Chrysanthemum, Fabias de Maderanaz. 
T he interest awakened In the Chrysanthemum continues to grow, and has 
expanded far and wide, giving pleasure and delight to all. The ease 
with which it can be grown, and the success attending the few attempts 
at Exhibitions last Fall will insure a grand opening everywhere the 
coming Autumn. In the following list are embraced the cream of the late introduc¬ 
tions, and which should be in every collection. 
Price, 25 cents each; any six for $1.00, or the set of twelve for $2.00. 
Comte de Germiny.—Among all the Japanese varieties this is one of the most con¬ 
spicuous. Very large flowers and remarkably broad petals of a rich orange 
brown, reverse of petals silvery bronze. 
Eucharis.—A lovely and distinct variety, very difficult to describe. Outer petals 
broad and reliexed, of the purest white, the center deep yellow, with a corona¬ 
like circle formed above the general surface, which is a delicate creamy white, 
distinct and fine. 
Golden Kayonnante.—A charming yellow variety of most beautiful color, with 
large flowers borne in the greatest profusion, quite early. A plant of this grown 
as a standard, six feet in height with nearly three hundred flowers, was sold at 
auction to the Fifth Avenue Mikado Opera Company for one hundred and five 
dollars at the close of the great Chrysanthemum show in New York. 
Gloriosum.—Very light lemon, with Immense flowers, having narrow petals most 
gracefully curved and twisted, well merits its name, and is one of the most at¬ 
tractive varieties that we have ever grown. 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS-Continued. 
Julius Scharff.—On first opening very large, flat and smooth, of the richest violet 
amaranth, lasting a long time. 
Jeunle T. Murkland.—Most distinct, very large, having a fiat surface, from which 
project long tubular petals, rich golden yellow, shaded apricot and rose. A su¬ 
perb variety. 
Lady Selbourne.—A very large, pure white variety, of the greatest merit, and quite 
early in flowering. Remarkable for Its flaky and snowy-like whiteness. 
Mrs. Cleveland.—A pure white variety, with long tubular petals, flowers very large, 
like President Cleveland. It will be a general favorite. Awarded certificate of 
merit at the New York show, where it caused great admiration. 
Mrs. R. Brett.—A distinct variety, differing from all other varieties in its peculiar 
plume-like flowers and rich coloring of pure gold. A gem. 
Mrs. Frank Thompson.—This is the largest Japanese variety, the flowers measur¬ 
ing fully six inches in diameter, and is one of the most striking varieties ever 
offered. The petals are very broad, of great substance, and deeply incurved 
when fully open, but reflect as the flower grows old. Color creamy white, 
striped with rosy carmine. 
Nelly Bly.—Brilliant yellow, large flowers, which are plumed and tasseled. A 
beautiful variety, and one of the finest. 
Phoebus,—This is, without any exception, one of the finest yellow Chrysanthemums 
ever grown. The flowers are large and handsome. Too much cannot be said of 
this fine variety.
