 CHRYSANTHEMUM 

 INODORUM PLEN- 

 ISSI MUM— Although 

 a perennial, it flow- 

 ers abundantly the 

 first year from seed, 



each plant producing hundreds 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 flow- 

 ering before frost in the fall. They have been hybridized and improved great- 

 ly 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 va- 

 rieties in California in the open ground I have secured a strain of seed, which, sown in 

 the open ground early in the spring at Fordhook Farms, produces fine plants which flower 

 auite freely in the fall. They are entirely hardy, living out all winter and growing strong- 

 er each year, and at the same time produce flowers more 

 than double the size of the old-fashioned varieties, while 

 they embrace all the distinct types of flowers and many 

 of the rich shadings of color seen in tbe finest green- 

 house varieties, per pkt. 10 cts., or 3pkts for 25 cts. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM— "French Marguerites" or "Painted 

 Daisies," The plants grow 12 to 15 inches high, and pro- 

 duce on long stems beautiful large flowers of many 

 bright colors, having the appearance of being laid on with 

 a paint brush, pkt. 5 cts.

 velty disk in the center is surrounded by a circle of bright 

 golden yellow, followed by another clear-cut circle of 

 crimson; beautiful golden foliage, pkt. 5 cts. 



CENTROSEMAGRANDIFLORA— (The Butterfly Pea.) A 

 hardy perennial vine of great beauty, which blooms early
