THE CHRYSANTHEMUM. 



1-9 



L'Enfant des deux Mondes, or The Child 

 of Two Worlds, is one of the finest of the 

 hairy varieties. Flowers large, pure creamy 

 white and densely covered with granular 

 hairs. Plant of good compact habit and a 

 profuse bloomer. 



Louise Boehmer is a beautiful magenta 

 pink, of the hairy class, and similar to the 

 last mentioned variety in almost everything 

 but color. 



To those who would like to get more in- 

 formation on the subject than could be given 

 in a short paper, I would like to recommend 

 some literature which would, no doubt, be 

 of interest to them. One of the best books 

 on the chrysanthemum is " Chrysanthemum 

 Culture for America," by James Morton. 

 As an excellent work on floriculture general- 

 ly for the amateur, I could not recommend 

 anything better than " Vick's Home Flori- 

 culture," ^by E. E. Rexford, the popular 

 writer on that subject in the Ladies' Home 

 Journal.
