THE E. G. HILL COMPANY

New Chrysanthemums 
The past season has emphasized the care necessary in making out the planting list, and in 
balancing the colors carefully for early, medium and late. 
Plan your planting now, while the returns are vividly before you; we will be glad to book 
the order for you and see that you get freegrowing, young stock at the date you name. 
For a shipping trade plant the incurved varieties; they carry best. For a home, or store 
trade, have some of the fancy monsters, even if the demand for them is not large; they are fine 
advertisers; they talk well. Plant a few of the most substantial singles. 
Plant a lot of the best Pompons. 
For late plantings, don t forget to have some color in your collection, a touch of red or 
bronze or maroon "tones up” a bunch into a perfect picture.

MISS HAZEL DEFOREST 
A buff terra-cotta on early crowns but the late 
crowns show splendid flowers of wine red; perfect in 
shape. Take bud not earlier than August 25th for this 
variety. 
MRS. D. F. ROY 
A beautiful incurving mahogany-red; foliage well up 
the stem and the latter is absolutely stiff. A fine thing 
in its type and an easy variety to handle. Any bud. 
Medium height. 
MISS CLARA DALGHART 
Most quickly described as an improved “Mrs. R. 
Luxford.” The color is a warm chestnut; foliage right 
up to the flower and the plant is a strong grower. This 
variety shows excellent possibilities. 
MRS. G. LOYD WIGG 
Light yellow, one of the best varieties Mr. Pockctt 
has ever sent out; foliage right up to the flower and 
conforming in every respect to the ideal exhibition 
flower. Any bud after August 10th. Height 5 feet. 
GERTRUDE PEERS 
A duplicate in many ways of Pockett’s Crimson, 
save that the golden reverse never shows and every bud 
throws a perfect flower. This variety never burns and 
is one that every grower should have. Crown bud, 
August 6th. 
MRS. G. W. C. DREXEL 
Incurving pink, same color as Lady Hopetoun but 
the stem is very rigid, and produces equally as large a 
flower. This should be the leader in pink. Crown 
bud August 10th and later. (Stock of this variety 
limited.) 
$20 per dozen 
MRS. W. HOOKEY 
Lemon yellow with buff shadings. Very strong 
grower and easy doer. Large handsome flowers that 
will be in request for the early exhibitions. 
CHAS. BOOKER 
Lovely flower of the Enchantress shade of pink, 
petals have just enough curl to produce a beautiful 
effect. This variety was the most admired of the whole 
section by the ladies this year. Crown bud. 
C. J. VERT 
Chestnut-scarlet, very large flower and one that 
will make a name for itself.
