F. J. TAGGART (1) 



The Most Striking Novelty Ever Introduced 



This superb new ostrich plumed or hairy Chrys- 

 anthemum was the feature of the great Shows at 

 Kansas City and Chicago, and no other variety 

 attracted so much attention and brought out such 

 exclamations of wonder and surprise. Imagine a 

 perfectly formed, double, ball-shaped flower, eight 

 inches in diameter, of BEAUTIFUL. LIGHT YEL- 

 LOW, covered in the most pronounced fashion of 

 any variety yet known with delicate, ostrich-like 

 filaments, giving it an appearance of indescribable 

 beauty. A strong grower, both for single flowers 

 and in bush form, and a variety of wonderful merit. 

 Won $150 special prize and gold medal at Kansas 

 City exhibition, also bronze medal at Chicago. In- 

 deed this is the novelty of the year. Ours is the 

 original stock. Strong plants, 20 cts. each; 3 for 50 

 cts.; 7 for $1.00; $1.50 per dozen, postpaid. 



CONVENTION HALL (2) 



A. Queen Among Whiles 

 Unquestionably the finest WHITE produced for 

 many years, if not the very finest white now in 

 cultivation. Experts claim for it that it is so white 

 that Mrs. Weeks is dirty compared with it, while 

 it surpasses Timothy Eaton or any other white in 

 size and contour. Immense flower, with very broad 

 center petals, incurving closely, full to the center. 

 One of the great prize winners of the year, among 

 other distinctions having won the $200 'prize at the 

 Kansas City exhibition. Superb in every way. 

 Strong plants, 20 cts. each; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for $1.00; 

 $1.50 per dozen, postpaid. 



MARIE LIGER (3) 



The Pink Timothy Eaton 



A beautiful French variety, now thoroughly 

 Americanized — a daughter by adoption. Ranks with 

 the great varieties, such as Robinson, Appleton and 

 Eaton, not only in size and depth of flower, but in 

 its magnificent color, as well as the grand con- 

 stitution it possesses. The flowers measure nearly 

 six inches across, of beautiful globular form, pro- 



duced on splendid stems, with handsome foliage 

 from soil to flower. Is a strong, dwarf grower, 

 requires no stakes, and an early bloomer. The 

 color is BEAUTIFUL PEARL PINK DEEPENING 

 TO A BRIGHT SHADE at the base of petals. A 

 magnificent variety both in the open ground and for 

 pot plants. Sold recently at $1.00 each. Experts 

 claim this to be the greatest variety of its color 

 now in existence. Strong plants, 20 cts. each; 3 for 

 50 cts.; 7 for $1; $1.50 per dozen, postpaid. 



CASCO (4) 



A Superb Garnet-Ited 



This superb variety is remarkable for its color, as 

 well as for its strong merits when grown in bush 

 form either in pots or in the open ground. It has 

 a wonderfully strong constitution, producing its 

 flowers in great abundance and maturing them 

 with great uniformity of color, which is PURE 

 SELF GARNET RED, not only a beautiful but very 

 rare color in the floral kingdom. The flowers are 

 splendidly made, of beautiful incurved form, large, 

 full and double. An impressive variety of great 

 merit. Will please every one who plants it. Strong 

 plants, 20 cts. each; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for $1; $1.50 per 

 dozen, postpaid.
