and substance, color a very warm orange shading to bronze,

golden-orange color, an exceedingly sturdy producer of medium 
sturdy growth possesses excellent substance keeping for many 
days either on the plant or when cut, matures the end of Nov. 
or early Dec., an exceptionally good variety for pot plants or 
cut-flower purposes. 
COL. FREDERICK M. ALGER

petals being pencilled in red creating a wonder eiPect toward 
the center of the flower, of medium habit and healthy growth, 
matured in early November, it is a seedling from Detroit News

producing large flowers of a beautiful burnt orange color, a 
seedling from Tagoya and Valencia; matures in early November.

more intense orchid pink without traces of magenta, a very 
healthy and robust grower of dwarf habit and suitable for pot 
culture, the leaves are a dark leathery green, the stems are 
straight carrying well formed sprays, matures about Nov. 10 
to the 15th. The color is outstanding and has been admired by 
all wdio have seen it growing in our establishment for the past

Col. F. M. Alger 
GOLDEN SHOWER 
A dainty Gerbera-like single of great substance and well formed 
sprays, the color is a golden shade of burnt orange with thick 
petals, the flower being rather small when compared with other 
single varieties, matures in late November and is an especially 
good variety for cut-flowers, and for decorative purposes. 
MARIPOSA 
A very large Japanese incurved of glowing cattleya pink, of 
vigorous habit and good size, maturing the early part of No¬ 
vember, does best from second crown buds selected the end of 
August or early September. 
SUNBURST 
This variety is in my opinion one of the best Singles ever produced, 
it is a strong vigorous grower but attains only a medium height 
up to 3 inches, making it useful not only for pot plants but for 
cutting, it possesses excellent substance being one of the best 
keepers I have ever seen, the color is an intense burnt orange, 
each petal carrying a lavender sheen, it matures Nov. 15 to the 
30th. This variety has strains of the English variety Absolute 
for generations back on one side, and on the other side it is 
bred from Tagoya which in turn has some Korean blood in it, 
these combined characteristics have undoubtedly given it its 
unusual color and keeping qualities. 
VIRGINAL 
A beautiful pure white Japanese Anemone with a high round 
cushion and an ample number of ray petals, the color is pure 
white and with an ivory tinge to the cushion, the flowers are 
of large size measuring 4 inches and more in diameter when 
grown in natural sprays, when disbudded flowers are corres¬ 
pondingly larger in size, this variety possesses a very vigorous 
habit, and matures the end of October.
