CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

"Mrs, & Hiinjpteys, 



>£ NATURAL SIZI. 



Tlu8 is, we think, without exception the best white Chrysanthe- 

 mum yet seen in this country, being of the largest size, unequaled 

 in form, and of the purest white. It is late in flowering, and the 

 -ingle flowers brought a higher price at the end of November than 

 anything we had in our collection. The cut is only half natural 

 size. Included in the Christmas and Exhibition Collection. 

 Price, 40 cts. each ; $4.00 per doz.
