CHRYSANTHEMUMS— Continued 



New Single Varieties 



Plants from 2J<-inch pots: 15c. each, $1.25 per doz., $7.50 per 100. 



Josephine. Splendid-growing, yellow single of exceptional merit. In 

 our opinion, the best yellow single in existence. 



Mensa. Pure white single; strong growing; medium height. Excep- 

 tionallj- choice variety. 



Oriole. A decided novelty; probably the most showy single variety 

 in existence. Owing to the character of the flower, the petals being 

 long, it is not a variety to be recommended for cut sprays, but 

 is purely decorative. It makes a most excellent pot plant, and 

 planted in a mass will make a gorgeous showing in the Fall.

Novelty Single Chrysanthemums 



Plants from 2}4-inch pots: 

 otherwise noted. 



Celia. Deep yellow, with a crimson center. The bush make 



ious display. May be termed an improved Pretoria. 

 Miss M. Ottler. Most quickly described as an improved Kitty Bourne, 



but flowers are larger and the habit of the plant more vigorous. 

 Grace Darling. Beautiful white; should not be disbudded; makes 



excellent sprays for cutting. 

 Mrs. Whitehorn. Salmon terra cotta ; an excellent keeper and shipper 



and one of the best commercial cut flowers. 

 Manor House. Terra cotta; very handsome variety for the collections. 

 Stanley Ven. Lovely rose 

 color; sprays are well di- 

 vided, doing away with the 

 necessity of any disbud- 

 ding. Won certificates in 

 Philadelphia, Boston and 

 Chicago. 



Gladys Duckham. One of the largest whites; winning 

 C. S. A. Certificates at Philadelphia and Boston. 



Catherine Hope. Brilliant orange terra cotta; rather 

 late for the earlier shows, but well worthy of grow- 

 ing. 



Golden Mensa. The parent of this variet}-, Mensa, 

 is probably the finest single that has ever been raised. 

 It is of a wonderful size, with enough petalage to en- 

 able it to be shipped thousands of miles and come out 

 of the box in perfect condition. In Golden Mensa we 

 have a yellow sport of the same identical in every way 

 with Mensa except color, which is a bright, golden 

 yellow. 



Miss F. Collett. Bright terra cotta. Very strong grower and satisfac- 

 tory variety. 



Mrs. W. Prouting. Primrose. Too late for any of the shows, but 



a splendid variety to grow for Thanksgiving. 

 R. B. Burge. Purest possible white flower, with a bright yellow 

 center. Like a beautiful Pond Lily. This variety enraptured all 

 the growers who saw it. Certificated at New York, Boston, Phila- 

 delphia and Chicago with the highest number of points of any single 

 that has been submitted to the Society's judges. Burge is a slow 

 propagator, but we hope to be able to fill all orders early in the 

 season. 



50c. each, $5.00 per doz. 

 Red Riding Hood. Entirely hardy with us for the past two seasons. 

 Makes a glorious bush two feet across, covered with the most brilli- 

 ant crimson flowers. Fully developed in the garden by October 1st. 

 There should be a place for this variety in every garden in the 

 country. 



Snowflake. Purest white. A large, splendid flower that is most 

 attractive.
