Golden Wedding. 



(}4 NATURAL SIZE.) 



This is undoubtedly the grandest golden yellow variety ever in- 

 troduced and is the marvel of the period. Nothing can exceed the 

 richness of its color ; it is unrivaled in this respect. Itisaremark- 

 ably vigorous grower and has such strength of stem that it carries 

 its great globular flowers erect, giving it a bold majestic appearance. 

 The form of Golden Wedding is unique ; the outer petals droop down- 

 ward in picturesque irregularity ; the centre of the flowers 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. This grand variety has been 

 awarded the highest honors wherever exhibited. 20c. each, $2.00 doz. 



Mrs. C. H. Wheeler. Old gold and crimson ; decidedly Japanese. 



Niveus. A grand snow-white variety. Centre irregularly incurv- 

 ing, with outer petals reflexing nearly to the stem. Constitution 

 robust, foliage large and abundant, while the keeping qualities 

 of the flowers are unsurpassed. 



Pres. Wm. R. Smith. Color of Daybreak Carnation, a pure self 

 pink ; very heavy in substance, on stiff stems ; the form of the 

 flower is very beautiful in all its stages ; it opens with a centre 

 incurving in a circle enclosed in broad outer petals; perfectly 

 double ; a splendid keeper ; especially fine for cut flowers. 



Roslyn. A superb, clear, " Mermet " Rose pink ; petals thick and 

 heavy, cup-shaped, solid to the centre, immense in size, having 

 been exhibited eleven inches across ; habit the best, stems stiff 

 and erect, foliage luxuriant ; the best pink in commerce.
