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.

WILLIAM KLEINHEINZ 


William Kleinheinz

MRS. HARRY TURNER 


Mrs. Harry Turner 


The picture does not begin to do justice to the variety, which is a lovely crimson, 
showing a color as deep as the old Black Hawk, with a flower of good size. Do not take 
the bud on this variety before August 25th, as early crowns are so crowded with petals that 
the flower is not of perfect shape. Height 514 feet; stem and foliage perfect.

RAMAPO 


Ramapo 
This variety was certificated by the C. S. A. 


American seedling of Col. Appleton, which will take the place of that variety. It

Bronze Brighthurst 


A finely colored sport of the old favorite Brighthurst. The bronze shading is very 
brilliant. and to the growers who like Brighthurst, we recommend this sport with every 
confidence. It is the exact duplicate of its parent in stem, foltage and every respect, 
save color. 


Elizabeth Seton 


Pure white seedling of the largest size that should be able to hold its own in any 
company. Seedling of Mr. Wincott’s who has given us several splendid varieties. Crown 
bud August 15th. 


Antique 


” 


A deep bronze sport of the favorite Dr. Enguehard. It ts a duplicate of Enguehard 
in all respects save color. We recommend this variety to commercial growers where 
bronze varieties are popular. ‘Treat similar to the parent in every way. 


Marie Loomas 


Chestnut terra cotta with long drooping florets. Rather tall but an excellent 
variety. 


Mrs. R. A. Witty 


A reddish terra cotta. This would be a splendid variety if it were not quite so 
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. 


Mrs. Benson 


A very refined flower of the purest white. The individual petals are very fine and 
the flower as a whole looks like a mass of very finely cut paper. A unique variety and 
very popular with the ladies. 


Any variety of other raisers can be supplied at introducer’s prices.

The Wells-Pockett-Totty Set of 1911 


Prices: 50c each, $5.00 per dozen, $35.00 per 100. 


Wm. I umer 


This variety has created a sensation as exhibited at several shows. Makes a perfect 
ball of the purest possible white and as such will displace Merza and all others of that 
character on the exhibition table. Time will prove this variety to become one of our 
best standard commercial kinds also. 


MRS. G. C. KELLY 


Mrs. G. C. Kelly 


Old rose with silvery reverse; perfect stem and foliage. Do not feed too heavily 
with this variety as it is such a strong grower It Is apt to take up too much nourishment.

THE WELLS-POCKETT-TOTTY SET OF 1911—Continued 


F. ‘T. Quittenton 


Deep crimson, every petal of which naturally reflexes, showing the color to the best 
advantage. Very strong in growth and will not burn a petal. Do not take bud before 
August 25th, as earlier buds are too crowded with petals. 


HARRY E. CONVERSE 


Harry E. Converse 


A chestnut crimson with a bronze reverse. By the time the flower is finished it

thing in its color and is a splendid exhibition bloom in every way.

Chadwick Supreme 


Pink sport of W. H. Chadwick. 
This now gives us Chadwick in three 
colors—pink, white and yellow—and 
there is no doubt this variety will be 
very popular with growers who de- 


sire a first-class late pink variety. 


E. M. Byrnes 


Glistening scarlet crimson. The 


flower is not large, but its wonderful 


color is very effective and it does not

Mrs. J. Dunne. Old rose; one of the largest. 
Always a standby for the exhibition grower.

Mrs. O. H. Kahn. A first-class bronze; comes 
good on almost any bud, but produces the 
best color from a bud taken August 20th

bronze section.

with drooping petals which interlace and 
make a beautiful high-class flower.

splendid grower, with foliage right up to

STANDARD VARIETIES—Continued 


R. F. Felton. Deepest possible shade of yel- 
low. This flower never damps a petal under 
any conditions whatever. While this is 
hardly large enough for an exhibition flower 
in some company, it is perhaps the finest 
colored yellow Chrysanthemum we have in 
cultivation today. 


Roserie. A very popular early pink, being al- 
most the first large-flowered pink in the 
market. 


