Chrysanthemums 



The list of Chrysanthemums we are offering for the season of 1919 shows many changes from last 

 season and these are, we beheve, a great benefit to us and no injury to our trade. We have discarded 

 many varieties and ha\ e kept only such as have shown themselves really needed to maintain a balance 

 of color and season. This selection has ehminated many for which we may have calls during the 

 planting season but in the hst presented we ha\ c the superior of the discarded variety. 



Our aim is to grow in quantity those varieties which we ourselves would grow for the cut-flower 

 trade, regardless of the fact that we have hmited the hst of offerings. There is no break in the 'mum 

 crop from the start to finish of the 'mum season if planted from an intelhgent selection of varieties 

 from this hst, commercial cut-flower production governing this selection. 



New and Scarce I 



2Vi-inch pots, 25 cts. each, 



ARTISTA. Outer petals grooved or channeled re- 

 flex, while the center ones incurve irregularly, giving a 

 very artistic appearance to the bloom. Dwarf habit; 

 will not attain over 5 feet from February propagation. 

 White, with a slightly creamy tint in the depths. Best 

 bud August 20, maturing the last days of October. 



BOULE D'OR. A very large, light yellow bloom. 



LOUISE POCKETT. A very large-flowering va- 

 liety and one of the finest for exhibition purposes. It 

 will come pure white on the vcfn t arlv buds, but on the 

 later buds is a delicate shade of pink.

ixhibition Varieties 



$2.50 per doz., $15 per 100 



1 MISS ANOLA WRIGHT. Rose-pink in color. The 

 bloom is 8^2 inches or more in diameter. A strong 

 grower with medium-sized foliage. Its only weak point 

 is, the stem is scarcely strong enough to hold the large 

 bloom erect without support. Buds selected August 30 

 or soon after produce the best blooms. 



MRS. GILBERT DRABBLE. The largest white va- 

 riety and the hardest to propagate. 



NAG-IR-ROC. Deep, glowing orange-yellow in 

 color; very large flower. One of the finest exhibition va- 

 rieties that has ever been offered. 



OCTOBER KING. Deep golden yellow, maturing 

 early in October, too early for the November shows. 



OGONTZ. A seedling from Nakota, which it greatly 

 resembles in foliage, and has the same whorled arrange- 

 ment of petals; in size equal to its parent; petals decid- 

 edly grooved or channeled; color light primrose. Height 

 6 feet. Would not advise a bud earlier than August 30, 

 as the blooms are double from those selected in Septem- 

 ber. Matures first week of November. 



PRESIDENT JOHN EVERETT. The color is a 

 unique chamois-pink when first opening; petals closely 

 incurved, forming a perfect ball. As the flower develops, 

 the center petals open outward, showing a bronzy crim- 

 son reverse. An excellent exhibition bronze. 



WILLIAM H. WAITE. Deep bronze in color, so 

 brilliant as to seem almost shading to scarlet in some 

 of the flowers. 



WILLIAM RIGBY. Yellow sport of Mrs. Gilbert 

 Drabble. Beautiful, bright canary-yellow. Exact dupli- 

 cate of Mrs. Drabble except in color.
