GOLDEN WEDDING, The Great Prize-winner. 
GOOD GRACIOUS, The Wonderful Pink Variety. 
GETTYSBURGH, The Brilliant Crimson Sort. 
jee grand varieties are the acme of perfection, combining wonderful size with remarkable vigor and splendid form. Eachstands 
supreme in its color. It is difficult to imagine anything more perfect than these, and never have such sterling sorts been 
offered so low upon their first introduction, Golden Wedding alone being worth the price charged for 
the entire collection. Vhis 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 unanimously pronounced it the finest yellow inexistence. At the exhibition in Madison 
Square Garden, New York, 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. 
Good Gracious is also a medal-winner, having 
obtained that honor in Philadelphia in the fall of 
1891. Gettysburgh, the grand crimson scarlet vari- 
ety, is fit torank with the above, not 
only on account of its size, but beeause 
of its brilliantcolor. For full detailed 
descriptions, see below. 
GOLDEN WEDDING. 
This is the grand goldenyellow variety shown in the Colored 
Plate. Nothing can exceed the richness of its color; it is un- 
rivaled in this respect. Itis a 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 pictur- 
esque irregularity, the centre of the flower 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 withthe public. Price, 40c. each, $4.50 per doz. (Ready March Ist.)
