Price, 15c. each, or the Set of Seven for 60c. MRS. HENRY ROBINSON, In the entire Chrysanthemum family there is no grander white variety, no matter when it blooms; it is of the most popular style—immense, incurving, broad-channeled petals of great substance and the purest white—can be used a few days earlier, but it is a sin to cut it until the center petals have begun to develop; from a flat incurved form it gradually changes into a perfect ball of snow, sixteen to eighteen inches in circumference. Winner of twenty-six first prizes. Price, 15 cents each. VIVIAN MOREL. A mammoth variety, with long, loosely arranged petals of a most beautiful shade of pink; a strong, sturdy grower, with deep green foliage; contour very distinct from any other in common. Price, 10 cents each. MARION HENDERSON. We cut the first flowers on October 10th, days before any other large yellow was ready, and had perfect flowers to cut a month later. The texture of the flower is such that we have never seen it in the least affected by damp, al- though other varieties alongside of it were badly affected. We have never seen a symptom of any disease on it. Will be invaluable for early cut flowers, and we believe will occupy the same position among early varieties that Golden Wedding does among late ones. Price, 10 cents. GEORGE W. CHILDS. No Chrysanthemum created such a sensation as did this, when exhibited at Orange, N. J., and Philadelphia. The flowers are of massive size, reflexed, with broad, stiff petals; color deep, rich, velvety crimson, with no shade of brown or chestnut. Flowers born on strong, stiff stems. The foliage resembles Cullingfordii, but it is much heavier and darker. They grow close up to the flowers, which gives the plant an elegant appearance. Price, 10 cents. DOROTHY TOLER. A perfect pink globe. This variety is truly a gem, while its great depth, perfect fullness, and fine pink color, with its grand lasting qualities, will make it rank as the leader among late pinks. Price, 10 cents. MME. F. BERGMAN. The finest of all the early whites; very large and full, and of the purest white, with creamy center; a strong, sturdy habit; fine foliage. The most popular white variety v/ith florists for early forcing. Price, 10 cents. MRS. J. G. WHILLDIN. A handsome yellow variety of light tint, fine, large size and splendid form. A magnificent addition to the scarce, very early, large flowering varieties. Whole large green- houses are devoted to this variety in the East for cut- flower purposes. Price, 10 cents.
