ALASKA 
The whole plant, roots, stems, leaves, buds and flowers are gigantic, but compact and graceful in every 
respect. 
The marvelous combination of size, grace, glistening whiteness, abundance and general effectiveness of 
the flowers, which are borne on long, clean, strong stems will place it at once far ahead of all others of its class. 
Under the ordinary field cultivation given Chrysanthemums, the flowers average four and a half to five 
inches across on stems two to three feet long with thirty-eight to forty-two wide petals, and a very small disc, 
and with proper disbudding are produced perpetually, though more abundantly at the usual blooming season.

CALIFORNIA 
Another giant in growth and in most respects similar to “ Alaska ”, but the buds and half-opened flowers 
are of a most pleasing clear pale lemon yellow with two rows of petals. When a day or two old these gradually 
change to pure white. The combination is exceedingly pleasing. The flowers everage four to five inches 
across, and with ordinary care and culture are produced perpetually. The common varieties of Chrysan¬ 
themum maxima are as weeds when compared with these. (See page 7.)
