CHINESE CHRYSANTHEMUMS,—Large 
Flowering. 
Chrysanthemums for the past three seasons have become 
in New York and all our large Eastern Cities, the most fash- 
ionable and prized of all autumn flowers—hundreds of thou- 
sands being sold during the season. By far the best season 
to buy is spring, as the plants grow rather too large to be 
shipped in fall. There is no plant we cultivate, with the ex- 
ception perhaps of the Dahlia, that assumes such an extended 
variety of colors as the Chrysanthemum. Being entirely 
hardy and of free growth, they can be grown on ost any 
soil and situation with but little care They are also valuable 
grown in pots as green-house or parlor plants during early 
fall or winter months.

25 “ PRIZE VARIETIES” JAPANESE

The hybrids from the Japanese section are exceeding] 
interesting in their varied forms and markings, together wit 
the enormous size of the flowers of some of the varieties, 
many of them being five inches in diameter. They also, in
