THE CREAM OF ALU THE NEW CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
AUOUST SW ANSON. Our engi-aving (see page.3ti) gives a perfect icea of the form and substance of this flower, 
while the color is bright scarlet, lined with bright gold. It is the most brilliant of the Wheeler type, rather dwarf 
in habit, and very free in bloom. A magnificent exhibition pot variety. One of our own seedlings, which we offer 
with the greatest confidence, knovring that it will please. 
FLORA HHiXi. The finish of the flower is exquisite. It is of splendid size and heavy texture; outer petals hori- 
zontal or slightly recurving; the creamy center is perfectly full and incurved. It is a good clean grower, 
with fine constitution. Mr. Robert Craig says : "Flora Hill is simply grand; finer than any other white; very 
lai'ge and full." This received first-class Certificate at Indianapolis. One of the most beautiful forms, and most 
perfect whites in the whole Chrysanthemum family. 
FRANK THOMSON. A splendid flower, very nearly spherical in form ; petals very broad and heavy, and finely 
incurving; it is very nearly white in color, only showing a touch of pearl-pink at the base of the petals. The 
gentleman for whom it was named (the vice-president of the Penn'a R. R. Co.) sent the raisers a valuable silver 
cup, to show his appreciation of the magnificent flower named for him. Received first-class certificate at Indi- 
anapolis. A strong grower, carrying flowers on stiff stems. The blooms of this variety sold at S9 per dozen over 
the counter in Philadelphia this fall. 
HARRY E. WISENER. Bright 
lemon yellow in color, without shad- 
ings; flower large, on stiff, stout 
stems that hold the flowers erect 
without support ; incurving, forming 
a large rounded surface; petals 
crisp and stiff ; ver,v free in growth, 
but not coarse. 
PHILIP BREIXMEYER. A most 
distinct variety, having heavy stems 
and foliage of light yellowish green ; 
the flower is of the brightest golden 
yellow, extremely double; petals 
rather short and of heavy texture: 
of helianthus form. We predict that 
this will rank among the foremost 
as a pot variety, and also as a cut- 
flower. 
MRS. ISAAC D. SAILER. Took the 
Sailer prize at Philadelphia. A 
flower of the largest size, finely in- 
curving, with broad sharply pointed 
petals ; a strong grower, producing 
heav.v flower stems ; the color is soft 
shell-pink, touched with lemon on 
the extreme tips of petals. Its 
keeping qualities after cutting are 
extraordinary. 
SUGAR LOAF. This is the freest- 
growing and freest-flowering sort 
that we know, and under the most 
ordinary treatment produces quanti- 
ties of flowers of the grandest size. 
The outer petals recurve slightly, 
while the inner rows incuiwe; the 
color is varying shades of yellow, 
often shaded bronze, sometimes per- 
fectly clear. A giant grower, with 
.MRS. ISAAC D. SAILER.
