TYPES OF ANNUAL CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



This mag-nificent class of summer blooming- an- 

 nuals should be in every flower garden. We know 

 of no class of flowers which will produce such re- 

 sults with so little care. The flowers are borne on 

 long stems and are represented by a great variety 

 of colors. The single ones are particularly hand- 

 some, many of them producing tricolor flowers of 

 great brilliancy in coloring. The Double Perennial 

 sorts should be sown early in spring for flowering 

 the same fall.
