uniform winner at the exhibitions.

foot high and covering itself with hundreds of gold-

THE FINEST TYPES OF JAPANESE VARIETIES 
The following list represents the finest type of the Japanese Chrysanthemum, the results of high breeding by experts 
In all parts of the world. Gradually the Japanese type has asserted itself in this flower until it has almost submerged the 
others. From Japan have been brought the finest varieties grown there, the results of centuries of work and their blood- 
to use (he term— flows in the veins of these. 
Henry Barnes. An exceptionally deep but vivid crim- 
son, showing a rich golden reverse of the petals just 
enough to intensify the crimson but not to nullify it. 
The form is loosely incurved ; broad and massive 
petals. A grand variety for exhibitions. 
Xthelyn. A splendid globular variety with loosely in- 
curved petals, so that the style of the flower is 
graceful for a rather compact typo. The coloring is 
exquisite, a soft white with a warm blush piuk at 
the base of the petals ; this coloring less or more 
sufiEuses the whole flower. 
Mrs. D. V. West. A grand Chrysanthemum for all 
purposes. Pure white, with broad curling florets 
which twist into very graceful lines. It is alto- 
gether unique in form and is one of the largest sorts 
grown. A gem, and should be grown by every lover 
of -the "Autumn Queen."
