TOTTY’S ’MUMS, MADISON, N. J. 
STANDARD VARIETIES—Continued 
William Turner. This variety has created a 
sensation as exhibited at the shows. Makes a 
perfect ball of the purest possible white and as 
such will displace Merza and all others of that 
character on the exhibition table. Time will 
prove this variety to become one of our best 
standard commercial kinds also. 
W. Mease. A bright, rosy red; dwarf, handsome 
grower. Crown bud from August 15th onward. 
Wells’ Late Pink. One of the finest things sent 
out in its color in many years, (lowering from 
November 10th onward. Crown bud after 
August 25 th. 
W. H. Chadwick. A grand variety for late com¬ 
mercial work, coming in from November 15Lli to 
Christmas. White, shaded with blush. Take 
terminal buds. 
White Gloria. Pure white; like Gloria in every 
respect. 
Yellow Eaton. Too well known to need descrip¬ 
tion. 
Yellow Miller. A yellow sport of the bronze 
Mrs. J. A. Miller. One of the largest flowers 
we have and a variety which any commercial 
grower can make good money with. It is also 
a splendid thing on the exhibition table. 
Yellow October Frost. A yellow sport of the 
well-known October Frost. Comes a much 
better color than yellow sports generally do. 
This will be particularly valuable to the com¬ 
mercial grower who wants a yellow companion 
for his October Frost,. 
Early Flowering Chrysanthemums 
These beautiful Chrysanthemums are taking the place of Hardy Pompons and all other kinds that have 
been previously grown for outdoors. In our section, New Jersey, they are entirely hardy, needing only 
just a little dry leaves or straw to keep the sun from injuring the crowns in Winter. 
We have entered into a contract with Mr. Aug. Nonin of Paris, France (who has done more for the 
improvement of this type of plant than any other cultivator, and to whom we are indebted for all the best 
varieties in cultivation today), whereby we will test out all of his French varieties and distribute same to 
the American trade, but only just such kinds as are entirely early enough to flower in September or early 
October, so that customers may be sure of getting the full value of their plants. 
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. See pictures on front 
cover. 
NOVELTIES IN EARLY FLOWERING ’MUMS 
Prices: 50c. each, $5.00 per dozen, $35.00 per 100. 
A. BARHAM 
A beautiful orange bronze and tbe first variety 
of this color to come into flower. Was wonderfully 
popular in the New York market during the past 
Fall. Shows up wonderfully well under light when 
used as a decoration. Certificated at Madison, Oct. 8. 
CRANFORD YELLOW 
A beautiful shade of deep, canary yellow. This 
variety if disbudded will make llowers fully equal 
to any midseason variety. Certificated at Madison, 
Oct. 8. Can be run ten and twelve shoots to a 
plant and if disbudded one flower to a shoot will 
give splendid satisfaction to anyone looking for 
large flowers early in the season. 
DR. A. NEIGE 
Brilliant carmine with line, heavy foliage and a 
splendid grower. 
CRANFORD PINK 
Like the foregoing. Not exactly a new seedling, 
but its merits and culture have never before been 
thoroughly understood. The color is a most ex¬ 
quisite shade of shell pink. When cut in long 
sprays that have never been disbudded it is a 
beauLiful sight, and when grown under glass and 
disbudded as recommended for Cranford Yellow, 
there is nothing in sight at that season of the year 
to compete with it. Certificated at Madison, Oct. 8. 
DOROTHY 
Snow white. The most vigorous of all the early 
whites. Makes the most beautiful sprays and if 
disbudded and numerous shoots left on the plant 
they will finish every flower with a perfectly still 
stem.
