GOLDEN WEDDING. 
(4 NATURAL SIZE.) 
This is undoubtedly the grandest golden yellow variety ever 
introduced and is the marvel of the period. Nothing can exceed 
the richness of its color; it is unrivalled in thisrespect. Itisa 
remarkably 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 downward in picturesque irregularity, the center 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 thisreason alone, it will, no doubt, 
supersede all other yellow varieties with the public. This grand 
variety has been awarded the highest honors wherever exhibited. 
When first shown in Philadelphia, in the fall of 1891, it was given 
a silver medal; exhibited there the past season the judges unani- 
mously pronounced it the finest yellow in existence. At the exhi- 
bition in Madison Square Garden, New York, 1892, it was awarded 
the Silver Cup offered by ‘‘ Garden and Forest” for the best vase 
of six flowers. It was awarded the Silver Cup offered by Mrs. 
W. Bayard Cutting, for the best vase of fifty flowers, and it won 
First Prize in the special competition for the best vase of yellow. 
This is certainly a most wonderful record. At the exhibitions 
last fall it was conceded to be the finest yellow variety shown, 
and it will undoubtedly retain that position for years to come. 
Price, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz., $8.00 per 100.

Has fully sustained the high reputation it 
achieved at the exhibitions last year, as will be 
seen by the clippings which we reprint herewith 
from the ‘ Florists’ Exchange.”

i) om 
NEW YORK. 
In yellows Peter Henderson & Co. were first 
with Golden Wedding. 
FHILADELPHIA. 
The biggest bloom in all the show was un- 
doubtedly a specimen of Golden Wedding, grown 
by Ferdinand Heck, of Reading Park; it was 
perfect in form and foliage. 
BALTIMORE. 
Golden Wedding in yellow, Vivian Morel in pink, 
and the Queen in white, gave all the size wished, 
and these varieties were shown to perfection here, 
—ten inches without stretching them—with stems 
that held the flowers as erect as if a wire had 
been grown in the stem. 
WORLD'S FAIR FLOWER 
SHOW. 
In reporting the ‘‘ Flowers that show up,” 
Golden Wedding was given a prominent place. 
EUROPE. 
Golden Wedding, exhibited by J. W. Godfrey, 
Exmouth, G. B., was awarded the first-class Cer- 
tificate of the National Chrysanthemum Society, 
being one out of four awarded against scores of 
competing varieties. It was also certificated by 
the Royal Horticultural Society. [This informa- 
tion was sent to us by the gentleman who exhib- 
ited.—P. H. & Co.]
