()o NATURAL SIZE.) 



This is undoubtedly the grandest golden yellow variety 

 ever introduced and is the marvel of the period. It is 

 a remarkably vigorous grower and has such strength of 

 stem that it carries its great globular flowers erect, giving 

 it a bold majestic appearance. The form of Golden Wed- 

 ding is unique ; the outer petals droop downward in 

 picturesque irregularity, the centre of the flowers is built 

 high, with broad petals irregularly overlaid, so that 

 although the flowers are so large they are not heavy, 

 solid-looking, like many others. For this reason alone, 

 it will, no doubt, supersede all other yellow varieties with 

 the public. At the exhibitions last fall it was conceded 

 to be the finest yellow variety shown, and it will un- 

 doubtedly retain that position for years to come. 25c. 

 each, $2.25 doz. Large plants 50c. each, $4.50 per doz. 

 Gettysburgh. This is a deep crimson variety and origi- 

 nated as a "sport" from "Omar" in our grounds. The 

 outer petals are broad and drooping, and have a lustrous 

 sheen in the sunlight. The form is flat, with drooping 

 outer petals, which gives it a very graceful appearance. 

 25c. each, $2.25 doz. Large plants 50c. each, $4.50 doz.
