tion purposes. 
Mary Waterer. This variety opens up a 
new class in Chrysanthemums. In des- 
cribing it we must make use of a new 
word, “ recurved,” for as (Irandiflorum 
forms a ball by incurving, so does this 
form a perfect ball by recurving back to 
the stem, Flowers of a delicate rose 
shade, of immense size, very attractive, 
durable and very double: is of short but 
very healthy growth, and lias good stiff 
stems, is exceedingly free (lowering and 
make the handsomest of pot plants. 
M. P. Mills. This variety stands alone as 
being the latest and perhaps the largest 
of all Chrysanthemums yet in cultiva- 
tion. In shape it somewhat resembles a 
mushroom, and has very thick flowers 
of great substance : color an orange yel- 
low. sometimes faintly streaked with 
red : its enormous flowers are well borne 
up upon the strongest of stems. 
Mrs. Herbert A. Pennock. This is per- 
haps the greatest novelty of the times in 
new Chrysanthemums; is exactly simi- 
lar in habit ami shape to the well known 
Violet Rose, the flowers, however, are 
somewhat larger and of a beautiful or- 
ange yellow color : it has very strong 
stems, bearing its enormous flowers per- 
fectly erect: it.is valuable for specimen 
blooms, and is perhaps the strongest 
ever offered for that purpose. 
Eldorado. A most lovely incurved deep 
yellow, possibly (lie most intense of all 
yellows, of dwarf, sturdy habit, with a 
strong flower stem, lasting a longtime 
in flower, .and. an excellent shipper: it 
may bo said this is the earliest and best 
early large incurved variety yet in culti- 
vation, and a variety that will force 
itself into favor with all growers of spec- 
imen flowers, whether for exhibition or 
market purposes.
