 verse chrome yellow.

 shadings. The form is a somewhat flat, incurved shape, the 

 outer petals horizontal, showing the bright pink, the incurv- 

 ing center showing a lighter shade.

 mense size. Has won gold medal and over fifty iirst prizes. 



Clinton Chalfant.— A magniticent golden yellow, upright, 

 Dahlia-like petals, forming a finely rounded flower.

 shadings at their best. In color it is a deep, clear pink.

 quite double. The color is a soft lemon, suffused with pink.

 and brightest yellow, a solid golden ball. A grand variety.

 One of the finest, and no collection is complete without it. It 

 is indeed gorgeous in its color and bearing. 



Harry E. Wldener.— A very fine yellow. Those desiring 

 line pot flowers should plant this variety extensively. It had 

 no rival until Mrs. Craig Lippincott and E. Dailledouze came 

 upon the scene. It is still a prize winner at all the shows. 



Helen Bloodgood.— A pure, clear pink, without a trace of 

 purple or migenta. globe form. A grand flower.

 riety is in every prize winning collection. None better.

 variety, it is ahead of anything yet produced. Flowers aver- 

 age six inches m diameter, and when grown to a single stem, 

 ten inches. Pure white.

 tra fine. Good for cut bloom. Does well as large specimens. 



L. Canning.— One of the most highly prized among whites. 

 It should be in every collection.

 largest size, long, tubular petals, of perfect form, producing 

 flowers which are twelve inches in diameter. The color is an 

 exquisite shade of "shrimp pink," the flower when fully open 

 being an immense half globe. A magnificent variety. 



Miss Gladys Spaulding.— One of the very best whites ever 

 produced. A large, round, exceedingly well built flower. 



Marguerite Jeffords.— A fine flower of bright amber or 

 chestnut color— a most rich and pleasing shade. One of the 

 finest Chrysanthemums extant. Very lasting. Should be m 

 every collection for exhibition. 



Miss M. E. McCowet.— In this I have the loveliest of Chrys- 

 anthemums. The flowers are very numerous, always perfect 

 in form and full to the center. Color the softest white, with a 

 deep flush of pink through the outer half of the flower curv- 

 ing over the center, sometimes tipping the inner petals. 



Marvel.— Mrs. President Harrison's special admiration at the 

 Indianapolis show. Very large, flat flower of regular rosette 

 shape, the ground color is pure waxen white, and on this is a 

 large, irregular blotch of wine color. No twoflowerssimilarly 

 marked. The flowers will sometimes come a solid wine color. 

 The contrast in color is very beautiful.
