EVERGREEN LODGE. 
The flowers are of massive size, reflexed, with broad, stiff petals: color deep, rich, 
velvety crimson, with no shade of brown or chestnut. Flowers borne on strong, 
stiff stems. The foliage resembles Cullinufordii, but is much heavier and darker. 
They grow close up to the flowers, which gives the plant an elegant appearance. 
It is a fine, strong, clear grower. It was exhited at Indianapolis this year over 
eight inches in diameter. No Chrysanthemum can compare with it for color, size 
of flower and growth. Price .15 cents each. 
Winnie Davis. 
This new seedilng was raised by us here and was exhibited by us during our 
display in Nashville, where it was named by the ladies in charge in honor of Miss 
Winnie Davis, the daughter of the Confederacy. It is a vigorous grower and free 
bloomer: has large spreading blossoms when disbudded. The petals are tubular 
in form, pure white at the base, and deepening to a rich lavender towards the ends. 
When fully matured the color of the bloom very nearly resembles the true Con- 
federate grey. Nice strong plants, 25 cents each. 
W. A. Manda. 
"The new Golden Yellow Hairy Chrysanthemum." Flower very large, of a 
clear golden yellow color: the plant is vigorous in growth and the flower is borne 
upright on a stout, stem: this is the grandest introduction from Japan made dur- 
ing the past year, and no collection can afford to be without this variety. Price 25 
cents each. 
Niveus. 
A grand snow white variety; centre irregularly incurving, with outer petals 
reflexing nearly to the stem. Constitution robust: foliage large and abundant, 
while the keeping qualities of the flowers are unsurpassed. Without doubt the 
best seedling of the year. Winner of the gold medal and $100 at Cincinnati : the 
Pcriain & Thorpe Special Prizes at Chicago. Also $25 at Indianapolis, and the 
same at Ilay City, as the best seedling, any color, for 1802. Also Certificate at 
Springfield. John Thorpe says: "Niveus, I predict, will not he deposed for eight 
years, as it has in its composition nearly everything that at this day leads me to 
believe is nearly perfection: its snowy whiteness is beyond cavil, its elegant shape 
is such as to please the most fastidious, its size is far above the average without the 
slightest approach to coarseness, its footstalks are strong and graceful, its foliage 
is perfect, in other words it is a gem.” Price $1.00 each.
