GARDEN MANUAL FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES. 



1+1 



5th. Winner of the $200 prize for best 

 seedling at Kansas City. 



The Yellow Eaton — "Dr. Oronhya- 

 tekha." A bright yellow sport from Timo- 

 thy Eaton, only a shade lighter than Ap- 

 pleton, and especially valuable as the 

 best in its color to follow that fine variety 

 up to the close of the Chrysanthemum 

 season; foliage 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 com- 

 mercial purposes as well as for show, we 

 can cheerfully recommend this grand va- 

 riety; it is strictly A No. 1. Scorea yl. 



Miss Minnie Bailey — A seedling from 

 Mrs. Perrin, possessing good stem and 

 foliage, but surpassing that variety in 

 fullness, being fully double under all con- 

 ditions. 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 

 incurved. 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 collec- 

 tions. 



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

 mercial purposes, use the first crown, 

 which brings it early and large; if for ex- 

 hibition, use the second crown, which j 

 brings a flower with a better finish; 

 dwarf, stiff-stemmed, elegant in foliage, 

 enormous in bloom, finely incurved and 

 golden yellow. 



Geo. W. Child s — The best known of the 

 reds and golds. Easily injured by over- 

 feeding. Fine for" bush plants. 



Golden Wedding — Nothing finer among 

 yellows; shines like burnished gold; the 

 standard for measuring color. 



Geo. Carpenter — A very full, long-pet- 

 aled Japan ideal, exhibition sort; should 

 be in every collection. Color, light rosy- 

 mauve. 



Mrs. Weeks — One of the most beauti- 

 ful and decorative of all the white 

 chrysanthemums; incurving petals of 

 purest white. A trifle soft for commer- 

 cial purposes. 



Kate Broomhead — 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, which has never 

 been surpassed. 



Lavender Queen — One of the most 

 beautiful and delicate of lavender pinks. 

 Very refined in form, foliage and habit; 

 easy to do. Beautifully reflexed in form, 

 showing the color perfectly. Extremely 

 large. 



Mrs. H. Robinson — In actual beauty 

 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 October 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 in- 

 curves are admired, Mrs. Robinson will 

 lead. 



Major Bonnaffon — The most widely 

 grown of yellow sorts for commercial 

 purposes. 



Timothy Eaton — The "Commercial 

 Traveler" — Will go half across the con- 

 tinent without looking "tired." 



Height, Zy 2 feet; time, November 5, 

 and later; can be spaced 6x8 inches; 

 take bud between August 25 and Septem- 

 ber 15; use first or second crown. The 

 terminal bud brings a brittle stem, break- 

 ing frequently at the first shoulder. 

 First of all, it is a splendid grower, has 

 elegant foliage, a stiff stem, perfects all 

 its flowers, and produces an enormous, 

 full, deep creamy white bloom. 



T. Carrington — A very large Japanese 

 incurved; color, carmine rose, with sil- 

 very reverse. Fine for exhibition. 



Marian Newell — Pure pink,' with no 

 magenta shade. Reflexing with nice wide 

 petals; full and double, 9 inches across. 



Buff Globe— A sport from Good Gra- 

 cious. Buff, shaded orange. 



Frank Hardy — A pure white sport from 

 Good Gracious. Take crown bud only. 



Simplicity — A pure white Japanese va- 

 riety equal to Mme. Carnot in size. 



The Queen — Japanese Incurved. A 

 very popular white. 



Mrs. J. Jones — A very popular pure 

 white. Good keeper. 



Mrs. Geo. F. Bear— (Syn. Yellow Mrs. 

 J. Jones.) 



Mutual Friend — A broad, spreading 

 flower of the purest white. As an exhibi- 

 tion bloom it has few equals. 



Intensity — A large reflexed flower, 

 showing only the bright crimson upper 

 surface of petal. Strong, upright growth. 

 It has no equal as a late commercial red. 



Niveus — Grand white of easy culture. 

 Valuable for all purposes. Can be flow- 

 ered late. 



Frotscher's Improved Large Passion Lettuce is Reliable.
