THE DING-EE.& CON&RD COMPANY'S 



Grand Columbian Set of Chrysanthemums. 



Varieties of Recent Introduction. 



The varieties embraced in this Set are the cream of Chrysanthemums, and have been selected espe- 

 cially to meet the wants of a great many of our friends who do not care for the most expensive novelties, 

 but who wish new and choice sorts at moderate prices. The varieties offered below are tested novelties of 

 the finest type, good growers and free bloomers of most desirable form and colorings, which can be 

 depended upon to make a brilliant display during the Autumn months. 



Grandiflorum. — This fine 

 old variety still holds its own 

 as one of the very best, 

 brightest yellows; fine, broad, 

 incurving petals. 20 cts. 

 each. 



Ivory. — Fine, round, fully 

 double flowers, borne in great 

 profusion ; color pure ivory 

 white; a strong, vigorous 

 grower and free bloomer; un- 

 surpassed for general culture, 

 both in pots and open ground 

 (see cut). 20 cts. each. 



John Bertermann. — A 

 vigorous, clean-growing vari- 

 ety, with large, perfectly mod- 

 eled flowers, showing pure 

 white to a cream centre ; up- 

 per petals horizontal ; centre 

 petals short and nearly up- 

 right; a grand variety. 20 cts. 

 each. 



J. S. Fassett. — Immense 

 Japanese variety; lilac crim- 

 son, shading pink; a bold 

 flower, in shape of Mrs. Irving 

 Clark, but much brighter and 

 larger. Grand for exhibition 

 "blooms. 20 cts. each. 



Judge Hoyt. — Extra-large, 

 incurved flowers; deep and 

 massive; color fine rosy pink 

 with pearly white centre, some- 

 times tinged sulphur yellow ; 

 rich and handsome. 20 cts. 

 each. 

 Lillian Russell. — A beautiful broad-petaled, clear sil- 

 very pink, incurving and forming an immense round ball 

 of largest size ; an early flowering variety, suitable for all 

 purposes; one of the collection winning the Astor Cup at 

 Madison Square Garden. 20 cts. each. 



Michigan. — This is one of the grandest Chrysanthemums 

 in cultivation. It is of strong, compact and uniform habit of 

 growth, and is remarkably floriferous; the stupendous num- 

 ber of buds and blooms, by actual count on an average plant 

 grown on our grounds, was over 400. The flowers are very 

 full, perfectly double and beautifully whorled in centre ; the 

 color, when bursting, is deep magenta, which, as the flowers 

 become more mature, develops into a rich maroon, with 

 reverse side of petals magenta. Among the many strong 

 points of this superb variety, when planted outdoors, is the 

 earliness and hardiness of bloom — the flowers retaining their 

 form and color after the most severe frosts — which will strongly 

 commend it. Michigan is deserving of the highest praise 

 and most extensive cultivation. 20 cts. each. 



Minnie "Wanamaker. — Immense flowers, borne erect 

 on stout stems ; deep, rich, full form, with broad, thick petals ; 

 color pure snowy white; a robust grower and abundant 

 bloomer; highly recommended. 20 cts. each. 



Mermaid.— A very delicate and chaste flower; clear 

 bright pink, passing to silver rose and white; broad waxy 

 petals, fine incurved form, exceedingly beautiful. 20 cts. each. 

 Mrs. Lay. — A very chaste and beautiful flower ; fine cup- 

 shaped; petals slightly incurved; pearl white, with fair.? 

 blush lines on edges of petals; very double and well filled. 

 20 cts. each. 



Sugar Loaf.— Noted for its vigorous growth and immense 

 bloom ; large, finely formed flowers ; rich canary yellow, 

 sometimes shaded bronze; took $50 premium at Cincinnati 

 Show, and one of six to win the $100 at Indianapolis ; highly 

 recommended for open ground and does well everywhere. 

 20 cts. each.

 ing and gorgeous varieties ever sent out. 20 cts. each.

 perb varieties recently introduced ; grand flowers, with broad, 

 thick petals and slightly incurved form, standing erect on
