NIPHETOS 
NIPHETOS (Mid-October White)—A 
seedling from Smith’s Advance. Scored 
90 before the Chicago Committee on 
October 28th; could have been entered 
for examination on October 14th; 
this will make a fine large-flowered 
successor for Smith’s Advance, some¬ 
thing that has been badly needed as a 
commercial white: a strong, healthy 
grower, easy to do, a big round com¬ 
mercial, and profitable. Take the bud 
September 1st. 
$10.00 per hun. 
WHITTIER—Scored 90 before the 
Chicago Committee, and 89 before the 
Philadelphia Committee November 18. 
It is best described as a later Richmond; 
the two sorts are very similar save 
in foliage; they have the same golden 
yellow color; the same round com¬ 
mercial form, and the same satis¬ 
factory growth. A splendid late mid¬ 
season yellow, perfecting its blooms 
without trouble and with a negligible 
quantity of culls. Take the bud Sep¬ 
tember 1st. 
$10.00 per hundred. 
MISS ELIZABETH SMITH—Shown 
at Philadelphia November 8th and 
named for Mayor Smith’s little 
daughter. Round as an apple, much the 
color of a good orange- Quite full, an 
exquisite mid-season sort of this very 
popular shade. Has beautiful stem and 
foliage. Easy to do, compact and a 
good keeper. Take the bud September 
1st. 
$10.00 per hundred. 
Chrysanthemums—General List 
Price: $3.00 per Hundred, $25.00 per Thousand; except where noted. 
A. J. BALFOUR—Color, rose-pink; 
broad petals of great substance; noth¬ 
ing can touch it in color. Easy to do, 
but a slow propagator. Take bud, Sept. 
10th; Blooming date, Nov- 5th. 
$4.00 per Hundred 
ADVANCE (Smith’s)—This variety 
displaces every other of its date—first 
early; it has become indispensable in the 
cut-flower trade, and instead of deter¬ 
iorating, was finer this year than we 
have ever seen it previously. We are 
always glad to see it come, and sorry 
when it is past. Matures in late Sept¬ 
ember and continues through October. 
July 5 to 15, Sept., Oct.
