Ada Spaulding\ — Awarded the National prize at the Indianapolis Show ; a splendid silver cup presented 

 by Mrs. President Harrison, for the best New Seedling Chrysanthemum. Immense globe-shaped 

 flowers, 6 to 7 inches in diameter; large broad petals; color, very novel and distinct, lower half 

 of the flower rich deep pink, shading in upper portion to the present pearl white. Received also silver 

 medal from Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, First Premium from the New Jersey Horticultural 

 Society, Medal of Excellence from the American Institute, New York. Price, $i ; $io per doz. 

 V. H. Hallock. — This is another grand New variety, which if it could have been exhibited in time might 

 have taken some of the premiums given to others ; lovely rosy pearl of a clear waxy texture, with rich 

 crimson centre. Immense flowers, fully 6 inches in diameter, with full rounded form, and petals 

 drooping in the most graceful manner ; flowers last for weeks, and it is probably one of the most valua- 

 ble and striking novelties of the year. Price, 65 cts.; $6.50 per doz. 

 Louis Boehmer. — The -wonderful New Pink Ostrich Plume Chrysanthemum so much talked 

 about, same as the White Ostrich Plume, only rather larger and fuller flowers and clear, bright 



pink instead of white. Price, 60 

 cts. each ; with the White Ostrich 

 Plume (Mad. Alpheus Hardy), the 2 

 for 75 cts. 

 Mrs. J. Lewis Childs. — Jointly with 

 the owner, we now offer for the first 

 time, this valuable New Chrysanthe- 

 mum. It was exhibited at the New 

 York and Philadelphia Shows, at- 

 tracting much attention as one of the 

 very best incurved varieties, and was 

 awarded a Medal of Excellence at 

 the American Institute Fair. It is 

 a free, strong grower, easily attain- 

 ing 4 feet in the open ground ; the 

 enormous flowers are as round as 

 a ball, and produced in abundance 

 on long stems; the pure snowy- 

 white color develops a tinge of pink 

 so exquisitely faint that one almost 

 looks for the color in the light, and 

 not the flower ; used for decoration 

 in the evening, this feature has been 

 much admired ; altogether this new 

 variety is one of the most prominent 

 offered this year. Price, 35 cts. 

 each; 3 for 95 cts.; 6 for $1.75; 

 12 for $3.25. 



The Four magnificent New- 

 Chrysanthemums named above 

 |H for $2.10, or, including the White Os- 

 sl trich Plume (Mad. Alpheus Hardy), 5 



NEW CHRYSANTHEMUM, MRS. J. LEWIS CHILDS. for $2.25.

Next to Roses, perhapsno flower is more popular than the Perpetual-blooming-, Sweet-scented 

 Carnation Pinks. They are universal favorites, and are loved and admired by all. These splendid 

 new varieties are the latest novelties, and certainly among the very finest varieties ever brought out. The 

 introducer, who is a most careful and experienced Carnation grower, describes them as follows: 

 NEW CARNATION PINK— Golden Gate.— This is our finest production, in a solid, pure golden yel- 

 low, not a particle of stripe or foreign color of any kind; flowers are large and full, remarkably perfect 

 form, elegantly fringed, very richly scented and borne on long stout stems. It is a free, vigorous and 

 healthy grower, and a continuous bloomer; certainly the very finest yellow Carnation yet introduced. 

 Price, 50 cts. each ; $5 per doz. 

 NEW CARNATION PINK— J. R. Freeman. — A strong-growing, healthy, early and very free-flow- 

 ering variety, a seedling of "Anna Webb;" produces large, full flowers on very long stems, finely 

 fringed and exceedingly sweet; clove scented; color, bright, rich, cardinal red ; exceedingly beautiful 

 and a most excellent Winter bloomer. Price, 40 cts. each ; $4 per doz. 

 NEW CARNATION PINK— William P. Dreer.— This is certainly the strongest-growing, largest- 

 flowering, pink-colored Pink we have yet seen ; color, beautiful deep rose or coral pink, very clear and 

 bright ; extra-large, full flowers, perfect form, elegantly fringed and deliciously clove scented ; un- 

 doubtedly the very finest variety of its color. Price, 40 cts. each ; $4 per doz. 

 SPECIAL OFFER.— This set of Three splendid New Carnations post-paid for $1.10. 



THE CHEROKEE ROSE is a strong, erect-growing shrub, with deep glossy green leaves, and 

 bearing large pure white Roses in great profusion ; the flowers are single, but very beautiful and wax-like. 

 It is much esteemed in many parts of the South and Southwest, where it is extensively used for hedges, etc. 

 It is a beautiful shrub and worthy of more general planting. Requires protection in Winter north of 

 Washington, D. C. Price, 20 cts. each ; $2 per doz. Larger size, 30 cts.; $3 per doz. 



THE WHITE MICROPHYLLA AND RED MICROPHYLLA ROSES are hardy, vigorous and 

 bushy varieties; suitable for cemeteries, old walls, mounds, rock work, etc. They have small, glossy, 

 green foliage and are nearly evergreen in habit ; the flowers are semi-double, very pretty and sweet. 

 Each 15 cts.; the two varieties for 25 cts.; 4 for 50 cts.
