TOTTY’S CHRYSANTHEMUMS, MADISON, NEW JERSEY 31 
SINGLE CHRYSANTHEMUMS—Cona'nuec/ 
EXCELSIOR 
A gorgeous variety. Wiien first opening almost a 
scarlet, vvhicii altervvard changes to bronze and 
flame color. One ol the very largest and most at¬ 
tractive singles ever introduced. 
GOLDEN MENSA 
The parent of tliis variety, Mensa, is probably the 
finest Single that has ever been raised. It is of a 
wonderful size, with enough pctalagc to enable it 
to be shipped thousands of miles and come out of 
the box in perfect condition. In Golden Mensa we 
have a yellow sport of the same, identical with Mensa 
in every way except color, which is a bright, golden 
yellow. 
GLORIANNA 
Bronzy amber with pink shadings. Plant is an 
excellent grower with perfectly stiff, erect stems. 
Free flowering. A most desirable all-round variety. 
Awarded a Certilicate by the Chrysanthemum So¬ 
ciety of America.

HELIOS 
Chestnut-scarlet, occasionally flecked with 
yellow at the tips. The individual petals twist 
back making the flowers look as though the 
petals were quilled. F\)liagc and stem partic¬ 
ularly pleasing. Wiien planted within the 
garden where it can be associated with Autumn 
foliage at blooming time it is most attractive. 
IDA CATHERINE SKIFF 
Most quickly described as a greatly im¬ 
proved '^'vonne; color is a brilliant bronzy 
umber, flowers large and well placed on the 
stem, needing no disbudding owing to the 
length of the foot stalk; an invaluable variety 
lor cut flower work. 
JOSEPHINE SCHOLTMAN 
Pale lilac in color with white zone around the 
immediate center of the flower. This variety 
was well shown at the Cleveland exiiibition. 
where it was much admired, on account of 
its delicate shadings. 
Late variety, growing considerably taller than the 
average Single; splendid for Thanksgiving and later. 
Color, lovely combination of orange gold, changing 
to bronzy scarlet. Created more favorable comment 
than any otlier variety in our exhibition house this 
Fall. 
H. MARIE TOTTY 
We consider this the finest Single we have ever 
had the pleasure of introducing; the flowers are a 
little late for the first shows, but are in perfect con¬ 
dition by November loth, and keep sj^lendldly from 
then until Thanksgiving. Color is a brilliant crim¬ 
son, with scarlet shadings near the center of 
the flower; center is bright green and the 
flower has a bright zone of yellow near the disc 
around tiie petals. 
DAINTY iScclPageJiO) 
Beauliiul pink; a very handsome variety.
