Holly Bawn. Those acquainted with

its sport. Mollie Bawn; it is pure white, 
having been grown two years, which 
The Pink Ostrich Plume 
shows its colors to be fixed ; a most val- 
uable variety, for its size, shape and

eter: petals convex, rounded do^-n wards

Chrysanthemum, “ TOUIS 
y y 
BOJEHMBR 
This is one of the strongest growing Chrysanthemums we have. 
Its flowers are enormous, being nearly double the size of Mrs. 
ITardy, and it is absolutely free from any taint or blight, so that it 
is certain to succeed under the most ordinary care. It has the same 
wonderful hair-like growth or excrescences that appeared for the 
first time in the white variety, Mrs. Alpheus Hardy, hut it differs 
from it in color, being a most beautiful shade of lavender pink, 
shaded with silvery pink on the ends of the petals. The flowers 
are splendidly incurved; the inside of the petals are deep rose, so 
that the contrast between their inner and outer surfaces is very 
decided, and adds greatly to the appearance of the flowers. Price 
60 cents each.

C. W. DePauw. This was produced by 
the raiser of Widener: it is a very double 
sort, having long petals arranged inmost 
perfect form : the color is a soft pearl- 
pink, with touches of light lavender; it 
nets the appearance of a soft, Huffy pink 
ball of great size: will rank with any of 
the very finest varieties. 
Rimer D. Smith. In the hands of our 
"crack growers” we believe that this 
variety can be made to outrank all others 
in the size of its diameter and the num- 
ber of its petals ; the foliage is very large 
and heavy, and dark green : the color is 
cardinal red, of a very rich and pleasing 
shade, faced upon the back of the petals 
with clear chamois; comes nearer being 
a scarlet maroon than any of the Wheeler 
type yet sent out: the (lower attains a 
great size even under the most ordinary 
treatment. 
Emily Dorner. This is a rather dwarf 
grower, hut very sturdy: the flower is 
nicely incurved, petals broad, and of the 
richest shade ot orange yellow, touched 
with crimson ; received first-class certifi- 
cate at Indianapolis, Ind.. in 1889: color 
extremely rich ; a Source d’Or in incurv- 
ing form. 
Flora Hill. What Widener is among 
yellows. Flora Hill is among whites; the 
finish of the flower is exquisite: it is ol 
splendid size and heavy texture : outer 
petals horizontal or slightly recurving: 
the creamy centre is perfectly full and 
incurved ; it is a good, clean grower with 
line constitution : one of the most beau- 
tiful forms and most perfect whites in 
the whole Chrysanthemum family. 
Frank Thompson. A splendid flower, 
very nearly spherical in form: petals 
very broad and heavy, and finely incurv-
