



June, and have been grown on in pots 

 since then. Among the most noticeable 

 varieties in the group are Latest Fad, 

 yellow ribbons, Xyanza, crimson and 

 gold; Robert M. Grey, terra cotta, hairy, 

 Louis Boehmer, purplish pink, hairy; 

 Georgienne Bramhall, primrose yellow; 

 Mont Blanc, white, reflexed, Condor, 

 white; and American Eagle and San Joa- 

 quin, fine anemone varieties. Kumo is a 

 new variety, a seedling of Mme. Drexel 

 and similar to it in color — pink — but the 

 flower is very large, loosely shaped, and 

 shows the eye. It is fine as a single- 

 flowered variety, but not so good a speci- 

 men plant. It is the tall one seen to the 

 left and also on the floor, in the picture. 

 The following varieties have also done 

 well here. Mrs. George West, pink, 



incurved; Niveus, white and fine for single 

 blooms; L. Canning, similar to the last in 

 shape, but so large or of such a pure 

 white color, it makes a fine pot plant 

 though; and The Queen, one of the best of 

 all incurved white sorts for private or 

 commercial purposes. Other extra fine 

 s'lrts are Harry Balsley, delicate pink; 

 Pitcher & Manda, yellow and white; 

 Mrs. George Magee, a ball of pink; Cen- 

 tury, rosy heliotrope, fine variety for a 

 standard; Abraham Lincoln, creamy 

 white shading to greenish yellow in the 

 center; Creole, dark purple, reverse of 

 petals silvery pink; George S. Conover, 

 yellow; Violet Rose, as its names implies; 

 Chipeta, "ripened oak-tree leaves," 

 /Cipangi, bronze; Ella May, yellow; Lillian 

 Russell, silvery pink; Mme. Camot, white.
