PETER HENDERSON'S PLANT CATALOGUE. 



25 "PRIZE VARIETIES" JAPANESE 

 CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



The hybrids from this novel section are exceedingly interest- 

 ing in their varied forms and markings, together with the 

 enormous size of the flowers of many of the varieties, many of 

 them being five inches in diameter, and one of them reaching 

 the extraordinary size of eight inches in diameter. They also, 

 in most of the varieties, possess the valuable property of flow- 

 ering during the winter months, when desired, by pinching 

 off the buds as soon as formed in October. They are as hardy 

 as the ordinary Chinese sorts.
