 cellence has made them famous. Out of the hundreds oi

 quisite beauty of flower and adaptabihty to general cultivation 

 — for garden or exhibition purposes — they have no superiors.

Beau Ideal.— A variety of great excellence. Color beauti- 

 ful bright rose pink. Flowers large and of good substance. 



Century. — Color rosy violet — a new shade. Very scarce. 



Challenge. — One of the very best. Flowers perfect globe of 

 gold; color bright yellow. Is said to be the ideal yellow. 



Crystallina. — The flowers are snow white, free and double, 

 and well filled to the centre ; quite distinct in every way. 



Eugene Dailledouze. — A wonderfully beautiful variety. 

 Glowing yellow flowers, full to the last degree. 



Golden Wedding. — This fine variety swept everything ber 

 fore it at the New York and Philadelphia shows. In colo- 

 it is deep bright gold of shming texture ; very large in size ; 

 a perfect Japanese incurved ; free in growth and quite early. 



Inter-Ocean. — At the Chicago show this large bloom took 

 first premium as the best of any color. The color is a glis- 

 tening, pearly white with a suffusion of pink. 



Major Bonnaffon. — Soft, clear incurving yellow, full in the 

 centre; 6 to 7 inches across and nearly as deep. In form 

 and finish it is perfect — hke Ivory at its best. 



Marie Louise. — Very early ; flowers are large and in color 

 the purest white. A plumy globe of rare beauty. 



Miss M. N. Johnson. — This is a beautiful golden yellow 

 variety ; very full and recurving, with broad petals. Pro- 

 duces remarkably large flowers in clusters. We recom- 

 mend it as one of the very choicest. 



Mrs. Moses J. Wentworth. — It is a strong, compact 

 grower, with large rich yellow flowers, of wonderful depth 

 and substance ; an improvement on many of its color in 

 the Chinese class. 



Mrs. Wm. H. Rand. — This is the most distinct variety in 

 the entire group. In color it is a rich, remarkable yellow. 

 Petals fine, large, twisted and irregularly reflexed, making 

 it resemble a tangled mass of large gold thread. It is a 

 good grower, a free and easy bloomer, and is destined, we 

 think, to become exceedingly popular. 



Mrs. J. Geo. lis. — A massive pure white variety of great 

 substance ; growth very vigorous. 



The Queen. — A grand double white of fine size and great 

 substance. Totally distinct. Very desirable. 



Mrs. E. G. Hill.^-This grand acquisition possesses all the 

 characteristics that go to make an ideal Chrysanthemum 

 for amateur culture — earliness, size, form, color and vigor 

 of growth. With us it came into bloom in the open 

 ground about October 15. This valuable feature alone 

 will insure its future. The flowers are certainly magnifi- 

 cent, in fact the finest we have ever seen on our grounds — 

 a grand incurving sphere, full and deep. A single plant 

 produces a mass of flowers, many of which measure 5 and 

 6 inches across. In color it is a beautiful clear pearl pink 

 — a "La France" pink would express it more forcibly. 

 It was the only variety that received a Columbian medal 

 previous to the great Chicago show. 



"Philadelphia." — Magnificent in form, of immense size 

 and entirely distinct in coloring. This grand variety was 

 the sensational variety of 1896. Both in this country and 

 abroad it won the highest prizes," and wherever exhibited 

 was received with the greatest enthusiasm. At the great 

 Chicago show this description was given it by the judge 

 who awarded it a certificate: " A grand, large, incurveci 

 bloom, full and globular, the most distinct variety on exhi- 

 bition. Creamy white in general effect, tone of color diffi- 

 cult to describe." 



It blooms early and with greatest freedom. Should be 

 included in every order, as it is one of the best varieties for 

 general cultivation.
