SILVER WEDDING—Blooms Oct. 28th. A pure white bloom, very 
broad reflexed petals, making a bold handsome flower somewhat re¬ 
sembling a cactus type dahlia. A tall grower and with me the 
hardiest of large flowering mums. 
RICHMOND—Blooms Oct. 28th. A perfect ball-shaped golden yellow 
with long blooming period; with me an outstanding yellow of real 
merit. 
HILDA BERGEN—Blooms Oct. 3€th from early September bud; a 7- 
inch incurved bronize flower that hojds its color to full maturity; 
height 4 feet; handles unusually well and is very popular among 
the bronzes. 
OLD GOLD—Not so sure of name, as I have purchased it under various 
names. A perfect incurved 8-inch clear yellow bloom on 4 ft. stem, 
by November 1st. 
AMBASSADOR—While not a recent introduction, its earliness and large 
size keep it in front ranks. It is a pure white, incurved, perfect in 
conformation, and may be grown nearly as large as the Turners. 
It will NOT stand heavy feeding. Ordinary garden soil is good 
enough. If pushed much it will just ‘‘burn up.’’ A terminal bud 
around the last week of August will give a perfect bloom the last 
day or so of October. 
YELLOW AMBASSADOR—A clear yellow sport of the above; identical 
in all other respects. Makes a good combination with the white 
Ambassador. Do NOT feed either variety heavily, as they positively 
can not stand heavy forcing. 
COLUMBUS DISPATCH—A very vigorous deep yellow variety that will 
attain a height of 5 feet from June 1st planting, and mature an 8- 
ince incurved bloom by the end of October. Best bud around Sept. 
1st. With me a good early yellow and easy to handle. 
STATELY WHITE—A tall pure white, with perfect rounded bloom ma¬ 
turing Nov. 1st from early terminal bud. 
ELBERON—Blooms Nov. 1st from August 30th bud. While not a very 
recent introduction still very popular; a bright pink; of finest in¬ 
curved form; beautiful foliage and a good stem; semi-dwarf in 
groAvth. A variety easy to manage. 
YELLOW ELBERON—A yellow sport of this popular variety; otherwise 
identical. 
WILLIAM TURNER—Blooms Nov. 1st from Aug. 30th bud. While not 
a new variety, it is still surpassed in size only by a few of the later 
introductions; a grand incurved bloom of purest white; very impos¬ 
ing. Semi-dwarf in growth. 
YELLOW TURNER—The yellow sport of this grand old variety. 
Y’ELLOW GOLD—An unusually light but bright golden yellow. It is 
a tall grower and from a terminal bud will mature its large incur\"ed 
blooms by the first week in November. 
SNOW WHITE—Blooms Oct. 30 from early Sept. bud. An extra large 
incurved white bloom with effect like unpolished marble. By far 
the best second-early large white I have ever grown; can not be 
too highly recommended. 
GOLDEN TOPAZ—A glowing yellow anproaching Friendly Rival in 
shade of color. Fine, upright growth with good stem and foliage. 
Height 4 ft.; flowers 7 inches; Matures Nov. 10th from Sept. 10th 
bud. 
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 crowm bud around mid- 
August.. Blooms 8 inches.
