IDA CATHERINE SKIFF 
BEATRICE (Godfrey) 
Brilliant olcl-gold with lighter shadings 
in the center; one of the most popular 
varieties ever staged on the exhibition 
table. Foliage broad and glossy and stem 
very rigid. 
IDA CATHERINE SKIFF (Totty) 
Most quickly described as a greatly im¬ 
proved Yvonne; color is a brilliant bronzy 
amber, flowers large and well placed on the 
stem, needing no disbudding owing to the 
length of the footstalk; an invaluable 
variety for cut-flower work. 
LOUIS SPEARS (Godfrey) 
Brilliant chestnut-crimson; plant a very 
strong grower, needs to be disbudded as 
the flowers are rather closely placed on 
the stem. The individual petals have 
considerable texture and finish off to. a 
point. The flower is very easily carried 
by the strong stem. The foliage is ample 
and attractive. 
FERNRIDGE (Bergen) 
When first opening is practically a brill¬ 
iant-scarlet, which gradually fades to a 
terra-cotta. Light graceful growing var¬ 
iety and in color, one of the most attractive 
ever sent out, as a bright gold zone around 
the center makes a beautiful combination 
of scarlet and gold, not often seen in a 
Chrysanthemum. 
JOSEPHINE SCHOLTMAN (Totty) 
Pale lilac in color with white zone around 
the immediate center of the flower. This' 
variety was well shown at the Cleveland 
exhibition, where it was much admired, on 
account of its delicate shadings. 
BERTHA FAIRS (Wells) 
Brilliant rose-pink; one of the earliest to 
come into flower with us, as it was fully open 
around the third of October. Valuable as 
a garden variety on account of its early sea¬ 
son of blooming. Color most exquisite.
