 growers; winner of the first prize for

 speaks more for it, than anything v/e can 

 say about it, no one should fail to get 

 this, it is an extra strong grower and 

 easy to manage. Price 25 cents. 



Dr. Enguehard — One of the best varie- 

 ties of recent introduction. Color a true 

 pink without the least trace of purple. 



Miss Alice Byron — One of the grandest 

 whites introduced for some time and the 

 purest in color of any we grow, and it is 

 sure to prove valuable for All Saints' 

 Day, as it blooms about the same time as 

 Mrs. H. Robinson. 



Mrs. Coomfce.j — An enormous reflexed 

 flov,^er with very broad petals, in color a 

 beautiful shade of rose, the best of this 

 color for All Saints' Day.

 sport from Mrs. Robinson. No other 

 variety approached it for size at this 

 date.

 The Queen in stem, foliage and form, 

 but is without the objectionable eye; 

 color, white, of an exceedingly pure tone; 

 very broad center petals, incurving close- 

 ly; tubular ray florets. Height, 4 feet;

The Yellow Eaton — "Dr. Oronhya- 

 tekha." A bright yellow sport from Tim- 

 othy Eaton, only a shade lighter than Ap- 

 pleton, and especially valuable as the 

 best in its color to follow that fine vari- 

 ety up to the close of the Chrysanthe- 

 mum season; foliage very beautiful, stem 

 first rate and quite strong enough to hold 

 up the monster blooms which do not 

 sho-v^ the coarseness sometimes attribut- 

 ed to Eaton; for everybody's use, and 

 for commercial purposes as well as for 

 show,, we can cheerfully recommend this 

 grand variety; it is strictly A No. 1.
