WM. ELLIOTT & SONS’ PLANT DEPARTMENT, 1894. 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
These are second only to the Rose in importance. 
The wonderful improvement made in them the past few years shows the 
grand possibilities of the floriculturist’s art when directed to a special object. 
The great influx of new varieties each season renders 
selection difficult, but we believe that the collection offered by us contains the cream of the varieties known at the present time. 
Henderson’s 
Grand Prize Winnner 
GOLDEN WEDDING The Finest Yellow 
Ever Introduced. 
When this superb variety was 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 in existenee. 
York, it was awarded the Silver Cup offered by ‘‘Garden and Forest’’ for the best vase of six tlowers. 
At the exhibition in Madison Square Garden, New 
It was awarded the 
Silver Cup offered by Mrs. W. Bayard Cutting for the best vase of fifty flowers; it won First Prize in the special competition for 
the best vase of yellow, and was awarded a Special Certificate for great merit at Cincinnati. This iscertainly a most wonderful record. 
Nothing can exceed the richness of its color; it is unrivaled in this respect. It is 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 picturesque 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. 
alone, it will, no doubt, supersede all other yellow varieties with the public. 
GETTYSBURGH. 
This is a deep crimson variety and excels in its color as Gol- 
den Wedding doesin yellow. It originatedasa “sport” from 
*“Omar,”’ and has been on trial for two years. The outer petals 
are broad and drooping, and have a lustrous sheen in the sunlight. 
The form is flat with drooping outer petals, which gives it a very 
graceful appearance. Thisis the popular form, and, combined 
with the splendid color, stamps Gettysburgh asa Chrysanthemum 
of rare merit. Price, 25c. each, $2.25 per doz.

GOOD GRACIOUS. 
Another introduction from Japan, and so remarkable for size 
as to suggest its name; the first sight of it usually brings forth 
an exclamation of admiration. The color also is unique, being a 
delicate shade of peach pink thoroughout. The form is remark- 
able, the petals are incurved and twisted, overlapping each other 
in irregular fashion, and resembling talons. Of all the splendid 
varieties introduced from Japan this is perhaps the most remark- 
able for size, form and color, and stands alone in its unique 
beauty, there being nothing at all approaching it. Price, 25c. 
each, $2.25 per doz, 
The “Ostrich Plume” Section. 
Mrs. Alpheus Hardy. Purest white and exception- 
ally large and well formed when properly grown. 
The blooms of this variety which took first prize at 
Madison Square Garden, New York, were a revela- 
tion. 
Louis Boehmer. This is identical in its strange and 
beautiful formation with the above variety, but its 
color is an exquisite shade of silvery pink, with deep 
rose on the inside of the petals; it is of vigorous 
constitution, being one of the strongest growing 
varieties we have, so that it is certain to produce 
perfect flowers under the most ordinary cultivation. 
Patrick Barry. A pure yellow ‘Ostrich Plume” 
variety and fit to rank with the others in this section. 
Miss Annie Manda, Pure white, strong, short-joint- 
ed stems and good foliage, full double flowers. A 
very attractive variety. 
Wm. Falconer. This grand variety is a ‘‘sport”’ 
from “Louis Boehmer,” and it partakes of all the 
good qualties found in that excellent variety. The 
color isan exquisite shade of rosy blush, changing 
toa delicate flesh pink as the flowers advance inage. 
The delicacy of tinting is without a parallelin apy 
elass of flowers within Our knowledge. The soft, 
feathery growth peculiar to the ** Ostrich Plume’’ 
class is even more pronounced than in any of its 
predecessors, and in this varietyit has an additional 
charm. The flowers are of the largest size, and are 
borne on strong vigorous stalks. The growth of 
the plant is all that could be desired. (See cut.) 
Price, for any of the above, 25c. each; set of five 
“Ostrich Plume” varieties for $1.00.
