C, under the title of "Good Commercial Varieties," in The Review of November 11, page 42, and I am submitting herewith a list of the va- rieties we grow, so that A. F. J. B. may revise it, if that is deemed ad- visable. I should like, also, to have him state his reasons why any particu- lar variety he may suggest is better than the one we grow. Also, will he kindly give the approximate height? For instance, in his list Mayor Weaver follows Chieftain, where we have Dr. Enguehard. Is Weaver su- perior to Enguehard, and whyf We do not grow Golden Glow, as it is too early and of decidedly inferior quality. As to the magnificent Wm. Turner, this is easily the best of all the varieties we grow, even for commercial purposes. I presume the criticism of this variety by A. F. J. B. has more particular ref- erence to growers who ship their flow- ers. We sell directly to the consumer and rarely ship any. For this reason, would A. F. J. B. recommend Nakota and Elberon? If so, where would he place them in my list—I mean, as re- gards the season of blooming? The varieties we grow are: White— Smith's Advance, Early Snow, Charles Rager, Wm. Turner, White Chadwick and Timothy Eaton. Yellow—Chryso- lora, Ramapo, Appleton, Golden Chad- wick and Yellow Eaton. Pink—Unaka, Chieftain, Dr. Enguehard and Maud Dean. J. R.—Pa. There is perhaps no floricultural sub- ject on which there can be a greater diversity of opinion than on the ques- tion under discussion. There are a great many mighty good varieties of chrysanthemums. There is also a great diversity in the taste of individuals, be- sides the differences in markets and the conditions under which the blooms are sold. We grow almost entirely for the local wholesale market. This mar- ket will consume large quantities of medium-sized blooms, a grade that will sell at wholesale for $1 to $2 per dozen
