CONVENTION HALL (*) 



A Queen Among "Whites. 

 Unquestionably the finest WHITE, produced for many years, 

 if not tbe very tinest white now in cultivation. Experts 

 claim for it that it is so white that Mrs. Weeks is dirty 

 compared with it, while it surpasses Timothy Eaton or 

 any other white in size and contour. Immense flower, with 

 very broad center petals, incurving closely, full to the center. 

 One of the great prize winners of the year, among otlier dis- 

 tinctions having won the $200 prize a't the Kansas City ex- 

 hibition. Superb in every way. Strong plants, 15 cts. each; 

 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for $1.00. postpaid. 



YELLOW EATON (2) 



The Queen of the Yellows. 



After a thorough trial we can cheerfully recommend this 

 grand variety as one of the very best of its color. It is a 

 sport from that great white variety Timothy Eaton, 

 differing from it only in color. It is a bright yellow only a 

 shade lighter than Col. Appleton, and especially valuable 

 as the best in its color to follow that fin? variety to the 

 close of the Chrysanthemum season. The foliage is very 

 beautiful; stems stout and quite strong enough to hold up 

 the enormous blooms, which are fully as large as that of its 

 parent, growing frequently 10 to 12 inches in diameter 

 without showing coarseness sometimes attributed to Tim- 

 othy Eaton. It is a Chrysanthemum for everybody's use, 

 as it is of easy culture. Any amateur can succeed with it. 

 and it is valuable both for commercial as well as show. It 

 will please you. 20 ets. each; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for $1.00; 

 $1.50 per dozen, postpaid. 



DR. ENGUEHARD (3) 



A Superb Pink Variety. 



One of the very best introductions of recent years. It orig- 

 inated in France, and has now become thoroughly American- 

 ized and has been awarded the highest honors wherever ex- 

 hibited. In color it is a remarkably beautiful shade of true 



pink, showing no traces of lavender or purple whatever. It has 

 the reputation of perfecting all its blooms, winch are spher- 

 ical in form, incurved, very large and perfectly double, mak- 

 ing it alike invaluable for comme ial and exhibition pur- 

 poses. The stem and foliage is simply perfect. It is easy to 

 handle, and will prove a choice variety for Amateur cultiva- 

 tion. Price. 20 ets. each; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for $1.00; 

 $1.50 per dozen, postpaid. 



F. J. TAGGART (4) 



The Most Striking Novelty Ever Introduced. 



This superb new ostrich plumed or hairy Chrysanthemum 

 was the feature of the great Shows at Kansas City and Chi- 

 cago, and no other variety attracted so much attention and 

 brought out such exclamations of wonder and surprise. Im- 

 agine a perfectly formed, double, bal. -shaped flower, -eight 

 inches in diameter, of BEAUTIFUL LIGHT YFLLOW. cov- 

 ered in the most pronounced fashion of any variety yet known 

 with delicate, ostrich-like filaments, giving it an appearance 

 of indescribable beauty. A strong grower, both for single 

 flowers and in bush form, and a variety of wonderful merit. 

 Won $150 special prize and gold medal at Kansas City ex- 

 hibition, also bronze medal at Chicago. Indeed this is the 

 novelty of the year. Ours is the original stock. Strong plants, 

 15 cts. each; ± for 50 cts.; 9 for $1.00, postpaid. 



GOACHER'S CRIMSON (5) 



The Finest Crimson. 



This choice variety comes to us from England, where it has 

 been extremely popular and has won many prizes in the ex- 

 hibitions given there. It will prove as popular in this coun- 

 try upon trial, and all those who desire to secure a Chrys- 

 anthemum with a good bright crimson color should not be 

 without this variety. It is the finest of early Chrysanthe- 

 mums for both color and habit. The flowers are 5 inches in 

 diameter and with beautiful stem and foliage. Another 

 point to recommend it is the fact that it is the most re- 

 markable keeper, flowers lasting well into November. Trv 

 it. Price,20 cts. each; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for$1.00; $1.50 

 per dozen, postpaid.
