10 PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.—-WHOLESALE PLANT LIST. 
The Prize-Winning Chrysanthemums 
OF 18953. 
‘The following are varieties which we selected from 
among the prize winners of 1893, allof 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 flat, with nicely rounded tips; flat or slightly re- 
flexed, 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 flo ver 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.
