CHRYSANTHENUNS 



The List of Chrysanthemums we are offering for the season of 1919 

 shows many changes from last season and these are, we believe, a tjreat 

 benefit to us and no injury to our trade. We have discarded many varie- 

 ties and have kept only such as have shown themselves really needed to 

 maintain a balance of color and season. This selection has eliminated 

 many for which we may have calls during the planting season, but in the 



RICHMOND. The phrase, "An early Bonnaffon," describes this 

 variety. A bright golden yellow that has every promise of making 

 a name for Itself. Perfect In form and perfect In color. 



WHITTEEB. Bright, golden yellow in color, coming Into bloom 

 Just after Richmond and Just before Bonnaflon. It is an incurved 

 flower of the BonnafTon type. It is a promising variety and worthy 

 of cultivation by those who seek to grow better Chrysanthemums. 



YELLOW CHABLE8 RAGEB. A sport which originated with us. 

 Light yellow, but a strong, healthy grower. The flowers are well- 

 formed and, like its parent, it is an easy variety to grow. 



"VOLUNTBEB" , 



A golden Anemone that will be a welcome addition to your Thanks- 

 giving Day crop. 



The following exhibition varieties are produced on a more or less 

 extensive scale by commercial growers. These we offer as rooted 

 cuttings In addition to pot plants:

BABBABA DAVIS. In color, a rich shade of reddish bronze and 

 entirely distinct from any other variety. It was disseminated by 

 us in 1917 and has proved a decided acquisition either 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 

 maturisMT.

 bronze-yellow. Flowers very large and full, appearing the latter

The Market. 



Business is holding up welU. The sup- 

 ply is slightly increased, but prices are 

 firm. Boses are more plentiful, mostly 

 the longer grades, the shorter grades 

 cleaning up well. Carnations are not so 

 plentiful and clean up daily. Sweet 

 peas are arriving in good supply and 

 hold up well in price. Easter and dalla 

 lilies clean up well. Violets are moving 

 slowly. Short-stenuned American Beau- 

 ties are arriving in quantity, the longer 

 grades still being scarce. There is little 

 valley in the market, the same being the 



case with orchids. Good bulbous stock 

 is offered, consisting mostly of daffodils, 

 tulips, hyacinths and Paper White nar- 

 cissi. Other offerings are wallflowers, 

 forget-me-nots, baby primroses, mar- 

 guerites and schizanthus. Greens are 

 scarce.