Reginald Vallis. Deep rose, with long narrow 
petals; a very striking variety. 


Rose Pockett. Old gold shaded bronze, pure- 
ly an exhibition variety, but one of the finest 
kinds sent out. 


Soleil de Novembre. 


Yellow; flowering No- 
vember 15th. 


S. A. Naceur-Bey. Yellow, sometimes shaded 
bronze. Rather a tall grower but makes a 
splendid exhibition variety. Stem and foli- 
age perfect. 


Sir Frank Crisp. Splendid bronzy chestnut 
red; long neck. 


Souv. de W. Clibran. 
rets. 


Pure white; smooth flo- 


Timothy Eaton. One of the best known 
whites in cultivation and grown in tremen- 
dous quantities by the commercial growers. 
Hardly any limit to the size this variety 
can be grown. 


Valerie Greenham. Enormous exhibition pink. 
Do not take bud before August 20th or flow- 
er produces too many petals to properly de- 
velop. 


W. Duckham. One of the finest pinks ever 
raised and still unequalled, from the exhibi- 
tion standpoint, when properly handled. 


W.R. Brock. One of the best things we ever 
introduced, coming in from November toth 


onward. Can be had in perfect shape for 
Christmas...) Colores a) cleam pial 
W. Mease. A bright rosy red; dwarf, hand- 


some grower. Crown bud from August 15th 
onward. 


Wells’ Late Pink. One of the finest things 
sent out in its color in many years, flower- 
ing from November toth onward. This va- 
riety will be very largely grown when bet- 
ter known. Crown bud after August 25th. 

White Helen Frick. A pure white sport of 
the late pink variety, Helen Frick, and en- 
tirely distinct from Clay Frick, the white 
sport of Wm. Duckham. 


W. H. Lincoln. Very fine late yellow. 
W. H. Chadwick. A grand variety for late 


commercial work, coming in from November 
15th to Christmas. White shaded with blush. 
Take terminal buds. 

Winter Cheer. Beautiful incurving pink, per- 
fect shape, of the Bonnaffon type; a very 
easy variety to handle and always popular. 

W.M. Moir. Japanese incurved, purest white; 
monstrous flowers which will measure 9 
inches either way. $10.00 per 100. 


Yellow Miller. A yellow sport of the bronze 
Mrs. J. A. Miller, one of the largest flowers 
we have and a variety which any commercial 
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. 
This will be particularly valuable to the com- 
mercial grower who wants a yellow com- 
panion for his October Frost.

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. 
Florham Rose. Dwarf, handsome grower; Florham Yellow. Fine grower; large flow-

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.

‘““ 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.

strong calyx. One of the freest blooming Carnations ever introduced.

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. 


ALMA WARD. A grand Carnation to grow for the exhibition table. Color

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. 


Price: 75c per plant, $7.50 per dozen, $40.00 per 100, $350.00 per 1000 for 
own root stock. Grafted plants $5.00 per 100 additional. 


Double White Killarney 


The double white sport of Killarney; a valuable Rose for the Florist both for Summer 
and Winter cutting. The parent of Double White Killarney ts so well known that further 
description is useless. 


Price on this variety: 75c per plant, $7.50 per dozen, $40.00 per 100, $350.00 
per 1000. Grafted plants $5.00 per 100 additional.

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.

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.

door Rose.

firm who, year in and year out, produce the finest Beauties in the country.

very long, with flowers large and well ar- 
ranged.

large and fine; one of the very best. 

Sans Pareil. Perfect spike; very large flowers,

in prestige as it becomes known, as it ranks

we predict a great future for it. In its par-

New Verbena Bluebird 


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 
ago, seems to fill such a long felt want in gardens, that we have decided to list 


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. 


Blue is all too rare in Summer bedding. 
cisely the same shade as the blue in Lobelia Crystal Palace Gem.

not fade, it is just as brilliant in the scorching heat of August as it is in the milder

good satisfaction.

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

No one who has not seen these Pentstemons can form any idea of the brilliant 
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
