Chrysanthemums
Carnations and Roses
CHARLES H. TOTTY
MADISON, NEW JERSEY
PREFACE
tomers for their generous support of the past year and assure them that I
will do my best to deserve a continuance of the same.
My business is very largely handling novelties. In trying to give the
American public the best the world affords, I have agents and correspond-
ents in different parts of the world to keep me posted on the best mtroductions in
Floriculture.
The Wells-Pockett introductions of Chrysanthemums figured in this catalogue
will carry on the name and reputation of the noted hybridizer, Mr. Pockett. It is nothing
short of wonderful how his seedlings, year after year, head the list of exhibition varieties.
Ninety-eight per cent. of the flowers staged at most Eastern shows are Wells-Pockett
varieties.
Last year’s novelties more than upheld the reputation of this strain. The variety
Wm. Turner created a sensation wherever shown. Harry E. Converse was easily the
finest thing in its color and the other varieties only a little way behind.
In new Carnations IJ am going to distribute this year Wodenethe, the “peerless
white,” and I would like every grower to see this variety growing; it is head and shoul-
ders above anything else in the line of a Carnation so far distributed. Brooklyn is a
medium sized flower, the same color as the old William Scott, and is a marvelous pro-
ducer. Where one has to have flowers and lots of them, Brooklyn will find a hearty
welcome.
In new Roses, Sunburst will be found a record breaker. It is a French variety,
brought to this country by E. G. Hill Co., three years ago. A giant among yellows, it
represents a phenomenal advance over everything else previously sent out in that color.

FOR 1912
MRS. GILBERT DRABBLE
Mrs. Gilbert Drabble
The finest novelty of the year. This variety conforms in every way to the American
ideal; stem perfectly rigid, foliage right up to the flower, and the flower itself is of the
very largest size. Purest white in color and the petals are arranged in a whorl, rendering
them most attractive and entirely different from any other white. This variety won
First Prize for the best bloom in the Paris Show. It was voted the best flower at the
Crystal Palace, N. C. S. Show; also at Edinburgh and Belfast, and it was also the most
admired flower in the St. Louis exhibition, which was the only place I could stage it.
Splendid dwarf habit. Crown bud from August 5th onwards will produce a marvelous
flower.
Price: $2.00 each, $20.00 per dozen.

The picture does not begin to do justice to the variety, which is a lovely crimson,

necky. It is very valuable in the class for 12 or 24 varieties.
Wells White
An incurving bloom of the purest possible white. This variety makes a splendid
pot plant for growing 9 to 12 flowers on a plant. It has a dwart perfect habit, and, while
hardly large enough for mdividual exhibition flowers, it is well worthy of cultivation.

Wm. I umer
This variety has created a sensation as exhibited at several shows. Makes a perfect

grower can make good money with. It is
also a splendid thing on the exhibition table.
Yellow Ivory. Our introduction of last year,
exactly similar to the pink and white except
in color. It is a lovely yellow.
Yellow October Frost. A yellow sport of the
well-known October Frost. Comes a much
better color than yellow sports generally do.

CHRYSANTHEMUM FLORHAM GEM

These varieties are seedlings of some of the earliest flowering Singles and the
Pompon “Jeanette,” raised by me in Madison. They are semi-double and come
into flower September Ist. They are of dwarf habit and splendidly adapted either
for making a display in the hardy garden or cutting in sprays.
The flowering habit is so persistent in these varieties that we cannot make
delivery much before April, as all the earlier growths run into bud.
Prices: 30c. each, $3.00 per dozen.

CARNATION WODENETHE
TOTTY’S "MUMS, MADISON, N. J. 20
Carnation ‘“‘ Wodenethe’’ (white Beauty)
(Witney)
The white you have been waiting for. Possibly no Carnation has been more talked
of or so closely watched as this, our chief introduction for the season of 1912.
It has been called by experts, the most perfect Carnation ever raised. The flowers
are very large, running from 4 to 4% inches, of absolutely perfect form, delightfully
fragrant and the calyx positively does not split.
It 1s a seedling, now in its fifth year, and has not been unduly forced, consequently
the habit is very vigorous and its constitution is unimpaired. This variety has never
failed to draw forth warmest praise wherever it has been exhibited. It has easily beaten
every variety with which it has been in competition.
A list of tts awards to date is given below and I would ask ail growers to look for it
at the Fall shows and compare it with any other variety in the exhibitions.
Annandale Rose Society—Certificate, June 16, 1909.
New York Florists’ Club—Certificate, (preliminary) Dec. 13, 1909.
New York Florists’ Club—Certificate, confirmed Feb. 24, rg1ro.

Lenox Horticultural Society—Certificate, Feb. 5. 1910.

