 Mrs. Perrin, possessing good stem and foliage 

 but surpassing that variety in fullness, being 

 fally double under all conditions. Color, 

 bright pink, very similar to that of Mrs. 

 Perrin, although a trifle lighter from the 

 influence of Lavender Queen, the other 

 parent. Height, 3^ feet; size, 5| inches. 

 Certificate C. S. A. 



A. J. Balfour — A very large Japanese in- 

 curved. Color, rose-pink, broad petals of 

 great substance. Fast gaining a first place. 



Brutus. Orange and red. Straight petals, 

 forming a half globular flower. Good color. 

 Nice for exhibition collections. 



Col. Appleton — As to bud: If for com- 

 mercial purpose, use the first crown, which 

 brings it early and large; if for exhibition, 

 use the second crown, which brings a flower 

 with a better finish; dwarf, stiff-stemmed, 

 elegant in foliage, enormous in bloom, finely 

 incurved and golden yellow. 



Calvet of '99 — An enormous Japanese 

 flower, very full; soft mauve or lavender 

 shading over white; has broad channekd 

 petals; slightly incurving; stem stiif, with 

 ample and beautiful foliage. 



Geo W. Childs —The best known of the 

 reds and golds. Easily injured by over-feed- 

 ing. Fine for bush plants. 



Golden Wedding — Nothing finer among 

 yellows; shines like burnished gold; the stand- 

 ard for measuring color.

 Japan iJeal exhibition sort; should be in every 

 collection. Color, light rosy-mauve.

 and decorative of all the white chrysanthe- 

 mums; incurving petals of purest white. A 

 trifle soft for commercial purposes. 



Kate Broo3ihead — A grand exhibition 

 variety, producing a massive flower of golden 

 amber or orange; in fact, the color is much the 

 same as in the fine old variety Source d'Or,

 fined inform, foliage and habit; easy to do.

 perfectly. Extremely large. 



Mrs. Perrin — SLillthe brightest of all the 

 pinks when well done; good rose color. 



Mas. H. RoBixsoN— In ;ictuil bsauty this 

 variety is still unsurpassed. It will hold first 

 •place for many a day to come, though we 

 shall have other types as good. From Oc- 

 tober 15 to November 1 it reigns supreme 

 among whites. Its one single fault is its 

 tendency to a weak stem in soils deficient in 

 lime, but so long as large, broad-petaled, 

 globular incurves are admired, Mrs. Robinson 

 will lead. 



Nellie Pockett — An Australian of great 

 beauty; a fine white of elegant form, incurving 



and ref^exing, rather narrow petals. Fine for 

 exhibition or commercial. Will rank with 

 Robinson, when well-known.

 grower, has elegant foliage, a stiff stem, per- 

 fects all its flowers, and produces an enorm- 

 ous, full, r'eep creamy white bloom. 



T. Carrington — A very large Japanese in- 

 curved; color, carmine rose, with silvery re- 

 verse. Fine for exhibition.
