CHR YSPOPCAN DESCRIPTION 
Ten years of careful cultivation has been necessary to bring 
this beautiful flower to its present high state of perfection. 
The word beautiful does not describe it. One must see it in 
bloom to really appreciate its rare beauty. The cut shown on 
the outside cover was made from an actual photograph and re¬ 
duced in size, but at best gives but an idea of the formation of 
some of the flowers. Your imagination would need to run 
riot to gain any idea of the colors and tints. 
The flower resembles in many ways the Chrysanthemum, 
Poppy, Carnation, and some have the shape of Dahlia, so it 
might be truly said that it is a combination of all these favorites

graceful stems and handsome green foilage forming an attrac¬ 
tive bush. Each plant yields from ten to fifteen large and full 
flowers. One plant last year yielded 27 perfect flowers. 
Most of the flowers are three to four inches in diameter. 
The petals are of imposing effect. Some are broad, resem¬ 
bling ruffled satin, while others are silky, curly and fringed. 
The formations are of great beauty, and it is impossible to 
give an accurate detailed description. Each flower has an 
attractiveness all its own.
