Mrs. W. K. Harris. Deepest rich golden yellow, 
thoroughly incurved; probably the best

better than that variety. It is certainly the 
finest yellow variety in cultivation for cut 
flowers or exhibition. 50 cts. 
Mrs. Alpheus Hardy. 1 he most sensational 
novelty was the beautiful Mrs. Alpheus 
Hardy. Words are inadequate to convey 
an idea of its beauty. The flowers are pure 
white, medium size, incurved Japanese, the 
centre slightly indented, the disc entirely 
hidden; on the upper surface of the floret 
petals is what at first sight appears hoar 
frost or snow, which gives it a chaste, deli- 
cate and fluffy appearance. A silver medal 
was awarded to the introducers of this grand 
Chrysanthemum at the Philadelphia show 
in November. There has been more written 
about, this variety than any yet introduced.
