BEST PLANTS FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE. 



CH RYSANTH EMUM5. 



Philadelphia. 



We have again revized our list of Chrysanthemums, and 

 in doing so it has been our aim to confine ourselves to a 

 limited list of the most distinct and desirable varieties, 

 rather than to offer an extended list which would neces- 

 sarily contain many similar and inferior varieties. 



Set of Twenty=five of the Finest 

 Exhibition Varieties. 



Beau Ideal. A bright rose pink -without a touch of laven- 

 der shading, with broad petals of good substance, flow- 

 ers of fine size-

 yellow suffused with rich apricot ; grand flowers of great 

 size. 



Colonel William B. Smith. An immense double high- 

 built flower, petals very broad and large, forming a solid 

 mass of the richest bright golden bronze. 



Eugene Dailledouze. There is nothing brighter and 

 clearer in yellows than this grand variety. The flowers 

 are large, full and double, and a free, easy grower. 



Fisher's Torch. Bright fiery red ; the richest shade in 

 commerce ; large and double, with high-built centre.

 variety in existence ; flowers massive and of immense

Niveus. This is a perfect gem. Color snowy-white ; flowers very large, 

 without the least approach to coarseness. The centre is irregularly 

 incurved, with the outer petals reflexing almost to the stem. 



Philadelphia. Undoubtedly the greatest acquisition in Chrysanthe- 

 mums for many years ; an entirely new type in coloring and in form 

 of petal or floret, and in the general contour of the flower, though 

 it is very nearly globular as a whole. The formation of its florets 

 and their disposition make it gracefully globular in form ; its color is 

 white, illuminated with lemon yellow, giving it a light and life never 

 before seen in a Chrysanthemum. It has been awarded the highest 

 honor by the American Chrysanthemum Society, and was also the 

 centre of attraction at all the fall Chrysanthemum shows. 



Pluto. A fine bold globular well-built flower, of a clear bright red, the 

 centre being incurved with the reverse of petals bright golden yellow. h. l. Sunderbruch.
