Sept. 15, has exceptional keeping qualities and is undoubtedly the best 
white variety to date.

fully 3 inches across, of perfect decorative or aster form and of excellent 
substance. Its color on opening is a lovely sparking pink, with a dark rose 
pink center. Plants are medium height, bushy, and very free. In full flower

branchy habit. The semi-double flowers are 2 inches in diameter. Pink on 
opening, shading to lavender when fully opened. Matures October 1.

ber.

color the first of October. Flowers 2V4 inches in diameter.

bloomer, coming into color October 1. Flowers 214 inches in diametei. 
Vivid. A very striking and effective variety, the color of which very 
closely approaches that of the American Beauty Rose, a rosy crimson or 
amaranth shade new to the earlier flowering Chrysanthemums. Flowering 
October 1st, it is extremely vigorous and very free. 
Francis Whittlesey. A very decided improvement in this particular coloi. 
Habit is stocky and dwarf, averaging 18 inches in height. Color, rich bronze 
and garnet—just right for the fall garden. It commences to flower in late 
September and makes a gorgeous showing through October, having the ability 
to resist considerable frost, in the open flowers.
