BOUTONNIERE, ESTHETIC, AND SPIDERY 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
Where refinement in decorations are desired these will now take the place of the Pompon and 
single-flowered varieties, and will undoubtedly occupy a position in Chrysanthemums similar to the 
Cactus-shaped kinds in Dahlias, which have gained such well-merited popularity throughout the 
world. It is our full conviction that these light, graceful, and yet fantastic shaped Chrysanthemums 
will attain a prominent position in even a much shorter time, and owing to their lasting properties 
when cut. which is a great advantage, they will be eagerly sought after and used by every lady 
who admires something neat and nice for the decoration of the table. For buttonholes and sprays 
they are even a worthy rival to the Orchid, both in appearance and keeping qualities; no garden or 
greenhouse ought 10 be without them. See opinions of the gardening papers and the Press. 
CENTAUREA—Deep orange yellow; quite distinct. 
MRS. R. FILKINS, syn. Misujitwifs —Of Japanese form, medium-sized flowers with 
twisted florets, being split or forked at the ends into four or five points; very free flowering, clear 
bright yellow. Award of Merit. K.1I.S. 
SILK TWIST—Of a rosy-mauve and cream shade, full double flowers; pretty. 
2s. 6c/. each. 
SOUV. DE MADAME G. EYNARD-A decorative Japanese variety; a most wonderful 
arrangement of colours, reddish chestnut, distinctly tipped golden yellow; the tip of each petal is 
twisted: very attractive and novel. 2.s\ 
NEW SINGLE CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
MISS ANNIE HOLDEN (YELLOW M4RY ANDERSON)—The much admired 
blush-white variety sent out by us several years ago, being so beautiful and perfect in formation, 
left nothing to he desired, and all lovers of this class speak and write of it as being the very best of 
its kind. The above new variety we now have the pleasure of introducing is a spoic, and in every 
way identical, except in colour, which is of a lovely canary-vellow. and it will thus readily be seen 
what a gem this w ill prove to be to all who delight in home decoration. 8 s. G</. each. 
THE ECHO—The single varieties have been much neglected during the past few years, they 
arc certainly deserving of more general notice and cultivation. The variety named Miss Rose . sent 
out by us several years ago, is constantly being mentioned in the gardening papers as a most useful 
and necessary kind for the conservatory, owing to it forming into such beautifully shaped specimens, 
and well covered with flowers. The novelty we now* offer is equally as effective, but producing 
flowers of a distinct shade of terra cotta; medium-size flowers; dwarf, bushy habit. 2s. each.

Kentish While will give much disappointment if it fails_to make one of the freest and best 
of the white Incurved Japanese. 
Extract from THE GARDENER S MAGAZINE, November ’ y 24th. 1894. 
Spiders Chrysanthemums.— At the Meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society on the 
13th inst , Messrs. H. Cannell & Sons submitted three Chrysanthemums which by reason of their 
distinct character and elegant appearance attracted much attention, and were regarded with 
considerable favour by the Royal Committee. The three varieties arc most useful additions to 
the type with spidery blooms of which Carter was the forerunner, and, like that var iety, of 
considerable value for button-boles, hand bouquets, and decorative purposes generally that 
require small light flowers.
