college we have about 130 varieties, but I 

 shall mention only a few of the most desir- 

 able ones, including the various shades of 

 the different types. 



Maud Dean. This is a variety which can 

 hardly be commended too highly. The 

 flowers are large, a beautiful shade of lilac 

 pink, and of great substance. The plant 

 has stiff, long stems, is short jointed and of 

 healthy compact habit. 



W. H. Lincoln. The habit of this variety, 

 like the one just mentioned, is nearly all that 

 could be desired. The flower is large, and 

 probably one. of the best of the bright golden 

 yellows. 



Joey Hill. Flowers very large, florets 

 broad and reflexed, cardinal red above and 

 old gold beneath. The plant is healthy and 

 free flowering, but rather tall. 



Rohallion. An excellent pale yellow. 



The flowers are medium size, the florets 

 semi-quilled and curled. Plant healthy, 

 vigorolis and a profuse bloomer. 



President W. R. Smith. A rather tall 

 growing variety for window culture, but one 

 of the best to grow as a standard. Flowers 

 large, late, incurved, and of a very pleasing 

 shade of light pink. 



Lilian B. Bird. This is also a rather tall 

 grower, but the bloom is very striking, be- 

 ing made up of long straight quilled florets, 

 of a soft shade of light pink. One of the 

 latest to bloom. 



lora. An exceedingly artistic flower of 

 light pink color. It is also a quilled variety, 

 but unlike the one last named, the florets are 

 curled and twisted. 1 he plant is moderate- 

 ly short jointed, vigorous and very free 

 flowering.
