New Chrysanthemums 
for 1913. 
We offer below twelve of the finest new sorts 
shown at the leading exhibitions last Fall. 
They are all first class, Mrs. Gilbert Drable 
being the sensation of the year. 
Annie L. Angus. This variety is similar to 
the old Madam Carnot save that it is 
much stronger in growth and is not affected 
by disease. The flower is purest white and 
can be grown to the largest possible size. 
Crown bud Aug. 10th onward. 
Jennie. A white Japanese seedling between 
A. T. Miller X Wm. Duckham. It is a 
strong grower having a good stem and 
foliage. Flower is unusually solid which 
makes it a good shipper. The bud should 
not be taken earlier than Aug. 25th. 
(See cut.) Price 60c. each. 
Mrs. A. M. Henshaw. A beautiful large in¬ 
curving flower of purest white. One of the 
finest things of its color sent out in years. 
Crown bud about Aug. 10th. 
Mrs. Geo. W. Burke. A beautiful and showy 
bronzy yellow, good stem and foliage. A 
splendid variety for the earlier exhibitions. 
Mrs. Gilbert Drabble. A fine variety with 
stiff stem and good foliage right up to the 
flower, which is pure white of the largest 
size. The incurving petals are arranged in 
a whorl rendering the flower most attractive 
and pleasing. 
Mrs. H. Turner. An exceptionally deep bul 
striking crimson. Flowers of large size 
from buds taken Aug. 25th or later. 
Mrs. Peter Duff. The coior is old rose shad¬ 
ing to cerise giving a charming effect. 
Outer petals reflex; stem and foliage perfect. 
A grand sort for exhibiting in collection 
classes. 
Mrs. Robert D. Foote. A magnificent ma¬ 
hogany crimson every petal of which re¬ 
flexes. Sure to be a winner. Does well 
from any bud after Aug. 12th. Height, 4 
ft; stem and foliage good. 
Ramapo. A seedling of the well-known Col. Appleton, the same 
color and habit, an improvement in form. Price, 50c. each.

the finest colored yellow chrysanthemums we have. 
Susie. A pretty incurving early yellow. In flower October 10th 
from bed taken Aug. 15th. Price, 50c. each.

exhibitions because of its enormous size and fine finish.

New Chrysanthemums of 1912. 
These have been tested and their merit proved. They have 
figured largely in the prize winning groups last Fall. 
Alice Lemon. A beautiful flower of light, soft pink. Stem and 
foliage fine. Flowers very large. A splendid exhibition flower. 
Chrysolora. This new variety can be briefly described as an 
early Col. D. Appleton, one of the best yellow sorts.

red. Excellent for exhibition; best bud August 15 to 25. 
F. E. Nash. Light pink Japanese. A very handsome heavy 
growing variety, that will easily make its mark. Take bud not 
earlier than August 20th to . get the best colored bloom. 
Hon. Mrs. Lopes. Large golden yellow. Taken on a crown 
bud about August 10th it produces a very handsome flower. 
Howard Gould. Florets are long and grooved and the flower 
builds up into an enormous globe. Inside of the petal bright 
golden chestnut, reverse, pure, deep gold. 
Keith Luxford. Wine red, very distinct in color; comes good on 
almost any bud and every grower should have it. 
Lady Carmichael. Large pure white Japanese. The center 
petals are incurving, while the outer ones are long and reflex, 
showing the flower to the best advantage. 
Mrs. A. R. Peacock. Greatly resembles Beatrice May, its 
parent. Pure white with very handsome stem and foliage. 
NEW CHRYSANTHEMUMS OF 1912—Continued. 
Mrs. David Syme. A fine white. Won the C. S. A. Silver Cup 
and First Prize. Absolutely perfect in flower, stem and foliage. 
Mrs. G. E. Kelly. Flower a distinct shade of salmon terra cotta, 
a splendid exhibition variety. 
Mrs. W. A. Read. Intense fiery scarlet crimson. One of the 
finest in this coloring, like all dark reds it is inclined to burn. 
A bud around August 15th not so liable to burn as later buds. 
R. F. Felton. Deepest possible shade of yellow. This flower 
never damps a petal under any conditions whatever. 
Roman Gold. Japanese incurved and darker yellow from 
September buds than Golden Wedding. From August buds 
a large reflexed flower but not so intense in color. In perfec¬ 
tion Nov. 1st. Best bud August 15 to 25. 
Smith’s Advance. Pure white when fully expanded, showing 
a creamy center when semi-developed. This is the earliest 
large white variety known. Buds selected June 10th were 
cut July 25th, in. across. Later buds give larger blooms.

The petals are irregularly arranged, very attractive.

20th. Blooms 9 in. in diameter. Best bud September 1 to 10.

splendid color and fulness. 
W. Mease. A bright rosy red; deeper in color than Mary Ma¬ 
son which it otherwise resembles; dwarf, handsome grower. 
W. Turner. Japanese incurved. The flower makes a perfect 
ball of pure white so large it has created a sensation at several 
shows. One of the best chrysanthemums ever introduced. 
W. Woodmason. This has made a wonderful record at the 
exhibitions this year; it has been exhibited 12 inches across 
and 10 inches deep; does not burn, a wonderful crimson. 
Well’s Late Pink. One of the finest things sent out in its color 
in many years, flowering from November 10th onward. 
This variety will be very largely grown when better known.
