NeW Early Yellow 7 . 



"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 engraving 

 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 center and lasts a long time; in fact, although 

 very early, it can yet be made late, because it remains perfect on the 

 ?i a u i or s I lch a len S th of tim «- 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, 

 $6.00 per 100. See opinion in adjoining column concernine this 

 variety. &

The Queen. This grand variety has shown itself, after another year's 

 trial, to be one of the very finest whites. The flower excels all in 

 pure whiteness, is extra large, broad and deep; the petals are heavy 

 and thick; a good keeper; leaves broad and thick, stem strong 

 holding flowers firmly erect. 



Thomas Emerson. A grand variety, with short, stout stem and 

 very large leaves. Flower large, loosely incurved, of a beautiful 

 deep orange red color. 



Wm. Seward. A grand, large, deep rich blackish crimson, florets 

 exceedingly long and of firm texture; early flowering, being at best 

 end of October. Awarded first-class certificate. 

 Price, for any of the New Chrysanthemums on this and pre- 



ceeding page, $1 .00 per doz.; $6.00 per 100.

Extract from FLORISTS' EXCHANGE. 



"Here we saw probably the finest batch of Marion. 

 Henderson around New York or anywhere else, 

 and here this variety is all and more than is claimed 

 for it. On October 5th the whole house was forming 

 into a mass of bright yellow. Its quality and its 

 earliness mean dollars and cents, and he was most 

 enthusiastic over the beauty and good quality of 

 Marion Henderson." 



NeW " Ostrich Plunge " 

 Collection. 



Below we offer a grand new collection of these 

 unique Chrysanthemums. The term "Ostrich 

 Plume" we originated as applied to this type, so a& 

 to call attention to the feathery growth with which 

 the petals are thickly covered. 



Eiderdown. Large, perfectly double, incurved, 

 snow-white, late Japanese variety, covered with 

 glandular hairs, as in Mrs. Hardy; style of Kioto; 

 habit perfect, stems stiff and erect. 

 Hon. Thos. Lowry. Habit short, with stont stem 

 and fine dark green foliage; flower of medium 

 size, incurved, the color a curious and indescrib- 

 able mixture of yellow, red and rose. 

 King of Ostrich Plumes. Deep chrome-yellow, shaded buff and 

 orange, large and double, perfectly incurving; long, broad petals. 

 covered with glandular hairs. 

 L'Enfant des Deux Mondes (" Child of Two Worlds"). Magnifi- 

 cent white sport from L. Boehmer, partaking of all its good quali- 

 ties: purest snow-white, strong stem; habit perfect. 

 Miss Katherine Richards Gordon. Habit very short, stem stout, 

 with extra good foliage; flower of medium size, incurved, hairy, of 

 good substance; color soft white, shaded pink towards the center. 

 An excellent variety and very early.

 large, incurved, rather full, of a fine pink, shading to yellow 

 towards the center; petals very hairy. 

 Robert M. Grey. Foliage and stem good; flower large, loosely built, 

 of a terra cotta color; petals covered with a very dense capillary 

 outgrowth, which gives the flower a unique appearance. One of 

 the most distinct in its class.
