OUR NEW CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
(See pages 4 and 6.' 
It has always been our aim and ambition to insure, so far as lies in our power, 
all our patrons bebig suceessi'ul by specially preparing cur stock, carefully selecting, 
and rapid despatch, so that they arjive in the lest possible condition to go forward 
and win, if as in the present instance, proper after-treatment is adopted, they carry 
success w'herever they go. This is observed and freely commented u|)on far and n^ar, 
and to make it perfectly clear we have only to refer to Mr. Mease’s remarkable 
success w'ith Chrysanthemums in the greatest conte.sts both north and south for the 
long run of nearly 20 years. During this lime we have, w^e believe, every year 
received aud fulfilled an open order saying — “Enclosed cheque. Send me your 
selection of the best.” The result is, the.se have assisted year by year in winning 
numerous trophies and the two Gold Medals and X30 — the greatest coveted 
honours at the great Kational Jubilee Show' — therefore he stands in the dignified 
position to-day of being thampion of the champions, and we are delighted at his 
great and well-deserved success, for it goes far in confirming the high merit and value 
of our own seedlings, and the careful selecting from other raisers’ varieties which we 
exercise. It should be borne in mind Pridt of Madford, Australie, and Oceana are 
Australian-raised seedlings, and are the best yet introduced from that part of the 
w'orld. What is in evidence is that our own raised seedlings have a distinct dwarf 
habit with flowers of great size, depth, and broad florets, attractive build, and 
possessing a beauty not so strongly developed in other varieties. We now 
introduce the following, feeling confident that they will carry these who grow them 
to victory, and that gold medals will follow' wherever they are grown and exhibited. 
Our yearly increase in the sale of both plants and cuttings arises certainly from 
the fact that all varieties (1,400) are planted out and grow n in open, pure country 
fields, cut down early — not allowed to flower — large clumps removed and replanted 
near the glass and light ; stock from these are perfect, and the secret why all those 
we supply carry success wherever they go ; striking easily, grow ing quickly, and 
producing larger flowers, and brighter colours. 
We cordially invite all to 
the oldest, finest, and best-kept collection in the world. 
If any varieties tvorth prow ng a> e omitted from this Catalogue, please, suij, and, if wanted, 
they shall be immediOJely obtained and supplied.
