 double pink. This is a sport from the double 

 white bouvardia, Alfred Neuner; novel and 

 handsome.

 the well-known B. Elejxans. While inherit- 

 ing the vigorous growth of its parent, it 

 has larger dark pink flowers of a distinct 

 and handsome shade, but its greatest char-

NEW VARIETIES. 



We are the largest growers in the South of 

 these beautiful autumn flowers and take great 

 pride and care in their cultivation, always ad- 

 ding the best of tlie new introductions as soon 

 as proved worthy, our stock consists of over 100 

 varieties, and we are prepared to supply the 

 popular All Saints Day kinds by the 100 or 

 10 )() on short notice, such as Mrs. H.Robinson, 

 white; Mrs. Coombes, pink; H. Cannel and 

 Col. Appleton, yellow; w^e call special attention 

 toour new varieties, especially Wm.Duckham, 

 which is without doubt the finest pink ever 

 introduced and should be in every collection 

 whether for exhibition or garden. 



Wm. Duckha?! — A very large Japanese in- 

 curved and of a pleasing shade of pink, winner 



of the silver cup of the Chrysanthemum So- 

 ciety of America and of many gold 

 medals and prizes, in fact everywhere it has 

 been exhibited, which speaks more for it, 

 than anything we can say about it, 

 no one should fail to get this, it is an extra 

 strong grower and easy to manage, price 50 

 cents. 



Honesty — A Japanese variety of immense 

 size, color pure white; we believe this to be 

 one of the best varieties for All Saints day, 

 being larger than Mrs. H. Robinson and a 

 much stronger grower, price 25 cents. 



Dr. Engtiehard— One of the best varieties 

 of recent introduction. Color a true pink 

 without the least trace of purple, 25 cents. 



F. J. Taggart — One of the most wonderful 

 of the ostrich plumes, a great advance over 

 all yellows in this class being perfectly double 

 and the hair like filament more pronounced. 

 No other variety will attract so much atten- 

 tion as this, color light yellow, 25 cents. 



Miss Alice Byron — One of the grandest 

 whites, introduced for some time and the 

 purest in color of any we grow, and it is sure 

 to prove valuable for All Saints day as it 

 blooms about the same time as Mrs. H, 

 Robinson, 25 cents. 



Mrs. Coombes — An enormous reflexed 

 flower with very broad petals, in color a beau- 

 tiful shade of rose, the best of this color for 

 All Saints day, 25 cents. 



Mdle. Marie Liger — Color, deep pearl 

 pink. Incurved. Dwarf habit. Fine stem 

 and foliage. Price, 25c. each. 



Miss Lucy Evans — New. A beautiful heli- 

 otrope ])ink, clearer in color and larger in size 

 than the very popular Mrs. Coombes, and 

 opens freely and easilj^; incurving center, re- 

 flexing outer petals, 25 cents. 



Mrs. Bassett— Fine lemon yellow; a sport 

 from Mrs. Robinson. No other variety ap- 

 proached it for size at this date. 



Convention Hall Closely resem- 

 bles The Queen in stem, foliage and form, 

 but is v/ithout the objectionable eye; color, 

 white, of an exceedingly pure tone; very 

 broad center petals, incurving closely; tubu- 

 lar ray florets. Height. 4 feet; second crown 

 or terminal, maturing Nov. 5th. Winner of 

 the $200 prize for best seedling at Kansas City. 



The Yellow Eato n — "Dr. Oron- 

 hyatekha." A bright yellow sport from 

 Timothy Eaton, only a shade lighter than 

 Appleton, and especially valuable as the best 

 in its color to follow that fine variety up to 

 the close of the Chrysanthemum season; foli- 

 age very beautiful stem first rate, and quite, 

 strong enough to hold up the monster blooms 

 which do not show the coarseness sometimes 

 attributed to Eaton; for everybody's use, and 

 for commercial purposes as well as for show,' we 

 can cheerfully recommend this grand variety; 

 it is strictly A No. 1. Scored 91.
