CHOICE CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



On this page we offer a carefully selected list of choice vari- 

 eties shown at the exhibitions last season. They are all very 

 distinct and marked improvements over previous sorts. 

 Beatrice May. A splendid white variety, of the largest size. 

 It is unsurpassed in stem and foliage and has a splendid habit; 

 dwarf, strong and stocky. The foliage comes up to the flower. 

 C. Montigny. A very large, globular, closely incurved flower 

 with rather narrow petals; yellow with light lacings of red 

 on the edges of the petals. A grand mid-season variety. 

 Dolly Glide. A grand flower, color a soft creamy-white. A 

 grand flower with broad and heavy petals. Not the largest, 

 but splendid form, strong, erect stems and fine foliage. 

 Ethel Fitzroy. An early variety, color an orange-amber with 

 r?d shadings which is very attractive. A magnificent flower, 

 very large and handsome; a bold, fine incurved, Japanese 

 type with broad, curling petals. A very popular variety. 

 Jeannie Nonin. A grand, late, globular white. For Thanks- 

 giving Day and later this has no rival. It is a splendid flower, 

 keeping well long after being cut. Won the silver cup at 

 Chicago for the best white. A stately flower. 



Lady Cranston. 

 A "sport" from 

 Mrs. Barkley. 

 It is pure white 

 with a vivid 

 pink center, un- 

 ique and dis- 

 tinct; a sensa- 

 tional variety. 

 Mrs. John E. 

 Dunne. A splen- 

 did terra cotta, 

 withjust enough 

 pink and golden 

 yellow to brigh- 

 ten it and make 

 it most attrac- 

 tive. It is of 

 dwarf habit, 

 stccky, with fine 

 stems and fo- 

 liage. A beau- 

 tiful flower and 

 grand either for 

 exhibitions or 

 for cut flowers; 

 very large. 

 Mrs". "Henry 

 Partridge. The 

 most satisfac- 

 tory deep crim- 

 son variety yet 

 introduced; it 

 has a bronze reverse. It never damps the petals 

 and opens fine without any shading. The shape 

 of the flower is open, petals loosely overlaid, 

 showing the reverse slightly, so that the iprand 

 color is displayed to the best advantage. 



Goldmine. Appropriately named as to color, 

 for it is a mine of pure golden yellow. Large 

 flowers, broad petals, recurved and festooned 

 in the most graceful manner. 



Mrs. D. Willis James. A rich, warm shade of chestnut terra 

 cotta with an eld geld reverse. It is very early ; perfect 

 flowers were certificated in Xew York October 9th. Fine for 

 bush plants as in that stage the flowers are brilliant red. 



Mrs. D. V. West. A grand Chrysanthemum for all purposes. 

 Pure white, with broad curling florets which twist into 

 very graceful lines. It is altogether unique in form and is 

 one of the largest sorts grown. A gem, and should be grown 

 by every lover of the " Autumn Queen." 



Mme. G. Rivol. A yellow " sport " from Mme. Paolo Radaelli 

 and a splendid, deep color. The growth is splendid and it 

 is a useful sort for all purposes. 



Morton F. Plant. This is truly a magnificent variety. Im- 

 mense blooms on the style of Viviand-Morel, but twice as 

 large. The center stands high and the petals fall away from 

 it in a graceful, wavy shower. The color is a grand, true, 

 clear, rosy-pink, deep and lustrous, glistening in the sunlight. 

 It sccred 95 points on exhibition and commercial scale, a 

 remarkable record. The stem and foliage are grand. 



Mrs. J. A. Miller. A deep red and dwarf sturdy grower. Large 

 flowers, held a commanding position in the exhibitions. 



Mrs. F. F. Thompson. An informal flower of enormous size. 

 The form is deep and incurving, the petals twist and curl fan- 

 tastically. Color pink with creamy-white center. 



Old Gold. A charming color, aptly described by the name. 

 The flower is not one of the largest, but its lack cf size is 

 made up by the splendid stem and foliage. It is of unusua. 

 excellence for growing in pots and for use in decorative effectsl 



T. Richardson. Color the same as the Enchantress Carnation. 

 A delicate blush. Stem strong and splendid foliage. Won 

 first prize in Xew York. 



Valerie Greenham. A beautiful, bright pink variety shading 

 deeper towards the center and lessening slightly towards the 

 extremities. The coloring is charming, one of the best in its 

 type. The petals are extra long and they droop and curl in 

 lavish profusion. A uniform winner at the exhibitions.
