GETTYSBURGH. 
This is a deep crimson variety and excels in its color as Gol¬ 
den Weddinc does in yellow. It originated as a “sport’’from 
“ Omar,” and has been on trial for two years. The outer petals 
are broad and drooping,and havealustroussheen in thesunlight. 
The form is flat with drooping outer petals, which gives it a very 
graceful appearance. This is the popular form, and, combined 
with the splendid color, stamps Oettyshurah asa Chrysanthemum 
of rare merit. Price, 25c. each, $2.25 per doz. 
SI’KCIAI, OFFER.—As an inducement to our customers to 
procure these grand varieties, we combine the three in one coll, 
for the low price of 50c. for three plants. 
GOOD GRACIOUS. 
Another introduction from Japan, and so remarkable for size 
as to suggest its name; the first sight of it usually brings forth 
an exclamation of admiration. The color also is unique, being a 
delicate shade of peach pink thoroughout. The form is remark¬ 
able, the petals are incurved and twisted, overlapping each other 
in irregular fashion, and resembling talons. Or all the splendid 
varieties introduced from Japan this is perhaps the most remark¬ 
able for size, form and color, and stands alone in its unique 
beauty, there being nothing at all approaching it. Price, 25c. 
each, $2.25 per doz. 
FLOWER HALF NATURAL SIZE. 
Mrs. Alplieus Hardy. Purest white and exception¬ 
ally large and well formed when properly grown. 
The blooms of this variety which took first prize at 
Madison Square Garden, New York, were a revela¬ 
tion. 
Fouis Boelimer. This is identical in its strange and 
beautiful formation with the above variety, but its 
color is an exquisite shade of silvery pink, ivith deep 
rose on the inside of the petals; it is of vigorous 
constitution, being one or the strongest growing 
varieties we nave, so that it is certain to produce 
perfect flowers under the most ordinary cultivation. 
Patrick Parry, a pure yellow “Ostrich Plume” 
variety and fit to rank with the others in this section. 
Miss Annie Manila, Pure white, strong, short-joint¬ 
ed stems and good foliage, lull double flowers. A 
very at tractive variety. 
Wm. Falconer. This grand variety is a “sport” 
from “Louis Boelimer,” and it partakes of all the 
good qualties found in that excellent variety. The 
color is an exquisite shade of rosy blush, changing 
to a delicate flesh pink as the flowers advance in age. 
The delicacy of tinting is without a parallel in any 
class of flowers within our knowledge. The soft, 
feathery growth peculiar to the “ Ostrich Plume 99 
class is even more pronounced than in any of its 
predecessors, and in this variety it has an additional 
charm. The flowers are of the largest size, and am 
borne on strong vigorous stalks. The growth of 
the plant is all that could be desired. (See cut.) 
Price, for any of the above, 25c. each; set of five 
“Ostrich Plume” varieties for $1.00.
