TYPES OF WELL GROWN GREENHOUSE CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
C. Montigrny- A very large, glohular, closely Incurvid 
flower with rather narrow petals: yellow with light 
lacings of red on the edges of the petals. A grand 
exhibition variety. Mid-season. 
Dolly Glide. A grand grower, color a soft creamy 
white, with broad and heavy petals. Not the largest, 
but splendid form, strong, erect stems and fine 
foliage. 
Japan. A very unique variety, Imported from Japan. 
The color is an exceedingly rich orange yellow, with 
citron red at the base of the petals. It is distinctly 
Japanese in shape, loose and graceful, with the ends 
of the petals curiously hooked and cleft. Very use- 
ful for loose bun< hes of flowers. It makes a splen- 
did plant for growing in pots. 
Mrs. D. Willis James. A rich, warm shade of chest- 
nut terra cotta with an old gold reverse. It is very 
early; perfect flowers were certificated in New York 
October 0th. Fine for bush plants, as in that stage 
the flowers are brilliant red. A nice dwarf grower 
with splendid stem and foliage. 
Mrs. John E. Dunne. A splendid terra cotta, with 
just enough pink and golden .yellow to brighten it 
and make it most attractive. It is of dwarf habit, 
stocky, with fine stems and foliage. A beautiful 
flower and grand either for exhibitions or for cut 
flowers ; verv large. 
Jeannie Nonin. A grand, late, globular white. For 
Thanksgiving Day and later this has no rival. It 
is a splendid flower, keeping well long after being 
cut. Won the silver cup at Chicago for the Ijest 
white. A stately flower and the most valuable of 
recent introductions for out flowers. 
Mrs. Henry Part- 
ridge. The most sat- 
isfactory deep crim- 
son variety yet lutro- 
duced; it has a 
bronze reverse. It 
never damps the pet- 
als and opens fine 
without any shading. 
The shape of the 
flower is open, petals 
loosely overlaid, show- 
ing the reverse slight- 
ly so that the grand 
color is displayed to 
the best advantage. 
Mme. G. Rivol. A yel- 
low sport from Mme. 
Paolo Uadaelli and a 
splendid, deep color. 
The growth is splen- 
did and it is a useful 
sort for all purposes. 
Morton F. Plant. This 
is truly a magnificent 
V a r i e t }'. Immense 
blooms on the style of 
Viviand-Morel, but 
twice as large. The 
center stands high 
and the petals fall 
away from it in a 
graceful, wavy shower. 
The color is a grand, 
true, clear, rosy pink, 
deep and lustrous, 
glistening in the sun- 
light. It scored O.'i 
points on exhibition 
and commercial scale, 
a remarkable record. 
The stem and foliage 
are grand. We can- 
not recommend this 
too highly either for 
exhibition or commer- 
cial use. Price, 50 
cts. each, .$5.00 per 
doz. 
T. Richardson. Crand new light pink variety. Color 
the same as the Enchantress Carnation. A'delicate 
blush. Stem strong and splendid foliage. Won first 
prize in New York. Price, 50 cts. each, $5.00 per 
doz. 
G. J. Brooks. Crimson maroon with reverse of plum 
color and touches of white; a loosely formed flower 
of the iucurved type, very graceful, showing the 
unique coloring at its best. The form is excellent 
and the finish to the flower splendid. Strong stiff 
stems and splendid foliage. Fine for exhibitions. 
Lady Cranston. A sport from Mrs. Barkley. It is 
pure white with a vivid pink center, unique and dis- 
tinct ; a sensational variety. 
Mrs. J. A. Miller. A deep red and dwarf sturdy 
grower. One of the largest flowers, and held a com- 
manding position in the exhibitions. 
Mrs. F. F. Thompson. An informal flower of enor- 
mous size. The form is deep and incurving, the 
petals twist and curl like a mass of ostrich plumes. 
Color pink with creamy white center. A grand ex- 
hibition sort. 
Matchless. A magnificent deep Indian red. The form 
is a fine type of the refle.xed Japanese which dis- 
plays at its best the beautiful rich color effects of 
the flower. It is a variety of very easy growth, fine 
habit, and one of the best for keeping long after 
being cut. In full bloom about October 15th. 
Old Gold. A charming color, aptly described by the 
name. The flower is not one of the largest, but its 
lack of size is made up by the splendid stem and 
foliage. It is of unusual excellence for growing ia 
pots and for use in decorative effects.
