BENTEN 
AMATERASU 
The Sensational Set from Tokio 
Extracts from “Mythological Japan” 
“If it is to be an honor to merit the favor of Royalty, then the noble Chrysanthemum 
is indeed satiated with honor—for is it not the Emperor’s flower, preferred above all 
others? Symbolizing a gentle disposition, happiness, virtue and repose and associated 
with longevity because of the extraordinary life of its bloom, it is naturally held in high 
esteem by all classes, particularly as the sixteen petalled variety forms the imperial 
crest of Japan.” 
Some years ago we imported from Japan a large collection of novel types, most of 
which died en route, but we offer the following half dozen as being entirely new in char¬ 
acter. People passing through our greenhouses this fall could hardly believe they were 
actual flowers so different are they from the 
ordinary Chrysanthemum. 
Price: 50c. per plant, $5.00 per doz.,

“BENTEN” 
(Goddess of Beauty) 
Quilled petals standing straight out from 
the center; color green gold at center with 
blood red tips; no Chrysanthemum intro¬ 
duced to date has the peculiar shadings 
found in “Benten.” 
“AMATERASU” 
(The Sun Goddess) 
Heavy-quilled petals which follow no 
set design but twist and curl like a very 
informal cactus Dahlia. Color is yellow 
as the name implies.
