" Gold Medal " Chrysanthemums, Continued, 



Mrs. C. H. Wheeler.— Very large and per- 

 fectly formed flowers. Jt should be in 

 every collection. A perfect incurve, out- 

 side of petals a bright orange, lined on con- 

 cave side with brilliant red. One of the 

 very largest. 



Mrs. John Wanamaker.-A superb va- 

 riety of perfect incurved lorm. resembling 

 aflat ball of wool. Color pink and white, 

 nicely blended. 



Maude Dean.— An immense pink variety, 

 finely incurved, petals broadly bell shaped. 

 One of the largest flowers exhibited at the 

 Fall shows. Almost a pure self pink. 



Mrs. J. Lewis Chllds.— The enormous 

 flowers are as round as a ball, and pro- 

 duced in abundance on long stems. The 

 pure snowy white color develops a tinge of 

 pink so exquisitely faint that one almost 

 looks for the. color in the light and not 

 the flower. Used for decoration in the 

 evening, this feature has been much ad- 

 mired. 



Mrs. Wlnthrop Sargeant.— A brilliant 

 stiaw color, incurved, carrying its flowers 

 on long, stiff stems. Very large, if not the 

 largest in this line of color. A large, grand 

 flower. 



Mrs. Langtry.— A perfectly formed, flat 

 flower, of unusual size and perfection. 

 Snowy white in color, with broad bands or 

 ribbon petals. Altogether one of the very finest varieties. 



Mrs. E. G. Hill.— The blooms are eight to teninchesin diameter; the 

 color is a delicate lavender pink. Petals incurved. The display of this 

 variety at the World's Fair attracted all passersby, and was admired 

 greatly. It was the winner of twelve first prizes and gold medal. 



Mrs. Cleveland. — A pure white variety, with long, tubular petals, flow- 

 irs very large, like President Cleveland. It will be a general favorite. 



Mikado. — Exquisitely fringed flowers of Crimson and gold, curved and 

 plated, of irregular form. It is gorgeous beyond description. Will be 

 the center of attraction wherever placed. 



Mrs. A. Carnegie.— A bright, deep crimson, reverse of petals a shade 

 lighter, broad, long and flat, of leathery texture, incurving on first open- 

 ing, afterwards assuming the form of a large Paaony, strong, erect, with 

 heavy foot stalks. 



Mrs. Anthony Watterer.— This is an immense 

 spreading flower, which has been produced eleven 

 inches across, the individual petals being one and 

 a quarter inches across, at first very pale blush on 

 the outside, which tint it loses as it matures. 

 When fully expanded it has the appearance of a 

 bunch of white ribbon. Invaluable lor cutting. 



Marie Louise.— Beautiful, incurved white, with 

 interlacing petals, outer ones reflexed closely 

 around the stem, inner ones building up full to the 

 center, forming a plumy globe. 



Mrs. J. G. Whildln.— A handsome yellow variety, 

 of pure tint, splendid in size and form, and a mag- 

 nificent addition to the scarce, very early, large- 

 flowering varieties. Has attained great popularity. 



Mrs. Li. C. Maderla. — A perfect, compact globe of bright or- 

 ange color, petals upright, like unopened, pointed quills, con- 

 stitution strong, stems stiff, flowers large and of the heaviest 

 substance. 



Mrs. A. J. Drexel.— A very early, large-flowering variety, 

 half spherical in form, petals long and arranged like rays, the 

 color is a fine example of crimson lake, quite double and a 

 fine grower. 



Mrs. Jerome Jones.— Large cream white, incurved Japan- 

 ese, sometimes showing a tinge of pink. High, round flower. 

 One of the best Chrysanthemum flowers up to date. Indis- 

 pensable for exhibition, Grand stem and foliage. 



Mrs. W. K. Vanderbllt.— One of the finest in the entire 

 Chrysanthemum family. A grand, large flower of the purest 

 white. Seen in splendid shape at the Fall shows. 



Mermaid. — Very delicate pink, perfectly incurving broad pet- 

 als, extremely delicate in color and finish; extra good. 



Pitcher &. Manda.— Who ever heard of Chrysanthemums 

 having two distinct colors in one flower? But that is just 

 what Pitcher & Manda is. The outer five or six rows of petals 

 are pure white, and of Dahlia-like form, while the center is a 

 bright, deep yellow, the two colors being sharply defined. 

 Won gold medal. 



President William R. Smith.— An immense cupped flow- 



er. Outside petals salmon red, center a deep Indian red. 

 Enormous, free and distinct. Invaluable as a show bloom. 



Robert Mclnnes. — The color is bright scarlet and gold, while 

 it is full to the last degree, a perfect globe in form. It is quite 

 early, being in full perfection the last week in October, and 

 can be had earlier. Very brilliant in appearance, as well as 

 grand in size and form. One of the very grand est of last year's 

 introductions. A sensational variety. Fine at all the shows. 



Sugar Loaf. — Everybody s Chrysanthemum, being a fine 

 grower, and perfecting numerous extra large flowers of bright 

 yellow or bronze yellow, inner petals incurving, outer petals 

 reflexed. 



The Q,ueen.— A grand double white, of fine size and great 

 substance, very rounded in form, incurving and full. Proba- 

 bly the most valuable novelty of 1S95. By far the best of its 

 style, and a prize winner wherever shown. This year has 

 given me two of my grandest whiles, Queen and Niveus, and 

 nearly equal in merit and tolally distinct. 



W. H. Lincoln.— A rich, golden yellow, of finest form and 

 shape. Splendid for cut flowers, and a magnificent bush 

 plant. A No. 1 for all purposes. 



Wenonah. — (Blushing Bride.) The base of the petals is pure 

 white, laced with deep lavender pink. This is a variety that 

 is much admired, and I have grown a great quantity of them 

 for this year's sales. Very beautiful.
