SINGLE CHRYSANTHEMUMS —Continued 
EXCELSIOR. A gorgeous variety. When first 
opening almost a scarlet, which afterward changes 
to bronze and flame color. One of the very largest 
and most attractive singles ever introduced. 
ELSA. Snow white, with a lovely golden-yellow 
center, making a lovely plant when grown in sprays. 
ERNEST WESTLAKE. Growth very sturdy 
and robust; foliage right up to the flower; footstalk 
particularly stiff; color lovely shade of light pink. 
This variety will make a wonderful pot plant and is 
one of the showiest in the collection. The petalage 
is very odd, being fimbriated at the ends. 
GLADYS DUCKHAM. One of the largest whites. 
Certificated by the C. S. A. at Philadelphia and 
Boston. 
GRACE DARLING. Beautiful white. Should 
not be disbudded. Makes beautiful sprays for 
cutting. 
GOLDEN MENSA. The parent of this variety, 
Mensa, is probably the finest single that has ever 
been raised. It is of a wonderful size, with enough 
petalage 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. 
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 condition by November ioth, and keep 
splendidly from then until Thanksgiving. Color is 
a brilliant crimson, 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 the petals. 
IVOR GRANT. A splendid rose pink, single, 
with a white zone around the brilliant yellow center. 
A very valuable addition to the many wonderful 
pinks already in cultivation. 
ROSE WALKER 0 See page 34) 
MISS RUTH S. BERGEN (See page 34) 
IRENE. Deep lavender, with bright white zone, 
round center; carries three rows of petals. The 
first in its color to open with us this year, being ready 
to cut October ist. 
JOAN.EDWARDS. Beautiful pink; a very hand¬ 
some variety. 
JOSEPHINE. In this variety we have a splendid 
single. Yellow in color; flower is heavy in texture, 
foot-stalk perfectly stiff and when disbudded will 
produce flowers about six inches across. This is a 
variety every grower should handle. Certificated 
by C. S. A. 
LOUISE. This flower is an exquisite shade of 
light salmon pink with yellow shadings; a distinct 
and lovely color; blooms profusely outdoors by 
October ist, and still in splendid shape six weeks af¬ 
terward. 
MRS. LOU THOMPSON. Primrose-colored 
sport from Mensa. Must not be confused with 
Golden Mensa, which is considerably deeper in color. 
MENSA. Purest white. This is a splendid 
variety. Certificated by C. S. A. 
MRS. W. A. HIGGS. White, flushed pink; very 
large, handsome variety. 
MRS. ALBERT PHILLIPS. Deep lavender in 
color, one of the earliest of the Singles to develop 
this year; fully open October 5th, when first opening 
the contrasting color is a lovely cream, charming 
and beautiful. 
“MILLICENT PIPER.” Most quickly de¬ 
scribed as an earlier Mensa, coming into bloom 10 
days before Mensa; equally as large and vigorous 
in habit, and not. so subject to disease as Mensa. 
This variety was in the market and sold before Men¬ 
sa was ready to ship, and proved itself a most profit¬ 
able sort.
