ORANGE QUEEN—One of the most beautiful Chrysanthemums from the 
standpoint of color which is a burnt orange. Formerly this variety has been 
inclined to wilt after cutting but our blooms this year at the Chrysanthemum 
Society Show surpassed any of our large flowering varieties in this respect. Plants 
should be propagated in February and March to secure long stems as the plant is 
very short jointed. Select bud September first to tenth. Flowers nine inches in 
diameter mature November first.

mediate between that of Vermont and Mrs. J. Leslie Davis. Select bud as near 
August 20 as possible. Growth tall like Vermont.

to the best in size and of the easiest possible culture. Color, old rose. Outer 
petals are irregularly reflexed while center ones incurve. This variety is also 
valuable as a commercial where large blooms are required. Tall. Select bud 
September 10. Matures November 1.
