CHINESE CHRYSANTHEMUMS.-Large-flowering. 



Hundreds of our customers have not seen the finer varieties of Chrysanthemums ; 

 to such we would say that there is no plant we cultivate, with the exception, perhaps, 

 of the Dahlia, that assumes such an extended variety of colors. We have reduced our 

 collection considerably of both large and small-flowering kinds. Our list comprises the 

 best and most distinct of the many hundreds we have been cultivating. The Chrys- 

 anthemum, being entirely hardy, and of free growth, can be grown on almost any soil 

 or situation with but little care. They are also valuable grown in pots as green-house 

 or parlor plants during the early Fall and Winter months.
