BARBARA D.VVIS. Kii'li sliade of reddish bronze .Tmi entirely 

 distinct from any other variety. Has proved a decided ac- 

 quisition eitlier as a cut flower or as a pot plant. In habit of 

 growth it is short-jointed and inclined to be dwarf, but makes 

 good stems from early propagation. The flower is reflexed 

 when fully open and is at its best just before maturing. 



C. H. TOTTir. Chestnut scarlet; flower large and growth strong. 



CHADWICK SUPREME. Color similar to Pacific Supreme: re- 

 flexed bloom. A sport of W. H. Chadwick. In bloom from 

 November 20th to December 1st. 



OOLDEN CHADWICK. When high-class blooms are the object, 

 this variety reigns supreme. Its rich yellow color, combined 

 with the good characteristics of the Chadwicks. places it as 

 one of the best late yellow varieties. 



GOI/DEX MISTLETOE. Sport of Mistletoe. The parent is our 

 latest flowering variety, coming well into December. It is 

 hall-shaped. An excellent companion for the parent. 



ITCDI.AN SCMMER. The groundwork is yellow, but into this are 

 blended terra-cotta and salmon shades, with a tinge of bronze. 

 The color of autumn foliage during Indian summer in a 

 measure describes the coloring. It is a sport of Golden Chad- 

 wick, 



WEHS' I,.\TE PINK. Clear, bright pink in color. 



W. H. CH.\DWICK. For the markets that want select stock, this 

 variety stands alone. Slightly pinkish when grown cool, it is 

 even more charming than when pure white. 



WILJJ.AM TURNER. Pure white bloom, incurved and ver.v large. 

 One of the finest of the large-flowered Chrysanthemums and a 

 general favorite. This variety is grown commercially and we 

 have a large stock prepared for the cut flower grower. 



YELLOW WILLIAM TURNER. The yellow sport sent out by 

 Smith is the variety we offer. It is an excellent variety and 

 will rank as one of the finest for exhibition use.
