TWO NEW MUMS I I !^^^'»*""*'^''°*»i'f!*'""^^ 



I FOR THE BACK ROW | 



1 Artista. — This we believe is the largest Exhibition variety | 



1 we have ever raised and doubt if it will be surpassed by i 



1 any now grown, not excepting Wni. Turner, Odessa, etc. j 



1 Outer petals grooved or channeled, reflex, while the cen- j 



1 ter ones incurve irregularly, giving a very artistic ap- | 



1 i)earance to the bloom. Dwarf habit, will not attain | 



1 over 5 ft. from February propagation. White with a | 



i slightly creamy tint in the depths. Best bud August I 



1 20th, maturing the last days of October. All exhibition | 



1 growers are bounil to accept this as one of the best. | 



I Ogontz. — A seedling from Nakota which it greatly resem- | 



1 hies in foliage, and has the same whirling arrangement i 



1 of petals, with size equal to its parent. The petals are | 



i decidedly grooved or channeled. Color, light primrose, | 



1 height 6 ft. Would not advise a bud earlier than | 



1 August 30lh as the blooms are double from those se- | 



i lected in September. Practically the same as Nakota ex- | 



I cept color, maturing first week of November. May also | 



1 be advantageously grown as a commercial maturing No- j 



1 vember 20th from buds taken September 20th and after, i 



i Price.— $1.50 each; $12..';0 per ten; SIOO.OO per hundred. | 



i Delivery on or before February 1st, 1916. Not less than | 



I i»» 5 plants of a variety at ten and 25 at hundred rate. t 



I ARE BOOKING ORDERS NOW |

1 deners revised to date. If you do not receive our catalogue j
