NEW EXHIBITION 

 VARIETIES 



2 '/4-inch plants, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz., $35 per 100. 

 Three of a variety at the dozen rate; 25 of a variety at 

 the 100 rate. 



ADELE GRISWOLD. A strong-growing variety, pro- 

 ducing large flowers, bright pink in color. Best bud 

 August 20. 



ALGONAC. A high and well-rounded, incurved flower; 

 white in color, showing a creamy tint at the center. 

 It is not large but is perfect in form. It will be tried 

 with interest as a commercial and is a possible addi- 

 tion to the select commercial varieties. 



BOB PULLING. Large, deep flower, orange-yellow in 

 color. It carries foliage well up to the flower. Take 

 bud August 10. 



CALUMET. For the early exhibitions this novelty of 

 last season is perhaps the best variety of the year. 

 It is bronze in color and incurved in type. In form 

 it is similar to and might be described as a bronze 

 Elberon. Best bud August 20. 



EARL KITCHENER. A very large flower, amaranth 

 in color, with silvery reverse to the petal. A strong 

 grower and we predict that Earl Kitchener will find 

 a place for itself in the exhibitions of the future. Best 

 bud August 15 to 20. 



ELVIA SCOVILLE. {A. N. Pierson, Inc.) A pure 

 white sport of Wells' Late Pink, originating with 

 Waller .Angus, of Chapinville, Conn., from whom 

 \\i iirc-d the entire stock. It was rxhihilcd 

 liiiii ,ii the New York Shows, and was Knatl\ .id- 

 niircd: its value being recognized b\' tlir gardener 

 who grows high-class varieties. In so far as we know, 

 it is the only white sport of Wells' Late Pink which 

 was shown this fall. It is a duplicate of the parent in 

 every characteristic except color, and we predict 

 that the show season of 1916 will see a rival to 

 William Turner in the classes for white varieties. 

 2|4-inch, 50 cts. each, S5 per doz. 

 ARTISTA. (Smith.) Introducer's description: This, 

 we believe, is the largest exhibition variety we have 

 ever raised and doubt if it will be surpassed by pny 

 now grown, not excepting William Turner, Odessa, 

 etc. Outer petals grooved or channeled reflex, while 

 the center ones incurve irregularly, giving a very 

 artistic appearance to the bloom. Dwarf habit; will 

 not attain ov'er 5 feet from February propagation. 

 White, with a slightly creamy tint in the depths. 

 Best bud, August 20, maturing the last days of 

 October. 254'-inch, $1.50 each, S15 per doz. 

 OGONTZ. (Smith.) Introducer's description: A 

 seedling from Nakota which it greatly resembles in 

 foliage, and has the same whirling arrangement of 

 petals; in size, equal to its parent. The petals are 

 decidedly grooved or channeled. Color light prim- 

 rose; height 6 feet. Would not advise a bud earlier 

 than August 30, as the blooms are double from those 

 selected in September. Practically the same as 

 Nakota except in color. Matures first week of 

 November. 2^4-inch, Si. 50 each, $15 per doz.
