NOVELTY for 1895. 
Magnificent Yew American Chrysanthemum, 
“PHILADELPHIA” 
This Peerless Treasure is absolufely without a rival. £ fas created the Greatest Sensation and . 
reeeived fhe Highest Awards wherever Shown. 
KR. H. GRAHAM, of Philadelphia, one of the most distinguished and enthusiastic Florists in the United States, the 
raiser of this superb Incurvep Japanese, despatched by special messenger six blooms which unfortunately only reached 
_us on the evening of the second day of the great exhibition at the Royal Aquarium, November 7th, 1894. We had 
them immediately staged and brought under the notice of the Chairman and Committee of the National Chrysanthemum 
Society, and they unanimously awarded a SILVER-GILT MEDAL. These blooms having been cut and packed for ten 
days, prove it to be one of the most lasting flowers yet raised—invaluable both to Exhibitors and Growers for Market on 
account of the enormous size of its flowers. 
The flowers were of the finest globular form, six inches in diameter, and of the most delicate creamy white, the tips tinged 
with sulphur-yellow. The petals are purely incurved, with slight inflections to the right and left, as in the Japanese. 
IT HAS REGEIVED MORE HIGHEST AWARDS THAN ANY OTHER SEEDLING THE FIRST YEAR OF EXHIBITING. 
We are pleased to state the ENTIRE DISTRIBUTION in EURUPE of this Sterling Novelty has been placed in our hands. 
Plants will be sent out simultancously by Mir. Graham for America and by ud in Yondon, 
the probable date of distribution being Mfarch lst, 1895. 
PRICE OF PLANTS, 7s. 6d. EACH. 
Your Orders should be given early to ensure the Plants being sent out at that date.
