CURRIE BROTHERS' HORTICULTURAL GUIDE. 



TYPES OF ANNUAL CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



This magnificent class of summer bloom- 

 ing annuals should be in every flower gar- 

 den. We know of no class of flowers which 

 will produce such results with eo little care. 

 The flowers are borne on long stems and are 

 represented by a great variety of colors. 

 The single ones are particularly handsome, 

 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.
