NEW STBIPED CHBYSANTHEMUM, " UNCLE SAM." (>, natural S1Z6. 



flew griped (jypqtkmnni, 



"UNCLE SAH." 



The most unique variety as yet introduced and one that has 

 created a sensation wherever exhibited. The ground color is bril- 

 liant rose pink, each petal being regularly striped with pure white ; 

 the centre is chocolate colored with crimson shadings. The form 

 is as unique as the coloring, long pointed petals irregularly and 

 gracefully falling away from the centre, where they stand upright 

 in feathery gracefulness. The habit of the plant is strong and 

 rugged, strong stiff stems, medium tall, and filled with magnifi- 

 cent foliage. The illustration shows a flower less than one-half 

 natural size. Price, 50c. each, $1.50 per doz.

 "THOriAS JONES." 



A seedling from "Mrs. Alpheus Hardy," of fine globular form, 

 beautiful shade of rosy blush and thickly studded with a growth of 

 fine hairs. We secured the entire stock of this most valuable 

 variety, and can safely recommend it as being an advance on 

 existing sorts. It has a pronounced sweet odor which is rare 

 among Chrysanthemums. One of the finest of this most beautiful 

 class. Price, 40c. eaeh, $4.50 per doz.

Tie Piize-liii Gfipiieinns 



OF 1893. 



The following are varieties which we selected from 

 among the prize winners of 1893, all of which have been 

 tested by us, so that we can confidently offer them as 

 decided improvements : 



A. T. Ewing. Color, creamy white, heavily banded and 

 penciled in carmine pink ; petals very thick, broad and 

 fiat, with nicely rounded tips ; flat or slightly reflexed, 

 central petals upright, perfectly double, large and of 

 fine form; very free in growth and bloom. 



Amber Queen. Soft amber with deeper shadings ; of 

 exquisite form and very full ; petals reflexing till the 

 depth is wonderful, while the centre is still finely 

 rounded. Of fine, free habit, and of easy cultivation. 

 A Chinese reflexed variety of good size for the section. 



Anna Woods. Bright rosy magenta, the finest specimen 

 of this color that we have seen ; petals broad and thick, 

 outer rows quite horizontal, with incurving centre, 

 showing a silvery lining ; perfectly double, of fine size ; 

 another free grower ; stems stiff and strong. 



Creole (Inc. Jap.) Deep claret, reverse of petals bright 

 garnet ; large, bold flowers with broad but not coarse 

 petals. Will make a grand exhibition variety, either as 

 a specimen plant or for cut bloom, it being a very sturdy 

 grower, with fine foliage (early). Certificate of Merit, 

 New York Show. 



Falstaff. Clear, deep pink, base of petals rose 

 carmine ; very large and a fine bold incurved 

 flower. Dwarf, sturdy grower, with fine foliage 

 and stem. Extra good for cut flower or exhibi- 

 tion purposes (very early). 



Geo. R. Gause. The variety "Walter Coles has 



been greatly admired, both here and abroad, 

 for its unique color, a bright bronze, or terra 

 cotta; the present variety is almost identical 

 in color, while the size is immense, and is nearly 

 as great in depth as in diameter ; shows no eye ; 

 petals straight or slightly incurving; a half 

 globe in form ; strong in growth and free. 



Illuminator. Very deep, bright clear yellow ; large 

 full-round flower, with broad, straight petals ; 

 excellent keeper, and a very desirable variety, with good stem 

 and foliage. 



Jennie 'Williams. Creamy white with yellow shadings ; extremely 

 double ; petals upright and somewhat incurving ; outer petals 

 broader ; massive, and grand in build ; a splendid exhibition 

 variety ; good grower. 



Joey Hill. Of the very grandest size ; we know of nothing larger 

 in the entire family. Color, deep cardinal red of beautiful shade, 

 faced with old gold ; the outer petals are flat, showing the color 

 to good advantage ; the centre is an immense mass of closely 

 packed petals — no room for another one apparently. Very 

 strong in growth. An entire new departure in reds. 



J. H. Cliffe. A delicate shade of pink ; fine rounded form. This 

 variety carried off first prize for the twelve best blooms of pink 

 at Philadelphia, the specimens shown measuring nine and one- 

 half inches across. 



Judge Hoitt. The greatest break in seedlings of recent years ; 

 an anemone fully eight inches across; color, pale pearl pink; 

 the outer petals are broad and incurving, some three rows in 

 depth. These form a saucer, enclosing a broad disk of central 

 florets of wide open trumpet shape which rise and fill the 

 flower into rounded form from side to side. A nice free grower, 

 and of very easy management. 



Miss Lydia Hopkins. Flowers extremely large, perfectly double ; 

 whorled and incurving in form, broad petals, gradually becoming 

 erect ; color, white irregularly suffused with bright pink ; no 

 two flowers marked just alike. Very profuse in growth, perfect- 

 ing its blooms readily ; fine both for cut flowers and exhibition. 



Price, 35c. each, $3.50 per doz.
