NEW AND MAGNIFICENT CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



MAJOR Soft, clear, incurving yellow, full in the cen- 



ter; 6 to 7 inches in diameter and nearly as 

 BONNAFFON deep, in perfect form and finish, like Ivory 

 at its besi. Habii dwarf; keeping- qualities 

 excellent. Foliage well up to the flower, stems stiff; an ideal 

 variety. Bound to be one of the Chrysanthemums necessary to 

 every collection. Awarded Columbian Medal. 25c each. 



Mrs. Robt. Craig— Pure snow white, incui-ved to form a'perfect 

 sphere, like the typical Chinese; perfectly double, and with the 

 breadth of petal and grandeur of build found in the Japanese. 

 Very large in size ; secured the silver medal at Philadelphia ; 

 certificate of merit at Madison Square; certificate of merit at 

 Indianapolis. 10c each. 



A. Liadenburg— A full and extremely double Japanese variety ; 

 immense size, having been grown 10 inches across ; style and 

 shape of Mrs. I. Clark, except in color, which is a clear delicate 

 rose pink; magnificent for exhibition purposes. Awai-ded certi- 

 ficate of merit by Pennsj'lvania Horticultural Society, also at 

 Madison Square Garden Exhibition. 10c each. 



Mr.s. Libbie Allen— A magnificent yellow. Flowers very fine, 

 of Japanese incurved form, and of large size. A strong, healthy 

 grower, with fine foliage. 10c each. 



M. B. Spaulding— An enormous cleai", deep lemon yellow; im- 

 mense in size; petals incurving and intei'lacing ; center full and 

 high, without an eye. Fine stiff erect stem, and elegant foliage. 

 Price, 10c. ^ 



John H. Taylor— Large, reflexed plumed blooms; ground of 

 bloom white, flaked and mottled a lovely shade of pink ; strong 

 stems, and growth of the best. A magnificent variety, demand- 

 ing attention everywhere on account of the delicacy and oddity 

 of coloring. 10c each. 



Walter Hunnewell— Mammoth, strikingly handsome, bronze 

 yellow, incurved Japanese bloom with broad solid florets and 

 blooms of immense depth. Dwarf, sturdy habit. A showy and 

 satisfactory variety in every respect. 10c each. 



Mrs. J. W. Crouch— The nearest approach to self purple yet 

 seen ; of globular Japanese form, very large in size, and petals 

 broad and of heavy texture* quite full, though not perfectly 

 double ; never shows the center, however. A strong and free 

 grower. 10c each. 



A. T. Ewing— Color Ci-eamy white, heavily banded and penciled 

 in carmine pink ; petals very thick, broad and flat, with nicely 



rounded tips; flat or slightly i-eflexed, central petals upright, 

 perfectly double, large and of fine form ; very free in growth 

 and bloom. 10c each. • 



Ostrich Plume— Louis Boehmer — This has the same wonderful 

 hair-like growth or excrescences that appeared for the first time 

 in the white variety, Mrs. Alpheus hardy, but it dilTers from it 

 in color, being a most beautiful shade of lavender pink, shaded 

 with silvery pink on the end of the petals. The blooms are 

 splendidly incurved, the inside of the petals are deep rose, so 

 that the contrast between their inner and outer surfaces is very 

 decided, and adds greatly to the appearance of the blooms. A 

 description only partly conveys to the mind the singularly novel 

 and beautiful effect produced by this rare development, and falls 

 far short of the reality which is so softly beautiful — and withal 

 so fantastic — as to be unapproached by anything we can recall, 

 unless it be the exquisite frost tracery seen upon glass in cold 

 weather. No garden or collection of Clirysanthemums vs'ili be 

 complete this season if it does not contain the Ostrich Plume 

 Chrysanthemum; It is of vigorous constitution, being one of 

 the strongest growing varieties we have, so that it is certain to 

 produce perfect blooms under ordinary cultivation. 15c each. 



Robert Mclnnes — Might be described as a perfectly double Mrs. 

 Wheeler; the color is quite as bright, both the scarlet and the 

 gold, while it is full to the last degree, a perfect globe in form; 

 it is quite early, being in full perfection the last week in Octo- 

 ber, and can be had earlier. Very brilliant in appearance as 

 well as grand in size and form. One of the very grandest of 

 recent introduction ; a sensational variety ; fine at all the shows. 

 Price, 10c. 



Charles Davis— An English sport from V. Morel, which it re- 

 sembles in all save color, which is a terra cotta or old rose, shad- 

 ■-iUB- '-Is^i' yellow at the center. It undergoes a great 



f^BS change in color as it matures, and is often found a clear 

 ^P^l yellow, which led to its being characterized as the " Gol- 

 ^ ' den V. Morel." Petals long and straight ; a fine grower 

 and grand variety. 2.5c each.
