VERMONT —A magnificent pink of lovely bright shade. It is not a recent 
introduction, but its enormous exhibition blooms still keeps it in the 
foreground. It is a vigorous grower, and has but one s'erious objec¬ 
tion—the stem will not support the large bloom upright (it nods its- 
head). A crown bud about mid-August will give perfect bloom about 
November I'Oth. 
EDWIN M. BYRNES —A remarkable shade of scarlet-crimson which illu¬ 
minates under artificial light. Bloom very large and petal arrangement 
somewhat irregular. Tall grower. Best bud August 20; Matures No¬ 
vember 10th. 
MT. ETNA —A fairly recent introduction. A large incurved pure white 
bloom very much resembling SNOW WHITE, but maturing around 
November 10th. Tall vigorous grower; take crown bud around mid- 
August. Blooms 8 inches. 
O. P. BASSETT— The most distinctive red incurved bloom of exhibition 
size I know of. It matures around the middle of November, and 
is a perfect wine red, with a silvery reverse. Very large incurved bloom 
on erect stiff stem. Red incurved varieties' are scarce and this is a 
good one.
