TOTTY’S ’MUMS, MADISON, NEW JERSEY 
E 
□ 
CRANFORDIA DEBUTANTE 
Early Flowering Chrysanthemums 
These varieties have firmly established themselves in popular favor, and our gardens have been visited 
by thousands of people during the season just past, making notes of the different varieties. 
The cultivation of these ’Mums is simple: Plant them in a rich, well drained piece of ground, setting 
out the plants a foot apart and pinching them once or twice during the months of May or June. They 
will branch out and make beautiful bushes and give the cultivator more return for the labor expended than 
any plant in the garden. There is a place for this type of ’Mum in every garden in America, whether one 
has greenhouses or frames or not. Some growers who have grown these as pot plants have had great success 
with the same and can recommend them highly for that purpose. 
We will be pleased to answer any and all questions relative to these varieties. 
The following we can strongly recommend for cultivation in this country, as we have had them under 
test the past season and they gave us wonderful results: 
NONIN'S FRENCH NOVELTIES 
Price: 50c. per plant, $5.00 per doz. 
BILLANCOURT 
Wonderfully strong, vigorous grower; plant makes 
a perfect bush; color brilliant terra-cotta, shaded 
bronze. A splendid variety in every way. 
HORTENSE MALGAT 
Color a magnificent pink. In full flower October 
1st. One of the choicest varieties we have. Very 
productive. 
MARIE DUFOUR 
Dwarf grower; absolutely snow white in color. 
The showiest variety in the collection; makes an 
ideal pot plant. It would be hard to improve on 
this variety. 
MADAM DE L’ARGENTAYE 
Plant very healthy doer; medium to tall grower. 
Color beautiful shade of flesh pink, Hushed lavender. 
PAULINE ANDOUR 
Color pale yellow; fully developed with us this 
year September 20th, grown naturally. Best 
variety of its color (lowering at that time. 
PETITE JEAN 
On the style of Perle Chatillonaise, but comes 
into flower about a week later. Color pure white, 
with a light yellow center. 
WELLS' VARIETIES 
Price: 50c. each, $5.00 per doz. 
CRANFORDIA 
In this variety we have an early-flowering ’Mum 
that covers every possible point; perfect in flower 
and stem; foliage up to the flower and every plant 
will carry twelve to twenty beautifully finished 
flowers. We cannot too strongly recommend this 
variety to grow in large blocks for cutting, as we 
are positive it will fill all requirements. Color 
deep, bronzy yellow. 
DEBUTANTE 
A fitting companion to the above, and should 
be grown the same way. Pure white in color, 
perfect in shape, and if the plant is pinched 
July 1st will give quantities of snow-white flowers 
on stems amply long enough to use as a cut 
flower.
