Rooted Cuttings: $ 3-00 per 100 , $ 23-00 per 1000 , except where noted 
GOLD LODE. This variety may be had in bloom by Oct. 1st by planting 
early in June. An easy grower and valuable for its earliness. 
Short , select bud Aug. 25, matures Oct. 1. 
CELESTRA. A good variety to follow Gold Lode, has medium sized, 
round flowers of golden yellow and good stem and foliage. 
Medium , terminal bud, matures Oct. 10 . 
GOLDEN OCTOBER. Another good yellow, flowering at the same time 
as Celestra with rich, golden yellow flowers. Its value as an early yellow 
for shading has been somewhat exaggerated we think. 
Short , terminal bud, matures Oct. 10.

diameter, borne on very stiff, upright stems. After three years trials, 
we recommend this variety as the best yellow for shading well as in

of Bonnaffon type with bright yellow flowers 8 inches across.

SMITH’S SUPERLATIVE. A remarkably intense yellow, brighter than 
Friendly Rival, globular, reflexed in form and 6^2 inches in diameter.

popular when better known. Medium , bud Aug. 25, matures Oct. 25-

yellow. Flowers 8 inches in diameter are carried on a strong, upright stem.

low. It gives solid, well-formed flowers which are excellent for shipping. 
Also good for shading. Short, bud Aug. 31, matures Oct. 25-

low ever produced, considering its size, color, stem and foliage. It is the 
brightest yellow in its season.
