Nagoya. Perfect stem and foliage, combined with 

 richness of color in the bloom and ease of culture, 

 make Nagoya a safe variety to grow in quantity. It 

 matures with us November 20. Reflex type. 



Golden Chadwick. When high-class blooms are the 

 object, this variety reigns supreme. Its rich yellow 

 color, combined with the good characteristics of the 

 Chadwicks. places it as one of the best late yellow 

 varieties. 



Improved Golden Chadwick. Judging from 10.000 

 plants of this sport, grown side by side with the 

 same quantity of Golden Chadwick, the difference 

 between them is in coloring more than in any other 

 characteristic. It is brighter yellow by several 

 shades. It matured a week later and with blooms of 

 practically the same size.
