 the size and qualitv of the exhibits exceeds any- 

 thing we have heretofore had. and the inter-

 chr\-santhemum exhibition to be held Novem- 

 ber" 7th. 8th and 9th. for which over $400 

 worth of prizes are offered. The society pro- 

 poses to issue a special thirty-six page pro- 

 gramme, and the committee of arrangement 

 is leaving no stone unturned to make the 

 exhibition up-to-date In every particular. 

 Copies of the schedule can be had of Robt.

 class ever offered to the trade It is a very dwarf, 

 bushy, compact and extra free blooming variety,

 a pleasing shade of bright pink, upper petals white 

 at the base. Unlike Mars or America in color, it 

 has no trace ot salmon shading. Its miniature 

 trusses stand erect. 3 to 6 inches above the foliage. 

 It is excellent for bedding, for the border, or as a 

 pot plant. Too much praise cannot be given this 

 grand little pink variety. Price $5.0' per doz..
