Grand New Chrysanthemum, Susan B. Anthony. I take great pride in offering 

 this fine new Chrysanthemum, which I have named in honor of Susan B. Anthony, 

 one of the grand women of the century. This lovely flower is snowy white, has 

 long stems and is double to the very center; the petals are broad and long, 

 drooping gracefully from the centre, curling at the ends; it has a fine habit, 

 handsome foliage, and is early blooming, continuing for a long time; under glass 

 it is always snowy white, outside, the petals are sometimes prettily lined with 

 pink. It is invaluable for cut flowers. 50 cts. each. 



New Aster Flowered Chrysanthemum, Victoria. This novel variety in habit

 ter, making a very striking contrast. A very unique and beautiful variety.
