X OFFERING these greatly improved varieties of Chrysanthemums, 
>ve take considerable pride in glancing over the list; lirst, because 
we know each one of them, and have seen their wondrous beauty 
while the plants were in bloom, and, secondly, because our customers 
may rest assured that in these new sorts there is a rich treat in store for 
them, in the way of new shades of color, and flowers that are of the largest 
size, most perfect and beautiful in form, and only those that have all the 
desirable features of a strictly first-class Chrysanthemum. 
There are also several grand additions to the superb OSTRICH PLUME 
type, which is now the most popular style of flower. 
The set of eight varieties form a beautiful collection. 
Charmer. Lavender-pink, reverse of 
petals a handsome shade of lilac, flow¬ 
ers large, perfectly formed and of great 
substance; very line. 
Delight. Bronze-red, tipped with old 
gold, flowers very large and beautifully 
incurved; plant a strong grower and early bloomer. 
Harry May. Flowers very large and double, form- 
• ing a massive sphere, color deep old gold, occasion¬ 
ally veined with red, petals broad and heavy; a 
beauty. 
Leonora. Yellowish bronze overcast with crimson, 
a beautiful and showy color; flowers well formed. 
Plant of strong, robust habit, and blooms abun¬ 
dantly. 
Mrs. E. D. Adams. This is the largest and most 
beautiful white Chrysanthemum in cultivation. 
Specimen blooms of this variety measured 18 inches 
from tip to tip. The petals are very long, of me¬ 
dium width, the outer ones swirled, as if the flower 
had been turned swiftly on its stem. A grand va¬ 
riety. 
Miss Annie Manda. This is another beautiful 
addition to the OSTRICH PLUME class. The flow¬ 
ers are of the purest white, fragrant, handsomely 
incurved, and each petal is covered with a long 
hair-like growth that adds greatly to the unique 
appearance of the flowers. The plant is a strong 
grower, and the blooms larger and more perfect 
in form than those of Mrs. Hardy. 
W. A. Manda (Synonym Patrick Barry). The new 
YELLOW OSTRICH PLUME, a grand yellow in¬ 
curved variety of the Ostrich Plume type, which for 
beautiful color and handsome form of its flowers, is entitled to first 
place in any collection of Chrysanthemums. A yellow variety of the 
Ostrich Plume class is a novelty that will be heralded with delight and 
will become more popular than its predecessors, Louis Boechmer und 
Mrs. Alpheus Hardy. 
Mrs. Wm.S. Kimball. A magnificent variety, producing flowers 
of immense size and beautiful form, with broad, stiff petals, that are 
of strong and lasting substance. The color is a delicate shade of 
blush, each petal having a light touch of yellow at the tip, which adds 
greatly to the beauty of the flower. 
Plants , each, 50 cents, or the set of 8 beautiful varieties for $8.00. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM SEED from show flowers, selected from 
our own collection. Price, 25 cents per packet.
