27 



Anemone Flowered Chrysanthemums 



The Anemone flowers consist of one or more rows 

 of flat or tubular ray florets, with shorter quilled 

 or tubular disc florets of the same or distinct color; 

 are being grown in sprays for artistic floral ar- 

 rangements. 20 cents each; the three for 50 cents. 

 BESSIE FLIGHT — Bright rosy-pink; center full. 

 GARZA — Purest white with golden-yellow center; 



rays very broad. 

 YELLOW GARZA — Like Garza, except the entire 



flower is golden-yellow. 



Hardy Large Flowering "Mums" 



The majority of Chrysanthemums are hardy south 

 of the Ohio river and many are hardy in the north- 

 ernstates, as far as the plant is concerned, but they 

 must flower before early frosts to be of service. 

 The varieties offered below generally flower from 

 the last of August to the fifteenth of October. Price, 

 20 cents each; three for 50 cents; the set of seven 

 for .$1.00. 



AUTUMN GLOW — Fiery terra cotta or rosy- 

 crimson. 

 EXCELSIOR — Rich fine yellow. 



GLORY OF SEVEN OAKS (Carrie) — Deep golden- 

 yellow; a beauty. 

 INDIAN — A fine shade of Indian-red. 

 JACK FROST — Snow-white; very free flowering. 

 OLD LAVENDER — A beautiful shade of lavender. 

 SUNSHINE — Bronzy-yellow; large flower. 



Single Flowering Chrysanthemums 



20 cents each; the three for 50 cents.

extra. 

 GOLDEN MENSA — Golden-yellow, of exceptional 



merit. 



MENSA — One of the largest whites; produced freely 

 on long stems. 



Hardy Pompon Chrysanthemums 



These beautiful varieties are again very popular 

 for outdoor bedding purposes. They are quite hardy, 

 and with but a slight covering of leaves or coarse 

 stable litter during the winter will take care of 

 themselves after once planted, and produce an 

 abundant, almost lavish, profusion of bloom; and 

 the plants lend a coloration to the garden just at a 

 time when other plants have been destroyed by frost 

 and are looking their worst. Frost does not ma~- 

 terially affect the flowering, and it will frequently 

 happen that an armful of flowers can be cut after a 

 sharp frost. Price, 20 cents each; any three for 50 

 cents; the set of eight for .$1.25. 

 AUNT MARY — Old rose color. 

 AUTUMN QUEEN — Magnificent pink. 

 BABY — Deep golden-yellow; covers the plant. 

 DIANA — Snow-white; very free. 

 EUGENE LANGAULET — Golden-yellow. 

 LILLIAN DOTY — Flowers beautiful shell-pink. 

 RHODA — Rosy-lake or red. 

 WESTERN BEAUTY — Rosy-pink; extra. 



FLOWERING BEGONIAS

 during the dark days of -winter. Price, except where noted, 

 30 cents each; four priced at 30 cents for .$1.00. 



ALBA PICTA — Long, pointed, slender leaves, thickly spotted 

 silvery- white; foliage small, elegant; lovely pink flowers. 



ARGENTEA GUTTATA — Lovely green foliage, with spots 

 of silvery-white. 



CORALLINE LUCERNE, The Wonderful New Flowering Be- 

 gonia — This new Begonia has simply taken everybody 

 who has seen it by storm. There was not a single lady or 

 florist who visited our greenhouses the past spring that 

 did not purchase this Begonia, after they had seen it in 

 flower. It certainly is a wonder. The blooms last from a 

 month to six weeks, and are borne in immense clusters, 

 almost hiding the plant. The color is bright coral-red, 

 changing to a delicate pink. It is past the power of 

 -speech to describe it. A wonder. Fine plants, 50 cents. 



MRS. PATTEN (New Everhlooming Flowering Begonia) — 



This new Begonia is undoubtedly the freest blooming va- 

 riety known. It is of easy culture, low, bushy habit and 

 literally covered the entire year with a wealth of dark 

 pink flowers with yellow stamens. It well merits the 

 name of Everblooming Begonia. This variety is espe- 

 cially suited for florists, being of the Chattelaine type of 

 Begonia and one that can be handled by everyone. 35c. 



MARGUERITE — Leaves a bronzy-green, somewhat resem- 

 bling Metallica, but growing in more bushy form. Large 

 trusses of light rose-colored flowers freely produced. 



PICTA ROSEA — Bright, silvery-pink flowers. Extra fine. 



RUBRA — Has strong, slender branches, gracefully drooping 

 under heavy waxen leaves and pendent panicles of coral- 

 colored flowers as large as a hand. Medium-sized plants 

 are frequently seen with more than twenty such panicles 

 at a time. 40 cents.
