Bride, Hon. John Welsh, Jessica, Mrs. Frank Thomson, 

 and others. 



As another successful raiser of chrysanthemums, the name 

 of Mr. T. H. Spaulding, of Orange, N. J., will long hold an 

 important place among the chrysanthemum growers in 

 America. This gentleman sent out his first seedling in 1886, 

 and each year since then many excellent varieties of his pro- 

 duction have been placed upon the market. In 1888 he sent 

 out Geo. McClure, Mrs. John Pettit, Cloth of Gold, Eleanor 

 Oakley, E. S. Renwick, Gladys Spaulding, Juno, R. E. Jen- 

 nings and others. In 1889, George Atkinson, Commotion, 

 Tusaka, Takaki, Mrs. Judge Benedict, We Wa, Brynwood, 

 and many others were produced and disseminated by Mr. 

 Spaulding, and during the present year the new English prize 

 chrysanthemum, Mrs. S. Coleman, and his own seedling, Ada 

 Spaulding, are being distributed. The latter was awarded the 

 National prize in November, 1889, presented by Mrs. President 

 Harrison, at Indianapolis ; also a certificate of merit by the 

 Pennsylvania Horticultural Society ; first premium by the New 

 Jersey Horticultural Society, and medal of excellence by the 

 American Institute, N. Y. It is a cross between Puritan and 

 Mrs. Wanamaker ; of robust habit ; a rich deep pink, shading in 

 upper portion to the purest pearl white ; globular in shape and 

 neither Japanese nor Chinese in form. Mr. Spaulding is also 

 introducing this year the following varieties of his own grow- 

 ing : Addie Decker, Maria Ward, Garnet, Mrs. Thomas A. 

 Edison, Jas. R. Pitcher, Cyclone, Zenobie, and others. 



The following varieties, the first five imported from Japan 

 by Mr. John Thorpe, and the others grown by him, were also 

 first distributed by Mr. Spaulding : G. F. Moseman, Mrs. T. 

 H. Spaulding, Sokoto, Leopard, Mrs. J. N. Gerard ; Pauline, 

 Coronet, Dango Zaka, G. P. Rawson and Peculiarity, together 

 with Miss Sue Waldron and Snowdrift, grown by Mr. J. N. 

 Gerard, of Elizabeth, N. J., and Sunset, Mrs. Wm. Barr, MI.<JS
