its popularity. May be partially disbudded or grown to sprays. Ma- 
tures by October 25th. 
BRONZE BUCKINGHAM —tThe bronze sport of the above—identical in 
all other respects. 
NEW BUCKINGHAM-—Introduced as an improved Mrs. Buckingham, 
and with me it certainly justifies all claims. It is a single of deep 
rose shade, and the habit of growth is much more vigorous than the 
old Mrs. Buckingham. Also with me it is more prolific. Should not 
be disbudded—or at least only partially so. Matures here around 
Oct. 30th. 
META BERGEN—This single is brilliant Pompeian red that carries sev- 
eral rows of petals around the center. It is a splendid keeper; in 
fact will ship. Blooms first week in November. 
MELBA—Probably the most outstanding large single yet introduced. Has 
a brilliant tangerine-red color that is most unusual. May be dis- 
budded and grown to large size. Also good for pot plants. Has been 
long a favorite. Matures November Ist. 
MASON’S BRONZE—A single with a burnt orange color of great inten- 
sity. Especially good when grown to sprays, as stems are long and 
blooms cluster at top.- May be disbudded if larger blooms are de- 
sired. Extra good single with me. Blooms first few days of Nov. 
TAGOYA—A very brilliant red single, which may or may not be dis- 
budded. Healthy grower, but rather dwarf and therefore suitable 
for pot culture. Matures Nov. 5th to 10th. : 
MENSA—This is a pure white single that has been widely grown both by 
amateurs and commercials. It blooms the first week in November. 
Its bloom is large and has substance. Does well in pots. 
YELLOW MENSA—The clear yellow sport of the white Mensa. 
RED ROVER—A fine crimson single with reverse of petals golden—the 
same as the center of the flower. Will produce blooms 5-inches in 
diameter by November 10th. 
VALENCIA—A beautiful shade of Valencia pink without any trace of 
magenta—one of the loveliest singles yet introduced. Flowers meas- 
uring 4 inches may be had by November 15th. May be partially 
disbudded. 
KOREAN HYBRIDS 
This class is the latest advance in the chrysanthemum field, and 
owing to their new color combinations, combined with hardiness, they 
should prove great favorites over the central United States. 
Each year I grow what I consider the best introductions of the origi- 
nator of this strain, and the following variations are absolutely the best 
of this now famous strain of chrysanthemums. You will find most of 
the following varieties listed in the catalogue of the originator of the 
Korean Hybrid Strain—and at prices far in excess of what I quote be- 
low. 
The following 7 varieties are very recent introductions by the or- 
iginator of the Korean strain of mums. They are still new and scarce— 
hence the price. 
25 cents each—very limited stock. 
EUGENE A. WANDER—A variety that is reputed to beat the early 
October frosts, in that it begins blooming the last week of Sept. Very 
free flowering, the brilliant glistening golden yellow blooms com- 
pletely covering the stocky plants. Blooms may be grown to 5 inches 
if disbudded. Makes good pot plant. Occasional blooms will show 
bronzy tints. 
MRS. PIERRE S. DU PONT—This popular variety has a base shade of 
soft peach-pink. This is tinted with rosy salmon and fawn to make 
a blend that is hard to describe. The blooms are large, double and 
of excellent conformation. Taken with a hardy, vigorous, free- 
branching plant, it makes a very fine combination that earned wide 
attention last year. Grows 2% to 3 feet and in full bloom early 
in October. ““
