MUMS AT BINLEY'S. 



A. J. Binley, Glens Falls, N. Y., has 

 just sent out a rather unique advertise- 

 ment in the shape of a Japanese ban- 

 ner. It was printed on yellow paper, 

 shaped like a banner, the upper end 

 pasted on a 3-inch piece of match stick 

 and the lower corners clipped a bit. 

 On one side were the so-called Japanese 

 characters and on the other the "trans- 

 lation." They are here reproduced in 

 one column for economy of space: 



^THE characters on 

 ^ the other side of 

 this paper are Japa- 

 nese and we have 

 taken a great deal of 

 pains to have the char- 

 acters printed and 

 translated into Eng- 

 lish. The first two 

 constitute the word 

 * ' Chrysan - themum , ' ' 

 the next two "Exhi- 

 bition," the next one 

 "at," the last four 

 VBinley'a." It there- 

 fore reads thus : 



" Chrysan th e m u m 

 Exhibition at B i n - 

 ley's." 



As we have enlarged 

 our plant the past sea- 

 son we would respect- 

 fully invite all lovers 

 of this Japanese Flower 

 to come and see our 

 display. We have 

 Giant Chrysanthe- 

 mums, 

 Baby Chrysanthe- 

 mums, 

 Single Chrysanthe- 

 mums, 

 Double Chrysanthe- 

 mums, 

 Incurv-ed, Crimped, 

 Fluted and all other 

 kinds, together with a 

 nice stock of those 

 beautiful Lace Ferns, 

 Palms, Araucarias, 

 Rubber Plants, etc. , 

 and we shall be pleased 

 to see you during the 

 week commencing No- 

 vember 1st.

YELLOW TOUSET. 



I noticed in The Eeview for October 

 27 that a subscriber wants to know if 

 there has ever been a true yellow sport 

 of Mme. C. Touset introduced into the 

 trade. A true yellow sport of this va- 

 riety originated at our North Side 

 Greenhouses, at Columbus City, Ind., in 

 1909. We now have thirty plants and 

 by next year hope to have a good 

 stock of this variety worked up. It is 

 one of the finest yellows we ever have 

 had and is a good seller and has the 

 other good qualities of its parent stock. 



D. C. Noble. 



J. A. Budlong, Chicago, has a yellow 

 sport of Touset, which has been this 

 season one of the best selling cut 

 blooms for this firm. The flower at 

 certain stages of development has the 

 same pinkish tinge in the center that 

 is characteristic of Touset, but in other 

 stages is clear yellow. 



STOCK BECOMES MIXED. 



I have had a peculiar experience this 

 fall and should like to get your opinion 

 on the matter. I have been growing 

 Golden Glow chrysanthemums for two 

 years previous to this and they have 

 come all right in color. I have also had, 

 perhaps, twenty-five plants of Pink 

 Pacific. I was careful to keep all the 

 clumps separate and labeled in the tak- 

 ing of cuttings. I also labeled them 

 all in the cutting bench and in trans- 

 planting them to the flats of soil. I 

 only wanted a few pinks and all the rest 

 yellow, but now, as they begin to show 

 color, they are all coming pink and 

 white. I planted them on a solid bench 

 June 15, and took the first bud August 

 23. Now, what is the reason for thisT 

 Are they a sport which reverts back, and 

 will I have to get new clumps to start 

 anew ngain next spring! C. E. Y. 



There seems to be no question what- 

 ever but that C. E. Y.'s stock has be- 

 come mixed. My reason for thinking 

 that he must have made a mistake, is 

 because yellows do not sport to pink and 

 white. Yellow is supposed to be the 

 original color of the chrysanthemum, 

 and when a chrysanthemum sports, as it 

 often does, it will run from pink to 

 white and from white to yellow in an 

 endeavor to get back to the primary 

 color, but I do not at this moment re- 

 call any instance where a yellow has 

 sported any other color. 



The foliage of Golden Glow and Pink 

 Pacific is entirely distinct and C. E. Y. 

 should be easily able to.see which varie- 

 ties the plants resemble. 



It would be an easy matter for the 

 Pink Pacific to be sporting white this 

 year, as it has done so on many occa- 

 sions, Polly Eose and several others 

 having come from Pacific as the par-
