height and from a bud taken the third week of August will fully 
mature its bloom by October 25th. 
GOLDEN MEASURE—A tall-growing golden yellow bloom of perfect 
incurved type. Here it blooms about a week after Chrysalora, which

sembling a cactus type dahlia. A tall grower (6 feet) and with me 
the most resistant to frost of all large flowering mums. 
RICHMOND—Blooms Oct. 28th. <A perfect ball-shaped goiden yellow 
with long blooming period; with me an outstanding yellow of real 
merit.

inch incurved bronze flower that holds its color to full maturity;

large size keep it in front ranks, It is a pure white, incurved, per- 
fect 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 uy” A terminal 
| bud around the last week of August will give perfect bloom the 
last day or so of October. 
OLD ROSE—A large incurved reep pink that is perfect for shading— 
‘even held its color with me through our long drought in the fall

“large size and possesses excellent substance. Blooms the last week 
in October. 
YELLOW AMBASSADOR—A clear yellow sport of the S nuelt identical 
in all other respects. Makes a good combination with the white 
Ambassador. Do NOT feed either variety heavily, as they positively 
ean not stand heavy forcing.

globular flowers of perfect finish and of a clear yellow color. Take 
bud around August 30th ‘and obtain: bloom by October 28th.
