Special Low Offer, 15 Chrysanthemums for $1.00. 



For only SI. 00 we will send by mail 15 varieties of Chrysanthe- 

 mums, but the selection must be left to us at the time the order is 

 filled. We cannot supply a list beforehand, but as we sometimes have 

 a surplus of some new varieties we are enabled to include in these 

 low offers, some of the choicest sorts. If sent by express (buyer 

 to pay charges) we can usually send larger and stronger plants. 



SECOND EfllJLY COIiliECTIOfl. 



OCTOBER FLOWERING. 



Although all of the Chrysanthemums are early enough 

 to perfect their flowers in the open ground south of Balti- 

 more, yet in the vicinity of New York and further north 

 many of the late kinds sometimes do not ; hence we name 

 this Early Collection for the benefit, particularly, of resi- 

 dents of extreme Northern States.

 Bouquet Nationale. Pure white, tinted lemon. 

 Chas. Delmas. Brick red, with fiery shading.

New Early Yellow, " Marion Henderson. " 



A new seedling Chrysanthemum raised by ourselves. It has been 

 on trial for three years, and we have every confidence in offering it 

 as the best early yellow Chrysanthemum yet offered. The engrav- 

 ing, which is two-thirds natural size, shows the form, but cannot 

 show the rich, buttery yellow color of the flowers, which is superb. 

 It is full of petals to the centre and lasts a long time ; in fact, al- 

 though very early, it can yet be made late, because it remains per- 

 fect on the plant for such a length of time. We cut the first flowers 

 on October 10th, days before any other large yellow was ready, and 

 had perfect flowers to cut a month later. This grand variety will 

 be invaluable for early cut flowers, and we believe will occupy the 

 same position among early varieties that Golden Wedding does 

 among late ones. Price, 25c. each, $2.25 per doz. 



The " Ostrich Plume " Section. 



Mrs. Alpheus Hardy. Purest white and exceptionally large and 



well formed when properly grown. Thickly studded with a 



feathery growth. 

 Louis Boehmer. This is identical with the above variety, but its 



color is an exquisite shade of silvery pink, with deep rose on the 



inside of the petals. 

 Miss Annie Mauda. Pure white ; full flower. 

 Thomas 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. It has a pronounced sweet odor 



which is rare among Chrysanthemums. 

 Wm. Falconer. The flowers are of the largest size, and are borne 



on strong, vigorous stalks. 



15c. each ; set of 5 " Ostrich Plume " varieties for 60c. 



This collection, as its name implies, is made up of 

 such sorts as are generally grown for exhibition pur- 

 poses, and embraces nearly every shade of color and 

 variety of form known in the Chrysanthemum. We 



have remodeled this collection by the addition of some of the very 



best sorts extant, replacing some of the less attractive varieties, 



and have included in it our Newer Varieties of last year, offering 



them now at greatly reduced prices. This collection of Chrysanthe- 

 mums as now offered will be sure to give satisfaction to purchasers. 



Ada H. Le Roy. Deep rose-pink ; extra large flower. 



Advance. A beautiful shade of rosy pink. 



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. 



Autocrat. Deep yellow, of fine globular form, large flowers. 

 Early, and promises to be very valuable for cut flowers. 



Bride of Roses. An exquisite shade of rosy pink, of perfect form. 



Cashmere. Base of petals light crimson, upper part rich amber. 



Chas. Pratt. Porcelain pink, with maroon markings. 



Dawn, Delicate rosy blush ; flowers of the largest size. 



Dr. H. A. Mandeville. Large, full and double ; petals very long 

 and twisted ; bright chrome yellow.

Gettysburgh. This is a deep crimson variety ; outer petals broad 

 and drooping, and have a lustrous sheen in the sunlight. 



Golden Gate. Large, petals broad, canary yellow and orange. 



Good Gracious. The color is a delicate shade of peach pink. 

 The form is remarkable, the petals are incurved and twisted, 

 overlapping each other in irregular fashion, and resembling 

 talons. 



G. W. Childs. One of the best varieties of last year's introduc- 

 tions ; color, deep velvety crimson. Large fiat flower. 



Price, 15c. each ; set of 57 Exhibition sorts for $7.00.