National Association of Gardeners, Philadelphia—Craitg Cup, March 15, rg1o.
American Carnation Society—Preliminary Certificate.
New York Horticultural Society—Silver Medal, March 15, ro1t.
The Committee of Awards on Feb. 24, 1911, scored 93 points.
‘““ Wodenethe ” presents no difficulty of culture, so far as I am aware. It roots kind
and free and seems to do equally well either planted inside or lifted in the field.
The demand for this Carnation, from present indications, will be enormous. We
hope to be able to fill all orders in full and in good season. Please order early and we
will do our best to fill your order to your entire satisfaction.

CARNATION BROOKLYN
NEW CARNATIONS
Rooted cuttings, $15.00 per 100, $125.00 per 1000.
Brooklyn
This is a medium sized variety but the quantity of flowers it will produce will more
than make up for any deficiency in size. The color is very much like the old Wm. Scott
and the flower is quite deeply fringed. It is a first-class keeper and shipper and can be
strongly recommended as being in every sense of the word, “‘a bread and butter’ Carnation.
Benora
The best variegated ever introduced. It is also extremely free. Flower large, full, and
perfect form. Color cream white, beautifully pencilled with bright red, stem long and
wiry with narrow foliage. This Carnation stands head and shoulders above anything
else in its class.

INTRODUCTIONS OF 1911
Prices: 2c. each, $1.25 dozen, $8.00 per 100. 2%4-in. pot plants, 2c. each extra.
PRINCESS CHARMING. This variety is making good everywhere. Same color as
Enchantress, but the flowers never split in Midwinter, which makes the net
returns per square foot to the grower average much higher. This is one of the
finest keeping varieties ever introduced.
WHITE HOUSE. Very large flower, running well over 4 in. in Midwinter. An
excellent grower and very nice doer.
BONFIRE. Intense velvety scarlet. A free clean grower and splendid constitu-
tion. Looks as though it should be the leader in scarlets.
WHITE WONDER. A splendid producer in the Fall of large, high quality flowers.
Not so robust a grower as some other varieties but a grand white.
GLORIOSA. Very large flower; bright pink. A beautiful high-class variety.
R. F. FELTON. This is an English variety of the Enchantress shade of color.
It comes to us with wonderful recommendations. It is too early yet to form
any idea of its merits.

MRS. C. W. WARD. Splendid shade of rose pink. Growth and habit A-1; very

WHITE ENCHANTRESS. A pure white strain from Enchantress; probably more
largely grown than any other white at the present time.
ROSE PINK ENCHANTRESS. A lovely shade of rose pink in the Winter time.
SANGAMO. Very free pink. Medium-sized flowers, but a wonderful producer.

ROSE SUNBURST
NEW ROSE
Sunburst
The new yellow forcing Rose. This grand giant yellow has been tested for three
years and has proved itself to be the ““ King”’ in its color. It can easily be grown with
four feet stems and has long pointed beautiful buds. We are sending this out in
conjunction with the E. G. Hill Co., who bought the American rights and would
like every prospective purchaser to come to our establishment and see it growing.
It is as free as any Rose could be and has created a sensation wherever it has been
placed on exhibition. We have been awarded two Silver Medals and ten Certificates for
this variety this Fall, and a Committee from the New York Florists’ Club made an exam-
ination of the stock growing in the benches and awarded it go points.

THE NEW ROSES OF 1911 INTRODUCTION
Prices: $20.00 per 100, $150.00 per 1000 for own root stock. Grafted Plants,
5c. each extra. Prices are for 2'%4-in. pot plants, Spring delivery. Specially grown
4-in. stock for June delivery. Prices on application.
ROSE QUEEN. A lovely shade of rose pink which does not fade in the Summer,
even when fully expanded. Our stock of this variety is in excellent condition
and we predict great popularity for it during the coming season.
DOUBLE PINK KILLARNEY. Identical with Killarney in color, the difference
being that the flower contains about twice as many petals and is consequently
much better for Summer flowering. Makes a larger, heavier flower.
LADY HILLINGDON. We are very proud of this, our introduction of last year.
It is largely planted and seems to be giving universal satisfaction as a quick,
clean grower. Color is a true, clear yellow with orange shadings in the center.
In addition to being a splendid forcing subject, this is a grand Rose for outdoor
culture, flowering continuously up to frost. We have excellent stock and can
quote in large quantities.

