CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
3 
undersized. J. H. Woodford is a grand globular creamy white, with 
broad petals, and will prove a superior exhibition variety. Maud 
Adams, Mrs. J. J. Glessner, and Snnstone, are three remarkably fine 
yellows. They all differ in form, but the three are all worthy additions 
to our yellows. 
The varieties to be introduced this Spring are good. Solar Queen, 
Quito, and Wm. II. Chadwick; the latter is a phenominal seedling, and 
was certificated at Chicago, Boston, .New York and Philadelphia. 
Boundless Snow and Mrs. C. II. Peirce will be popular as soon as they 
get down to popular prices. The varieties v/hich showed well in dis- 
plays are very numerous. I will mention some good ones for that pur- 
pose: Mayflower, Mrs. Robinson, Nivens, The Queen, Mme. Phillippe 
Ri voire, Mrs. II. Weeks, Evangeline, are all good in white; Major 
Bonnaffon, Golden Wedding, Harry Ilurrell, H. L. Sunderbruch, Phil- 
adelphia, Georgienne Brainball, and Modesto are good yellows, as also 
are Georgiana Pitcher and Eugene Dailledouze. In pink, Mme. Felix 
Perrin, Mrs. S. T. Murdock, President Smith, Lady Playfair, and 
Vi viand Morel, C. B. Wbitnall, Mrs. West, and L’Araethiste are good 
dark varieties. Casco is a finely colored flower, but too scarce yet. 
Mrs. Drexel, and G. W. Childs are good reds and wine color; also 
Cullingfordii when well done. For bronze, Col. Wm. B. Smith; Chito 
will also be a good one for that purpose. Autumn Glow is excellent, 
so also is Mongolian Prince. Mrs. Murdock is superior to Mad. Felix 
Perrin, as much so as Mrs. Weeks is an improvement on Mayflower. 
Modesto is the standard yellow. Old Homestead and Portia make nice 
pot plants grown bush form. For odd and fancy varieties, L’Emindra, 
La Garonne, Mt. St. Eynard, and Mad. Edw. Andre are much admired. 
Mrs. M. Carbon, Belle of Pacific, and Rachais are worthy additions to 
the Ostrich Plume class. 
Chrysanthemum Culture. 
In my Catalogue last season I published Twenty-Four Command- 
ments, giving a few brief points in cultural details that has been favora- 
bly received by friends and customers, judging from the large demand 
for catalogues that exhausted the supply before the planting season was 
over. This season I intend to go more fully into details, beginning 
with the A, B, C of culture, so to speak, and following on with plain, 
simple instructions, so that they may be fully understood. This will 
occupy more space than I can spare in this Catalogue, and for this 
reason I will issue it in pamphlet form and will be sent 
FREE OF CHARGE 
to every purchaser of plants. The pamphlet is under preparation now, 
and will he ready soon after this Catalogue is received.
