The Weekly Florists* Review^ 



DECEMBER 15, 1S98. 



IN CHRYSANTHEMUMIAM. 

 Say there, 

 You rosybuds 

 And lilypads, 

 And sweet peas. 

 And daffydowndillies, 

 And daisies, 

 And geraniums. 

 And all you others 



Miss Nancies of the flowering world, 

 Will you please gosprinkleyourselves. 

 And turn your weeping eyes on Me? 

 Me 



The effulgent and iridescent full back 

 Of the Floral Field? 

 The only blooming 

 Football player 



In the whole botanical business? 

 There's nothing 



■Of the modest little violet style 

 In my ornate 



And flocculent physiognomy. 

 And when it comes 

 To throwing bouquets, 

 I rather fancy 

 I'm a whole plate 

 Of cold slaw 

 Myself 

 Don't I seem 

 To strike you that way? 

 I am also 



A shredded sunburst of glory. 

 And when I rise and shine 

 There is but one light 

 By which the footsteps 

 Of the fleet and fading Flora 

 Are guided; 

 That's 

 The Chrysanthemum! 



— New York Sun.

o 



This has been conclusively proven by experiments at Lincoln Park, Chicago. The Tonic also 



kills Hard Shelled Scale, Mealy Bu^, and other insect pests without injury to the 



plant. A trial of a li.i-cent bottle will convince you that a really remarkable 



insecticide has been discovered. Send for circular.
