The Florists' Review 



Hamburg Late White 

 Chrysanthemum 



The examining 



committees of the Chrysanthemum Society of America scored Hamburg Late White as follows: 

 PHILADELPHIA, December 14 .... 88 points, commercial 



BOSTON, December 14 83 points, commercial 



NEW YORK, December 18 85 points, commercial 



This picture was taken December 10, 1916, and will give a good idea of what Hamburg Late 

 White looks like when grown to single stems, planted six inches each way. 



Hamburg Late White is pure white under all weather conditions, and is a sport of White 

 Maud Dean, but has no trace of pink as has the original. 



The average grower of Chrysanthemums must have varieties which are easy to handle, and 

 from which he can cut as near 100% of perfect blooms as possible. Hamburg Late White 

 has been grown for the last four years, and produces a very high proportion of good flowers. 

 It is not an exhibition variety, but for late white, one of the best for commercial purposes. It 

 can be had in bloom the latter part of November, by taking an early bud; but by selecting 

 later buds, most of the flowers are cut during December, and we would advise a selection of 

 late buds, as the later buds come somewhat fuller, and by selecting late buds, flowers can be 

 had as late as the middle of January. 



Keeping qualities are excellent, and where a light, graceful white flower is wanted, Hamburg 

 Late White cannot be surpassed. 



Hamburg Late White will be disseminated in the spring of 1917. Plants will be ready 

 April 1, 1917, and all orders will be filled in rotation.
