Chrysanthemums 



Single Chrysanthemums, Novelties, 1917, continued 



KATEWOOD. At the Cleveland Exhibition in 1915, 

 the sweepstakes for a vase of Single Chrysanthemums 

 was awarded to this seedling. It is a clear, even shade 

 of pink; tall and strong in growth, making flower-sprays 

 in proportion. The flower is nicely formed. Matures 

 about November 10, coming between Mrs. Buckingham 

 and Mrs. Godfrey, and deserves to be placed as the 

 best pink Single for the middle of November cutting 01 

 for late exhibitions. 



PINK SIMPLICITY. (Mount Greenwood.) The 

 finest pink Sin^jle variety that we have ever offered. The 

 color is a clear, even shade of flesh-pink. The individual 

 flowers are large and of excellent substance. The 

 growth is medium but strong and supports the flower- 

 cluster perfectly. It makes large sprays. The flowers 

 do not crowd, being carried well apart. Matures early 

 in November. As an exhibition Single or for general 

 cutting it is, in our opinion, the best variety of the 

 type, regardless of color. 



VIRGINIA HOLDEN. (Mount Greenwood.) \ye 

 are offering this new dark crimson Single in the belief 

 that it is the best in existence. It is deep, velvety crim- 

 son in color and has ample stem to support the flower 

 which is not large, but beautifully formed. It makes a 

 good quantity of blooms to the spray, but is not crowded 

 as the flowers hold well apart. It is distinct and valu- 

 able.
