The Japanese Anemone Chrysanthemums 
THE twelve varieties of novelty Japanese Anem- 
ones, known as the "Tuxedo Collection," 
which are to be distributed next year were 
raised by Mr. Carl D. Schaeffer, of Tuxedo Park, N. Y. 
Mr. Schaeffer, for many years has made a study of this 
type of chrysanthemum and he reached "the goal of 
success" in this wonderful collection — which was the sen- 
sation of the shows in Xew York, Philadelphia and Tux- 
edo this fall. Their colors are marvelous — the center 
tuft of quilled petals, which is the characteristic mark of 
the Anemone type — differing from the outer or ray petals 
in every variety so as to make a splendid combination 
which immediately attracts everyone's attention. Mr. 
Schafer set his plants out in the bench in early May and 
allowed three shoots — consequently three flowers to each 
plant. Everyone who saw them on exhibition will agree 
that when grown in this manner they left nothing to be 
desired in either size or anish. 
Japanese Anemone 'Mums will be the leading type in 
this flower for the next three or four years — since they 
are "something different" than people have been grow- 
ing and very attractive in the finished flower. 
The collection is as follows : 
Innocencia — Pure white with the tufted petals flushed 
pale pink and edged light yellow. An exquisite variety. 
Old Rose — As its name implies — old-rose in color on 
the outer petals with a shading of gold over the top of 
the center tuft. The combination of colors in this variety 
is fascinating. 
Wilfreda — The ray petals are pale-yellow ; the center 
petals bronze tipped maize-yellow. The outer petals 
stand straight out from the center and the growth is 
very stiff. 
Graf von Fleming — Outer petals, purest pale-lavender 
with a deep lavender tufted center, edged creamy-white. 
The outer petals of this variety — as well as the center 
Wee Wah. 
Graf I'on Oriola. 
Juno.
