CHINESE CHRYSANTHEMUMS.-Large Flowering. 



Hundreds of our customers have not seen the newer 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 Chrysanthemum, being entirely hardy and of free 

 growth, can be grown on almost any soil and situation with but little care. They are also valu- 

 able grown in pots as greenhouse or parlor plants during the early fall or winter months. The 

 above cut is an excellent representation of this type or class, which we can furnish of any color 

 named below.
