GENERAL INFORMATION 
My plants are^pen-grown, and I personally select, label and pack each 
order. 
Shipments can be made earlier than the middle of April, but except 
for the very southern portion of the United States earlier shipments are not 
desirable. The latter half of April, all of May and the first half of June is the 
best time. 
Each order of plants will be dipped in a nicotine and rotenone spray 
mixture immediately prior to packing* which eliminates even the possibility 
cf any insect nest. 
Mimeographed cultural directions will be included in each package 
of plants shipped. 
Bud selection and blooming dates are for this locality and must be 
taken as approximations only; Further north they will be advanced, and de¬ 
layed as you go south. A variety will be matured and gone here by the time 
it is in bloom in New Orleans. 
Unusually hot weather in September and October will lighten the col¬ 
ors of most mums, and this should be borne in mind when ordering the early 
varieties. As an example last fall the old standard early pink ENCHANT¬ 
RESS was nearly white, due to unusually hot sun in October. Mid-season and 
later varieties are not affected. 
CHR YSA NT HEM VMS—Standard Varieties 
VERY LATE INTRODUCTIONS THAT WITH ME HAVE MADE GOOD. 
25 CENTS EACH—VERY LIMITED STOCK. 
MRS. HENRY R. REA—An incurved pure white with rather pointed petals 
that produced an 8-inch bloom with me; unusually large foliage right 
up to bloom, and strong stem. Best bud early in September; blooms 
October 25th. 
AMBASSADOR—Known as the “Early Turner” due to its very large size. 
A pure white of perfect incurved form, maturing an 8 inch bloom 
around the end of October from an early September bud. Undoubtdly 
one of the largest and best whites for October. 
SEMINOLE CHIEF—An exhibition chestnut bronze; reflex petals that are 
unusually long; very dependable for an exhibition; Has produced 9- 
inch blooms; Matures the end of October from a September 1st bud. 
GOLDEN TINTS—A very large 8 inch bloom of light yellow maturing mid¬ 
dle of October from an August 15-20 bud. Wonderful strong stem ana 
perfect foliage, but should be planted rather early to attain height 
bv blooming time. 
COLUMBUS DISPATCH —A very vigorous deep yellow variety that will at¬ 
tain. a height of 5 feet from June 1st planting, and mature an 8 inch 
bloom by the end of October; Best bud Sept. 1st. I consider this the 
best of the new early yellow varieties. 
GOLDEN MAJESTIC—A sport from the well-known variety MAJESTIC. It 
is a very bright yellow and has all the other qualities of its parent, 
medium dwarf growth, but an excellent exhibition; Large bloom ma¬ 
turing end of October from mid-August bud. 
EDGAR STILLMAN KELLY—An unusually dependable late pure white of 
real large size; foliage, stem and habit of growth almost perfect; in¬ 
curved glistening white bloom; September 20th bud matures bloom 
around middle of November. 
BRONZE GLADYS PEARSON—A dark bronze sport of the ever popular va¬ 
riety Gladys Pearson. There are several sports of Gladys Pearson, but 
this strain is a true bronze. It will produce an 8-inch bloom for Thanks¬ 
giving from mid-September bud.
