The following are of perfect habit, perfect flower, perfect color, and 
perfect in every respect. They were selected with grer.t care from many 
and all sources. Some of them are the best of the new varieties intro- 
duced last season. Some are importations from Japan. Some from 
England, and a few from France. The rest of them have been in culti- 
vation a few years, but the stock has been so scarce they had never been 
properly distributed. This makes a collection bard to beat, gathered 
from the introductions of all the best raisers in all countries where the 
Chrysanthemum is grown. No enthusiast in “Mum” culture should be 
without them. The price per single plant is very low for these varieties 
and amounts to $4.00, but I will make

for $3.00. 
WESTERN KING. 
This, I believe, is the best white for exhibition blooms, or for plants 
on single stem. An incurved flower, with outer petals slightly reflexing; 
pure white; maturing Nov. 1st; height, 3£ to 4 feet; good from either 
bud; stem and foliage excellent; no variety has been as highly com- 
mended; has two certificates from the C. S. A., one from the N. C. S. 
of England, and certificates of merit from fourteen other societies. 15 
cents each. 
EVANGELINE. 
Pure white, similar in form to Kioto, but larger and more graceful 
than that beautiful old variety. Undoubtedly the greatest novelty of the 
year. Its type and form can be described by simply calling it White 
Kioto. Its size is 12 inches over, from stem to stem, a solid mass of 
petals, in color almost paper white; individual petals measure 4J inches, 
and intertwine into each other in such a manner that it makes one of the 
most exquisite Chrysanthemums ever put up. And its good points do 
not end with the flower, for the stem and foliage are well nigh perfect. 
20 cents each. 
MRS. MARTIN A. RYERSON.. 
A pure white, petals narrow; from crown bud it is reflexed, and from 
terminal the center builds up with interlacing incurved petals, making a 
very high flower, distinct in form. 15 cents each. 
MRS. JOHN J. GLESSNER. 
A light yellow, very distinct in form ; broad* petals, opening in a whirl, 
which, when matured, assume a convexed form; tips turning backward
