Every general florist, as well as those who grow 
for exhibition, should try a set of the following 
odd varieties; they are extremely curious and pretty, 
and Crimson Tangle, King of Plumes, Miss Harvey 
and White Jitsu-jetui are fancy novelties of unusual 
merit in the cut flower trade. $10 per 100. 
Alice Carter — Late; bronze tipped with gold. 
Cheveaux d’ Or— Golden yellow; like a fine dan¬ 
delion. 
Crimson Tangle— Quite unique; the florets are 
not thicker than a heavy thread, and yet the upper 
surface is velvety crimson and the under side bright 
gold; the florets are long and twisted, and the cut 
sprays make a beautiful, dainty spread of gorgeous 
color; the blooms are 2 to 2 y 2 inches in diameter. 
Elegans— Large blush white single; florets nar¬ 
row and 2 to 3 inches long. A freak. 
Houppe Fleurie— An oddity in red and yellow. 
Early. 
King of Plumes— Grand for cutting in bunches. 
Golden yellow, of shining texture, very full and 
double, petals shortening towards center, and each 
petal deeply notched; exquisitely beautiful; one of 
the most useful. 
Miss Harvey— -This is a little beauty, producing 
beautiful sprays like very fine lace; color white, del¬ 
icately tinted pink; it is frilled and notched until 
it seems transparent. 
Mignonnette— A lovely yellow, frilled and notched 
until it looks light enough to blow away; a pretty 
oddity. 
White Jitsu-jetui— Purest white; has wonder¬ 
ful substance, petals thick and heavy and rolled like 
cords, with tightly incurved center. Don’t disbud; 
very late; the general florist will find this one of 
the most useful varieties with which to close the 
season, as it can be used in innumerable ways and 
always pleases. Our photograph, unfortunately,was 
not taken until the flowers were overdone. 
For Cutting 1 in Sprays 
We tested some 100 sorts, early varieties, includ¬ 
ing all of M. Nonin’s sorts; only a few gave satisfac¬ 
tory results under our culture; none of them come 
very early as in France and England; the follow¬ 
ing are a few sorts that produced finely-formed, 
clear-colored flowers in full sprays by October 20.
