 date; graceful, compact and symmetrical; a 

 vigorous, healthy grower. No written de- 

 scription can convey an adequate idea of its 

 extreme value. All growers are invited to in- 

 spect it at our Norwood greenhouses. If you 

 are located not more than a thousand miles 

 away, it will pay you to make the journey.

 Chrysanthemums.

 three to four weeks. We can supply them