THE NEW ROSES OF 1911 INTRODUCTION—Continued
RADIANCE. The freest growing pink Rose in existence. Three feet stems on this
variety are common. We strongly recommend this to all private growers as it
is clean and thrifty. Never takes mildew and as grown with us the past two
vee it seems hard to find a single fault with it. One of the best outdoor Roses
also.
MRS. AARON WARD. Indian yellow, shaded lemon and cream color. Splendid.
outdoor Rose as well as blooming finely in the greenhouse.
MELODY. Pale yellow deepening to apricot in the center. Only own root stock
supplied as variety grows better that way.
ANTOINE RIVOIRE. Very strong grower; light shell-pink. Very fine stem
and foliage.
STANDARD VARIETIES OF ROSES
Prices: $1.25 per dozen, $8.00 per 100, $70.00 per 1000 for own root stock.
Grafted Plants $15.00 per 100, $125.00 per 1000. Prices are for 2%-in. pot plants,
Spring delivery. Special prices on larger quantities on application.
KILLARNEY. Best known and most largely grown pink Rose today. Too well
known to need further description.
WHITE KILLARNEY. Similar to above in all respects, except color, and one of
the most popular white Roses today.
MY MARYLAND. The best Summer flowering pink Rose grown. It is equally
well adapted for Winter work, if a night temperature of 64 degrees can be main-
tained. No variety will produce the quantity of buds that My Maryland will,
but it must be kept warm in the Winter.
RICHMOND. The best red Rose in cultivation today. Strong grower and free
bloomer and does nicely in the same house with average Roses.
BON SILENE. Deep rose color, shading to cherry red. Very fragrant and
largely grown outdoors.
MARECHAL NIEL. The best climbing Rose; a beautiful thing when well done.
Color a deep golden yellow.
MRS. JARDINE. Bright pink; very vigorous grower; makes a splendid out-
door Rose.
AMERICAN BEAUTY. Our stock of this Rose is grown specially for us by a
firm who, year in and year out, produce the finest Beauties in the country.
This stock we guarantee to be the finest that can possibly be bought and we can
supply in any quantity. Our price on same for 2%-in. pot plants is $10.00 per
100, $80.00 per 1000. 3 and 4-in. pot plants, grown specially to order, prices

Verbenas grown from seed are today, generally speaking, much more satisfac-
tory than named varieties carried in stock from year to year by means of cuttings.
This particular variety, which is a seedling that originated with us three years

it this year.
It has shown no sign of disease and we will be in a position to supply and
guarantee excellent stock of it for Spring delivery.

young growth is a beautiful bronzy orange color, veined with red, which changes

Totty’s Chrysanthemum Fertilizer
We have conducted a series of experiments for the past few years in conjunc-
tion with a noted chemist to find the best chemical ingredients to use in the feeding
of Chrysanthemums. The fertilizer here offered for sale is the result of these
experiments.
The analysis is as follows:
Total Nitrogen, 16 to 18, Equal to Ammonia, 20 to 21. Ammonia, 16 to 17. Soluble Phosphoric
Acid, Pz Os 6 to 7. Potash, Kz O, 4 to 5.
This fertilizer is absolutely safe when dissolved in water in the proportion of
one pound to 50 gallons of water. It may be used in conjunction with natural
fertilizers but, in itself, it furnishes a complete plant food for not only Chrysan-
themums, but any other plants, such as Roses, that are well rooted and will stand
the feeding.
Plants may be watered with this fertilizer once a week in the proportion given,
and the tTesults will amply testiiy tomits: values ietice: 7 ton 10M lbsem30c = perma
from 10 to 50 lbs., 25c. per lb.; from 50 to 100 lbs., 2o0c. per Ib.
Totty’s Carnation and Fruit Fertilizer
Similar to the Chrysanthemum fertilizer, so far as the ingredients are con-
cerned, but it will be noted that the percentage of nitrogen is reduced and the
percentage of potash greatly increased. ‘This is necessary because experiments
have proved that the Carnation is greatly improved by a larger percentage of
potash than is needed in the case of softer growing plants. This fertilizer is also
wonderfully effective in raising fruits under glass. The potash and nitrogen being
balanced in just the right proportion it produces the most perfect fruits.
Every gardener in the country should try this fertilizer on his Grapes and
other fruits. Price: 7 to 10 Ibs., 30c: per Ibs; arom’ To to So lbs. 25c, per Ib: ine
50 to 100 lbs., 20c. per lb.
ANALYSIS: Nitrogen, Io to 12. Equal to Ammonia, 12 to 15. Ammonia, II to 12. Soluble
Phosphoric Acid, Rg O05 6to 7. Potash, Kg O, Io to 12.

WELLS’ NEW EARLY FLOWERING SINGLE
CHRYSANTHEMUMS
We are now in a position to supply seeds of this sterling novelty. Nothing
easier to grow. Sow in small pots in a greenhouse, if you have one, or in the open
ground as soon as it can be worked in the Spring, and pick off as soon as the
seedlings are large enough to handle.
Plant out 18 inches apart in May, and you will have a profusion of bloom all
the Fall.
Hundreds of plants can be raised from a packet of seeds, and every one will
be a different variety. If lifted in the Fall and potted, these plants will flower for
weeks, equally well in the greenhouse or the house window.
Single Chrysanthemums are the craze at the present time, and from a single
packet of seed you can get sorts equal to the best-named varieties. Trial packets

display a bed of these plants presents. They will be hardy in the Southern States
and, being perennials, will grow and increase in size and beauty every year. No
trouble to grow. Treat the seedlings as you would Asters and plant out a foot apart.
You will get more satisfaction out of a packet of these seeds than any other
