Some New Chrysanthemums 



Tarryto\\-i). 



Elmer D. Smith sends us the photo- 

 graphs with accompanying descrip- 

 tions of several of his exhibition novel- 

 ties, as follows: 



Poughkeepsie. — Japanese Incurved, 

 creamy white, strong grower, 8 feet, 

 best from bud taken August 10 to 20. 

 As large as Merza but not so closely 

 incurved, SVo inches in diameter. 

 First-class certificate. 



Glen Cove. — Japanese, outer petals 

 broad and reflexing, color lavender 

 pink of a very pleasing shade. Growth 

 short-jointed resembling that of Mrs. 

 Coombes. 5 feet. Owing to the shoit 

 neck this variety may prove very de- 

 sirable with the commercial growers. 

 Blooms 81/2 inches. Best bud August 

 10 to 20. 



Morristown. — Might be briefly de- 

 scribed as a beautiful rose-colored 

 Mrs. D. V. Best. It has the same 

 long reflexing outer petals while the 



Poughkeepsie. 

 center ones incurve. The color is so 

 clear and pleasing that we feel safe 





Glen Cove, 

 in stating it outrivals any of the ex- 

 hibition pinks. It is of the largest 

 size, being 9 inches in diameter. Il 



Morristown. 



resembles Ben Wells in growth. 6 feet. 

 Early buds imperative. August 1st to 

 10th we consider best date. 



Tarrytown. — A beautiful light plnfc 

 with a slight tinge of salmon, Th« 

 color is not only clearer, but more 

 pleasing than that seen in W. A. 

 Etherington but the blooms with u» 

 are larger. Buds saved August IBth; 

 to 25th are most satisfactory. 8 inches 

 in diameter. Growth dwarf. 



Thanksgiving Queen. — In form an 

 improved and magnified Silver Wed- 

 ding, being larger and more double. 

 Color creamy white and maturing No- 

 vember 20th just right for Thanksgiv- 

 ing use. Only four feet high from 

 larly June planting, foliage medium 

 in size. Stems so strong as to scarcely 

 require tying. Blooms 9 inches In 

 diameter. Best bud, September 1 to 

 10. G. S. A. Certificate. 



Roman Gold. — This is another of El- 

 mer D. Smith's novelties. It is a fine 

 yellow incurved and scored 87 and 88 

 points, commercial scale, at Chicago 

 and Cincinnati, respectively.
