THE E. G. HI LL C O M PA N Y 
Chrysanthemums 
Novelties for 1909 
“The “VVells-Pockett” set for this year is unprecedentedly fine; it lias been a very 
pleasant surprise as to stem and foliage, every variety except Mrs. Totty, having rigid 
stems, and all having foliage that is really ornamental. As to size, they are all mammoth 
blooms, and all are very easy doers. 50 cents per plant; $5 per dozen; $35 per 100, except 
where noted. 
The “ Wells=Pockett ” Set 
G. W. POOK. 
Lovely salmon bronze of bright shade; a fine 
grower, and a color that is valuable for commercial 
trade. A perfect example of the incurved globular 
form; one of the best of the set; fine for general 
purposes. Second crown, about August 25. 
FRANK PAYNE. 
Beautiful blush, with good stem and of excellent 
texture; very large and fine. Has been awarded 
certificates in three countries. 
POCKETT’S CRIMSON. 
A glorious reflexed of the largest size, the color 
of G. W. Childs, crimson and gold; unquestionably 
the finest thing in its color ever sent out. It did 
not burn and is a splendid keeper and shipper. The 
foliage and stem are ideal, and it has received four 
certificates and won the grand sweepstakes at the 
Chicago show, being placed first of all the new 
kinds exhibited in 14 classes. 75 cents each; $7.50 
per dozen; $60 per 100. 
CHARLES H. TOTTY. 
A chestnut scarlet, altogether a bigger and bet¬ 
ter thing than Mrs. J. E. Dunne. This is a record- 
breaker and will push to the front at once. The 
stem and foliage are perfect; no neck or bad buds. 
Certificated by the Chrysanthemum Society of 
America. Use August 25th or terminal about Sep¬ 
tember 10. 
MRS. C. H. TOTTY. 
Light pink, true reflexed, a beautiful, refined 
flower that appeals to every one. First or second 
bud about August 20. 
ROSE POCKETT. 
Chrome and old gold, of enormous spread, of 
the general type of Mary Inglis; fine for mossed 
boards. First bud about August 20. Later buds 
worthless. 
POCKETT’S SURPRISE. 
Bright crimson-scarlet and bronze, of enormous 
size, incurving, with stiff stem and shining foliage; 
very easy to do. 
Blooms of this variety brought $1 each in Chi¬ 
cago at Thanksgiving; lasts a month on the plant. 
Second Crown about August 28. 
MRS. L. THORN. 
Clear yellow, loosely arranged into an incurving 
globe. A fine grower; early mid-season. September 
first bud for finest form. 
LILLIAN COPPARD. 
Rosy bronze, very large; foliage fine, dwarf 
grower; one of the best things at the Chicago Show. 
MRS. O. H. KAHN. 
A beautiful bronze with mahogany shading that 
lights up beautifully. An absolutely reliable variety; 
comes fine on any bud and leaves nothing to be 
desired in its color. Won the “any other color 
classes ’ on both the exhibition and commercial 
scale in the seedling competition at Chicago, and 
has received five other certificates. 
W. R. BROCK. 
A fine late pink for Thanksgiving or later; foliage 
up to the flower, and stem perfect. There is no 
waste with this variety. Every plant produces a 
perfect flower. 
Certificate of C. S. A. Committees at Chicago 
and New York, and winner of the light seedling 
class at Chicago. 
From the French Growers 
L’ AFRICAINE. (Nonin.) 
A giant Wm. Seward, velvety crimson; 4^2 feet, 
full midseason. Won First Prize at the National 
Exhibition for best red in seedling class. Terminal 
bud.
