Delivery April ISth. 

 Ulce 31. Flagler. Pure white 

 and foliage and one that in an average season should rank 

 very high. It might be described as a very much improved 

 Mrs. Robinson with a heavier stem. Crown bud August 20th. 

 Each 50c, doz. «5.0«, per 100 935.00. 

 Chadnick Supreme. A sport of W. H. Chadwick. This has 

 been grown for two years without a sign of reversion to the 

 parent. In all except color it is a Chadwick. The color is 

 very similar to Maud Dean. As a late pink Chrysanthemum 

 it has no equal and we do not hesitate to recommend it as a 

 late pink of unusual excellence. Each 92.00, doz. $20.00. 

 Chrysolora. This new variety can be briefly described as an 

 early Col. D. Appleton, coming in 15 days earlier; is of larger 

 size, stronger stem, not quite as tall and in color is inter- 

 mediate between this variety and Major BonnafEon. We con- 

 sider this one of our greatest achievements, possessing ster- 

 ling worth from a commercial standpoint, while its size and 

 splendid keeping qualities permit its taking a prominent part 

 I at the exhibitions. Best buds are those selected August 1st 

 ' to loth. Each 75c, doz. $7.50, per 100 »50.00. 



December Gem. A ball-shaped Japanese white, with pink stripe 

 on edge of petals, giving a pink or pearly tint to the blooms. 

 Stock planted early in June attained only Z^'z ft. in height, 

 and buds selected September 25th gave very perfect blooms 

 in. in diameter on December 1st. Later buds will give 

 succession to Christmas. Strong stem with ample foliage. 

 First-class certificate C. S. A. December 3rd. Price, each 50c, 

 doz. $5.00, per 100 $35.00. 



Golden Gem. There is no finer commercial yellow in the entire 

 Chrysanthemum family than this golden yellow novelty prom- 

 ises to prove. It is perfectly round, of a most brilliant color, 

 substantial in build and texture, with handsome foliage and 

 stiff stem; dwarf in growth, of splendid keeping qualities and 

 is apparently without a fault. Won the Sweepstakes prize at 

 the Indianapolis show, 1910, and was awarded the certificate 

 of the C. S. A. Each $1.00, do/.. $9.00, per 100 $50.00. 



Mrs. David Syme. The finest white ever produced for any pur- 

 pose. Won the C. S. A. Silver Cup and First Prize in any 

 competition in which it was entered. Absolutely perfect in 

 flower, stem and foliage. Each 50c, doz. $5.00, per 100, $35.00. 



Pioneer. A beautiful soft pink with wide petals, toothed at the 

 ends, giving the flower a very pleasing effect and apparently 

 the pioneer of a new type; there is nothing like it in form at 

 the present time; it is a new departure and is sure to become 

 a favorite. A good grower and builds a good flower on any 

 bud. Exhibition and commercial. Certificate C. S. A. Boston. 

 Each 50c, doz. $5.00, per 100 $35.00. 



Roman Gold. From September buds; a Japanese incurved and 

 darker yellow than Golden Wedding or Golden Age. From Au- 

 gust bud it produces a large reflexed flower, very suitable for 



. exhibition tables but not so intense in color. Stem and foliage 

 excellent; 4 ft.; in perfection November 1st. Best bud August 

 lath to 2 5th. Each 50c, doz. $5.00, per 100 $35.00. 



Smith's Advance. Pure white when fully expanded, showing a 

 creamy center when semi-developed. This is the earliest large 

 white variety known. Buds selected June 10th were cut July 

 25th. 5% inches in diameter with excellent stem, foliage and 



. remarkable substance. The later buds for August and Sep- 

 tember gave larger and finer blooms, carried on stems 3 to 3% 

 ft. long. This, like Golden Glow, will produce blooms at any 

 season of the year following an active period of growth. The 

 lateral growths which follow the removal of early buds are 



' not surmounted with terminal buds, as is the case with Gol- 

 den Glow, but push forward and produce another crown. This 

 course is continued until the nat al time for terminals to set 

 In Autumn. C. S. A. certificate. Each 50c, doz. $5.00, per 100 

 $35.00. 



Thanksgivings Queen. An improved and magnified Silver Wed- 

 ding, being larger and more double. Color creamy white and 

 maturing Nov. 20th, just right for Thanksgiving use. Only 4 

 feet high from early June planting; foliage medium in size; 

 stem so strong as to scarcely require tying; blooms 9 inches 

 In diameter. Best bud September 1st to 10th. Each 50c, doz. 

 $5.00, per lOO $35.00.
