New and Valuable Chrysanthemums, continued I 



MISS ELIZABETH SMITH. An incurved flower, | 

 orange-bron/.e in color. Good stem and foliage. One 

 of the best of the new % arletles. 



RICHMOND. The phrase, "An early Bonnaffon," 

 describes this variety. A brigiit gohlen yellow that has 

 every promise of making a name for itself. Perfect in 

 form and perfect in color. 



WHITTIER. Bright golden yellow in color, coming 

 into bloom just after Richmond and just before Bonnaf- 

 fon. It is an incurved flower of the Bonnaflon type. It 

 is a promising variety and worthy of cultivation by 

 those who seek to grow better Chrysanthemums. 



YELLOW CHARLES RAZER. A sport which ori- 

 ginated with us. Light yellow but a strong healthy 

 grower. The flowers are well-formed and like its parent, 

 it is an easy variety to grow.

 preme; reflexed bloom. A sport of W. H. Chadwick. In 

 bloom from November 20 to December i. 



Charles Razer. Pure white, with strong stem; foli- 

 age as handsome as Eaton; flower much like Bonnaffon 

 in form, but larger. Blooming date, November i. 



Chieftain. Deep, clear pink; incurved in type on the 

 order of Bonnaffon. A very fine midseason pink variety, 

 and a good companion to Bonnafl^on and Charles Razer. 



Chrysolora. A very fine commercial yellow. Me- 

 dium to tall ingrowth; foliage heavy. Considered the 

 finest early yellow variety ever introduced. 



Colonel Appleton. An old favorite yellow, used for 

 exhibition and for general growing. 



December Gem. Flowering season extends from the 

 last of November to middle of December, according to 

 date of buds. White with a slightly pink tinge. Ball- 

 shaped; very stifi", wiry stem. 



Dr. Enguehard. A late commercial pink. A variety 

 that is always safe to plant. 



Early Frost. A very early commercial white. A cross 

 between Golden Glow and October Frost. Height 3 feet. 

 Pure white flowers, perfect in form and full to the center. 

 Sets buds early. Is an excellent shipper. 



Early Rose. Clear, bright pink in color; good stem 

 and foliage. Matures early in October. 



Edwin Seidewitz. An Incurved pink that will ma- 

 ture for Thanksgiving Day. In color and form the flower 

 is all that can be desired. Late plantings are to be pre- 

 ferred and perfection can be secured by planting not 

 earlier than the middle of June. 



Glory of the Pacific. Dwarf habit; fine for early 

 pink. Valuable where head-room is lacking. 



Golden Chadwick. When high-class blooms are the 

 object, this variety reigns supreme. Its rich yellow color, 

 combined with the good characteristics of the Chad- 

 wicks, places it as one of the best late yellow varieties. 



Golden Glow. Owing to the ease with which this va- 

 riety can be brought into bloom at a desired date, it has 

 become very popular. Clear yellow in color. 



Golden Queen. A commercial yellow of the same 

 shade as Golden Glow, maturing October i to lo. In 

 many ways it is superior to Chrysolora, from which it 

 is a seedling, and is ten days earlier. Fine Incurved form 

 and fully double, from either early or late buds. Six 

 inches in diameter. 3J2 feet high. Good stem and foli- 

 age. Best bud August 10. 



Greystone. A beautiful shade of chamois-bronze; 

 dwarf habit. We can recommend it for pot-plant grow- 

 ing, and it is an excellent variety when grown to single 

 stems. Reflexed type; flower very distinct. Matures 

 October 25 to November i. It requires little head-room, 

 3/4 feet being suflicient. Can be planted close. 



Hamburg Late White. A late flowering pure white 

 sport of Maud Dean. 



Harvard. Japanese reflexed; very dark crimson. Is 

 in perfection November 1 5 and later, and is of special 

 value to those who desire red Chrysanthemums for the 

 closing days of ttie football season. 3J2 fci t high. 



Indian Summer. In color, the groundwork is yel- 

 low, but into tills are blended the terra-cotta and 

 salmon shades, with a tinge of bronze. The color of 

 autumn foliage during Indian summer in a measure 

 describes the coloring. 



Lynnwood Hall. A late pure white, noted for its 

 purity of color. Excellent, if well grown, and matures 

 late in November. 



Major Bonnaffon. The variety which is the stan- 

 dard for commercials; incurved; golden yellow. 



Marigold. The most phenomenal early yellow ever 

 offered; brighter than Golden Wedding in color; o inches 

 in diameter, maturing October 1 5. Buds secured August 

 15 to 20 give best blooms. It must be planted early 

 and the first crown bud taken for the best results. 



Maud Dean. Late pink, following Chieftain. One 

 of the oldest and most reliable. November 10 to 20. 



Mistletoe. A commercial Incurved variety, maturing 

 at Thanksgiving or later. White tinged with pink. 



Mrs. C. C. Pollworth. A deep yellow sport of 

 Chrysolora. 



Mrs. Morgan. Deep yellow, reflexed sport of 

 Yellow Eaton. 



Mrs. W. T. McNeice. It is a nice shade of deep pink 

 in color and is valuable in that it comes into flower 

 between Pacific Supreme and Chieftain. Reflexed in 

 form. It grows easily, handles well, and ships well. 



Oconto. A white Japanese, incurved, of large size, 

 with strong, rigid stem and perfect foliage. October 

 15. Height 4 feet. Best bud August 30. 



October Herald. From the early buds of this va- 

 riety we got a flower equal in size to exhibition bloom 

 but'lacking in stem. From the late buds a beautifully 

 colored flower of medium size was obtained that came 

 to maturity October 25. The color is a soft shade of 

 bronze. We believe October Herald an acquisition to the 

 list of good varieties. 



Pacific Supreme. The most widely grown early 

 pink. Matures October 10 to 20. 



Polly Rose. An early, pure white variety; dwarf 

 habit. 



Roman Gold. Foliage and stem of excellent char- 

 acter. The flower is finely formed and a deep, rich yel- 

 low in color. October 20 to November i.
