Harry E. Widener. 



Hill's New Glirysantl^eiiiuins. 



Clara Rienien. Certificate of merit by the National 

 Clirysaiitlieiiiutn Committee at Indianapolis show. A 

 rich lavender rose in color, shading to silvery rose, 

 with a white centre. A very large o])en surfaced 

 flower of fine texture. 



Crown Prince. A s))lendid improvement on Mrs. C. 

 II. Wheeler, with broader petals, and of a deeper 

 hue of color. One-third larger than any in this 

 class. Color blood red on upper surface ; old gold 

 l>eneath. Fine incurved form. Early bloomer. 



linrry E. >Videner. Winner of the Blanc prize at the 

 Philadelphia show, November last, "for the best 

 seedling |>lant." This is unquestionably the variety 

 of the year, and unequalled in its color by any. 

 Bright lemon-yellow without .shadings. Flower 

 large, on stiff, stout stems that hold the flowers erect, 

 without support; incurving, forming a large 

 rounded surface; petals crisp and stiff'; very free in 

 growth, but not coarse. This is the cut flower variety, 

 and all that could be desired in the way of good color, 

 fine form, and lasting qualities. 



John Lane. A magnificent pink ball in appearance; 

 fine for pots, splendid for cutting. Color a rose-pink, 

 with peach or light shadings on under side of petals, 

 ends of centre petals tipped with gold. Flowers 

 borne on long, stiff, stout stems. An ideal out flower. 



Jlrs. J. T. Emlen. Deep blood-red on upper surface 

 of the petals ; under side old gold. A very large in- 

 curved flower of splendid shape. Considered a great 

 improvement over Mrs. A. Carnegie, both in size, 

 color and form. 



$1.00 each ; set 



Charles A. Reeser. A novel and peculiar shade of 

 color, quite distinct. A violet pink, without shadings. 

 A fine recurved variety of good habit. Splendid for 

 pots, making a fine exhibition plant. 



Carrie Denny. Clear amber, entirely di.stinct from 

 anything in cultivation. A most novel and striking 

 color. Comes in large spherical balls, incurving and 

 slightly whorled. 



Miss Mary Weightman, A magnificent and very 

 distinct chrome yellow, in form loose and feathery, 

 but very large and full. Flowers 10 inches across. 

 Early. One of the best commercial. 



Mrs. Wintlirop Sargeant. Brilliant straw color, in- 

 curved, carrying its flowers on long, stiff stems. Very 

 large, if not the largest in this line of color. A large, 

 grand flower. 



Molly Bawn. Those acquainted with Syringa will 

 need no word of praise for its sport — Molly Bawn. It 

 is pure white, having been grown two years, which 

 shows its color to be fixed. A most valuable variety, 

 on account of its size, shape and purity. 



Mrs. Edmund Smith. A beautiful pure white, of an 

 entirely new type of flower. Pure white, long narrow 

 petals, of great substance and lasting quality ; petals 

 beautifully interlaced ; entirely new type. 



Robert S. Bro\vn. A magnificent dark crimson, like 

 Hon. John Welsh in color but jour times as large. 

 Will make a magnificent exhibition variety, either as 

 a cut flower or grown in pots. Fine grower and free 

 bloomer. Color is the richest crimson, very Vright.
