"WELLS-POCKETT" SET 



j& j& j& FOR 10O5- j& j& j& 



We offer herewith a collection from this world-famous 



combinations of Chrysanthemum raisers. The finest varieties 



of recent years are from this source, and these are improvements 



on existing sorts. The heights given are for single-stem plants. 



Merstham Yellow. This is a yellow similar to Mrs. T. W. Pockett, 

 but more massive, and a better finisher. It is at its best 

 the end of October. Second or third crowns, 4 ft. 



Mrs. H. A. Allen. Deep rosy-pink, one of the largest of any; 

 in fact, it will be a struggle with Madam Carnot for size. The 

 florets are broader and the flower is over 9 inches, either 

 way, and as good as it is big. The habit is of the very best. 



Mrs. W. Duckham. This may be described as a deep golden- 

 yellow Nellie Pockett, with red lines on the edge of florets. 



Mrs. Barnard Hankey. Incurved, mahogany bronze. This 

 was awarded an F. C. C. by the N. C. S.; also an F. C. C. at 

 Edinburgh; by the S. H. S. Second crowns.

 growers; it has large beautiful foliage, and quite one of the 

 best; it is ~\ inches across. Bronze Medal in Edinburgh. 



J. H. Doyle. Terra cotta, a flower of the largest size. It was 

 awarded the Gold Medal amongst 13 competitors for the best 

 novelty. It has a beautiful habit, and only grows 4 ft. high. 



Merstham Red. Reddish-chestnut, with bronze reverse; a 

 noble flower with broad florets, something in the shape and make 

 of Mrs. George Mileham, full 8-inch flower. Second crown. 



Miss A. Dighton. Incurved, a beautiful broad-petal variety, 

 deep cream, shaded bronze, needs no dressing; was awarded 

 an F. C. C. at the N. C. S. It also received First Class Certifi- 

 cate from the Scottish Horticultural Society at Edinburgh.
