Golden Wedding. 



This is the grand golden yellow variety alluded to 

 above. Nothing can exceed the richness of its color; it is un- 

 rivaled in this respect. It is a remarkably vigorous grower and has 

 such strength of stem that it carries its great globular flowers erect, giv- 

 ing it a bold majestic appearance. The form of Golden Wedding is unique; the 

 outer petals droop downward in picturesque irregularity, the centre of the flower is built 

 high, with broad petals irregularly overlaid so that although the flowers are so large they are not 

 heavy, solid-looking like many others. For this reason alone, it will, no doubt, supersede all other 

 yellow varieties with the public. The judges at the Chrysanthemum show, in Philadelphia, pronounced it the 

 best yellow in commerce and this opinion has been endorsed by everyone who saw it. Price, large plants from j-inch pots, 6oc. 

 each. Small plants from 2-inch pots, 40c. each, $4.50 per dozen. 



GETTYSBURGH. 



This originated as a "sport" from "Omar" in our 

 grounds, and has been on trial for two years. The color is a 

 deep crimson with a velvety sheen in the sunlight. The 

 outer petals are broad and drooping. The form is flat with 

 drooping outer petals, which gives it a very graceful appear- 

 ance. This is the popular form, and combined with the 

 splendid color, stamps Getlysbnrgh as a Chrysanthemum of 

 rare merit. Price, large plants from 5-inch pots, 60c. each; 

 small plants from 2-inch pots, 40c. each, §4.00 per dozen. 



GOOD GRACIOUS. 



The color is unique, being a delicate shade of peach pink 

 throughout. The form is remarkable, the petals are incurved 

 and twisted, overlapping each other in irregular fashion, and 

 resembling talons. Of all the splendid varieties introduced 

 from Japan this is perhaps the most remarkable for size, form 

 and color, there being nothing at all approaching it. Price, 

 large plants from 5-inch pots, 60c. each, small plants from 

 2-inch pots, 40c. each, $4.00 per dozen. 



SPECIAL OFFER, — As an inducement to our customers to procure these grand varieties, we combine the three in 

 one collectioi for the low price of f 1.50 for three plants, large size, and $1.00 for small size.
