A •■sport” from 
Mrs. Barkley.

witli a vivid 
]nnk center, un¬ 
ique and dis- 
tircti a sensa¬ 
tional variety. 
Mrs. John E. 
Dunne. A splen¬ 
did terra cotta, 
\\itbjiist enough 
pink and golden 
yellow to brigh¬ 
ten it and make 
it most attrac¬ 
tive. It is of 
dwarf habit, 
stocky, with fine 
stems and fo¬ 
liage. A beau¬ 
tiful flower and 
grand either for 
exhibitions or 
for cut flowers; 
very large. 
Mrs. Henry 
Partridge, The 
most satisfac- 
t<^ry dee]} crim¬ 
son variety yet 
introduced; * it 
has a bronze reverse. It never damps the petals 
and opens fine without any shading. The shape 
of the flower is open, petals loosely overlaid, 
showing the reverse slightly, so that the grand 
color is displayed to the best advantage. 
Goldmine. Appropriately named as to color, 
for it is a mine of pure golden yellow. Large 
flowers, broad petals, recurved and festooned 
in the most graceful manner. 
Mrs. D. Willis James. A rich, warm shade of chestnut terra 
cotta with an old gold reverse. It is very early; perfect 
flowers were certificated in Xew York October 9th. Fine for 
bush jjlants as in that stage the flowers are brilliant red. 
Mrs. D. V. West. A grand Chrysanthemum for all purposes. 
Pure white, with broad curling florets w'hich twist into 
very graceful lines. It is altogether unique in form and is 
(jne of the largest sorts grown. A gem, and should be grown 
by every lover of the ” Autumn Queen.” 
Mme. G. Rivol. A yellow ” sport ” from Mme. Paolo Radaelli 
and a splendid, deep color. The growth is splendid and it 
is a useful sort for all purposes. 
Morton F. Plant. This is truly a magnificent varietv. Im¬ 
mense blooms on the style of Viviand-Morel, but twice as 
large. The center stands high and the petals fall away from 
it in a graceful, wavy shower. The color is a grand', true, 
clear, rosy-pink, deep and lustrous, glistening in the .sunlight. 
It scored 95 points on exhibition and commercial scale, a 
remarkable record. The stem and foliage are* grand. 
Mrs. J. A. Miller. A deep red and dwarf sturdy grower. Large 
flowers, held a commanding position in the exhibitions. 
Mrs. F. F. Thompson. An informal flower of enormous size. 
The form is deep and incurving, the petals twist and curl fan¬ 
tastically. Color pink with creamy-white center. 
Old Gold. A charming color, aptly described by the name. 
The flower is not one of the largest, but its lack cf size is 
made up by the splendid stem and foliage. It is of unusua. 
excellence for growing in pots and for use in decorative effectsl 
T. Richardson. Color the same as the Enchantress Carnation. 
A delicate blush. Stem strong and splendid foliage. Won 
first prize in New York. 
Valerie Greenham. A beautiful, bright pink variety, shading 
deeper towards the center and lessening slightly towards the 
extremities. The coloring is channing, one of the best in its 
type. The petals are extra long and they droop and curl in 
lavish profusion. A uniform winner at the exhibitions.
