Henderson's Grand Prize Winnner GOLDEN WEDDING The Finest Yellow Ever Introduced. â When this superb variety was first shown in Philadelphia, in the fall of 1891, it was given a silver medal; exhibited there the past season the judges unanimously pronounced it the finest yellow in existence. At the exhibition In Madison Square Garden, New York, it was awarded the Silver Cup offered by 'Garden and Forest' for the best vase of six flowers. It was awarded the Silver Cup offered by Mrs. W. Bayard Cutting for the best vase of fifty flowers; it won First Prize in the special competition for the best vase of yellow, and was awarded a Special Certificate for great merit at Cinci iinati. This is certainly a most wonderful record. Nothing can exceed the richness of its color; it is unrivaled in this rfspect. It is a remarkably vigorous grower and has such strength of stem that it carries its great globular flowers erect, giving it a bold majestic appearance. The form of Golden Wedding is unique; the outer petals droop downward in picturesque irregularity, the centre of the flower is built high, with broad petals irregularlj; overlaid, so that although the flowers are so large they are not heavy, solid-looking like many others. For this reason alone, it will, no doubt, supersede all other yellow varieties with the public. Price, 25c. each, $2.25 per doz. GETTYSBURGH.
