CH RY5ANTH EMUMS. 



We have again revised 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 necessarily 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 lav- 

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

 ers of fine size. 



Charles Davis. A golden sport from Vivian Morel ; light 

 yellow suffused with rich apricot ; grand flowers of great 

 size. 



Colonel Wm. 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. 



Frank Thomson. A splendid flower, very nearly 

 spherical in form; petals very broad and heavy, and finely 

 incurving; it is very nearly white in color, only showing a 

 touch of pearl-pink at the base of the petals.

 variety in existence ; flowers massive and of immense size, 

 with broad stiff petals, rich dark velvety crimson, without 

 a shade of brown or chestnut.

 inches in diameter and great depth of flower. 



Vivian Morel. Extra large flowers; petals long and loosely 

 arranged; a beautiful light shade of pink. 



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 

 Chrysanthemums 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 

 makes it gracefully globular in form ; its color is white, illumi- 

 nated with lemon yellow, giving it 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.
