Group of September- 

 mums. Flowers 



flowering Chrysanthe- 

 hiiK natural size. 



UT of over 200 sorts which we tested we have selected those named 

 below as the most desirable, and only those that bloomed the latter 

 part of September and during early October. Hitherto the great objec- 

 tion to Chrysanthemums in our Northern States was that when grown in 

 the garden the frost destroyed most of the flowers before coming to 

 maturity, but now this difficulty is overcome.

"Ostrich Plume" collection. 



BELOW we offer a grand new collection of those unique Chrysanthemums.

 to call attention to the feathery growth with which the petals are thickly 

 covered.
