NORTHPORT (Cockcroft)- —This variety should be the leader in dark pink. It is 
wonderfully free, coming- into flower very quickly in the fall. The stem is . perfectly stiff 
and a vase of this variety on the show table is very hard to beat. Northport has won 
some twelve certificates this fall and in the recent show in Cleveland secured first for "25 
dark pink” and first for “50 dark pink,” and also won the sweepstakes in every section. 
We recommend this variety with every confidence. 
COMMODORE (Hill) —The scarlet that will eventually take the place of Beacon, since 
it very seldom splits. This variety is a seedling from Victory, almost identical in color, 
but is very free and continuous in bloom and the habit is altogether better than Victory. 
So far it has shown no sign of rust with us and we believe Commodore will rank as one 
of the leading scarlets. 
ENCHANTRESS SUPREME (Dailledouze) —A sort of Enchantress somewhat deeper 
in color which never fades and does not split, as the calyx is longer and narrower than 
that of the parent variety. 
SALMON BEAUTY (Abrams) —Almost identical in every way with Enchantress 
Supreme, except possibly the color is a shade deeper. Both of these varieties will displace 
the parent variety to a great extent. 
WM. ECCLES (Scott) —The color of Flamingo, strong, rigid stem, perfectly formed, 
3%-inch flower, non-bursting calyx. Very fragrant and a good keeper. 
THE HERALD (Chicago Carnation Co.) —A free and continuous bloomer, producing 
large, very full, 3 to 3%-inch flowers on long, strong stems, non-bursting. The color is 
a grand bright scarlet that does not fade. Habit is ideal, and very floriferous. 
Novelties in Chrysanthemums 
The Wells-Pockett-Totty Novelties for 1913 
Each of the following nine varieties, $2.00 each; $20.00 per dozen. 
MISS HAZEL DE FOREST —A buff terra-cotta on early crowns, but the late crowns 
show splendid flowers of wine red perfect in shape. Take bud not earlier than August 25. 
MRS. D. F. ROY —A beautiful incurving mahogany red; foliage well up the stem and 
the latter is absolutely stiff. Any bud. Medium height. 
MISS CLARA BANGHART —Most quickly described as an improved Mrs. R. Lux- 
ford. The color is warm chestnut; foliage right up to the flower and the plant is 
strong grower. 
MRS. G. LLOYD WIGG —Light yellow. Foliage right up to the flower. Any bud after 
August 10. Height, 5 feet. 
GERTRUDE PEERS —A duplicate in many ways of Pockett’s Crimson, save that the 
golden reverse never shows and every bud throws a perfect flower. Crown bud August 6. 
MRS. G. W. C. DREXEL —Incurving pink, same color as Lady Hopetoun, but the 
stem is very rigid and produces equally as large a flower. Crown bud August 10 and later. 
MRS. W. HOOKEY —Lemon yellow with buff shadings. Very strong grower and easy 
doer. Large, handsome flowers that will be in request for the early exhibitions. 
MRS. C. J. VERT— Chestnut scarlet; very large flower and one that will make a name 
for itself. 
MRS. W. E. TRICKER —Lovely flower of the Enchantress shade of pink; petals 
have just enough curl to produce a beautiful effect. This variety was the most admired 
of the whole set by the ladies this year.
