New Chrysanthemums 
for 1907 
There never has been greater interest in new 'mums than during the season just past, 
and never have we had so many inquiries in regard to them. In making our tests this year 
we have been especially fortunate in finding some grand sorts suited to our American trade, 
especially in commercial varieties. Mr. John Thorpe, summing up the Chicago show, in 
Horticulture, says: “Never in America has there been gathered together more magnificent 
chrysanthemums — and it's really no wonder, when all the giants made the fight — and then it 
was the East against the West, or vice versa. * * * It’s not necessary to name the winners, 
nor all the flowers, but only the names of the new or scarce varieties — a good new one al¬ 
ways displaces an old one.” He then names the noteworthy novelties displayed, of which 
18 sorts were imported and tested by our firm exclusively. 
The Pittsburg and Allegheny Florists Club, November 6, reports in Tlic American 
Florist as follows: 
Prominent among all stood a group of new varieties, magnificent blossoms, from the E. G. Hill 
Co., Richmond, Ind. So strikingly fine were these that a special committee was appointed to report on 
them, John W. Jones, the president of the club, being chairman, and the other members of it P. S. 
Randolph, Robt. Chive and Wm. Falconer. 
Grandest of all the blooms was Mme. Armand Detroyat, a clear pale pink, lights up beautifully 
at night, and very large. Mr. Randolph declared it is the finest pink chrysanthemum he ever saw. 
Others were: Mme. L. Roussel, incurved golden bronze, very large and full; one of the finest of 
its color. 
M. Pechou, golden yellow, full open flower; good for private growers. 
Mrs. Geo. Beach, incurved golden yellow, very full and fine, reminding one of Bonnaffon. 
M. George Traffaut, clear yellow, incurved, very full; very fine commercial or otherwise; paler 
in color, but style of Bonnaffon. 
Marie Viullermet, clear pure white, somewhat flat, suggestive of Silver Wedding, but larger. 
Dubuisson-Foubert, warm yellow, very large, very full of petals, suggestive of Golden Wedding, 
but paler. 
Mile. Suzanne Gauthier, pure white, refiexed narrow petals, but globular-shaped head, later than 
the others. 
On Seedling Day at the Chicago show, we won every premium offered, as follows: 
Seedling, white — Miss Roosevelt. 
Seedling, light yellow — Dubuisson-Foubert. 
Seedling, light pink — Mme. Armand Detroyat. 
Seedling, deep pink—Mile. E. Chabanne. 
Seedling, any other color — Incandescence. 
Seedling, sweepstakes—Mile. E. Chabanne. 
Later these were entered for certificates before the C. S. A., and all were so awarded 
so that our firm received the following certificates from October 1 to December 1, on 
Dubuisson-Foubert.
