Chrysanthemum

 Varieties — Distinct 

 and valuable for cut 

 flowers. Pkt. 3 cts. 



Chrysanthemum 

 Inodorum Plenis- 

 simum — Although a 

 perennial, it flowers 

 abundantly the first 

 year from seed, each 

 plant producing hun- 

 dreds of beautiful, perfectly double snow-white 

 flowers. Pkt 3 cts. 



Chrysanthemum, Perennial— As grown formerly in the old-time garden these 

 were entirely hardy, the plants living out during the Winter, and flowering before 

 frost in the Fall. They have been hybridized and improved greatly in size, form 

 and colorings by the florists, but with a loss of hardiness and blooming at a later 

 period in the Fall, needing the protection of a greenhouse to bring them to full development.except 

 in especially favored locations. By planting these fine varieities in California in the open ground 

 we have secured a strain of seed, which, sown in the open ground early in the Spring at Fordhook 

 Farms, produced fine plants which flower quite freely in the Fall. They are entirely hardy, living 

 out all Winter and growing stronger each year, and at the same time produce flowers more than 



double the size of the old-fashioned varieties, while they em- 

 brace all the distinct types of flowers and many of the rich 

 shadings of color seen in the finest greenhouse varieties. Pkt 

 10 cts, three for 25 cts. 



Chrysanthemum — " French Marguerites" or "Painted 

 Daisies." The plants grow 12 to 15 inches high, and produce 

 on long stems beautiful large flowers of many bright colors, 

 having the appearance of being laid on with a paint brush. 

 Pkt 5 cts.

Centrosema Grandif Iora— (The Butterfly Pea.) A hardy 

 perennial vine of great beauty, which blooms early in June
