 CHRYSANTHEMUMS. Large-Flowering. 



There is no plant we cultivate, 'with the exception per- 

 haps of the Dahlia, that assumes such an extended variety 

 of colors as the Chrysanthemum. Being entirely ha»dy 

 and of free growth, it can be grown on almost any soil 

 and situation with but little care. They are also valuable 

 grown in pots as greenhouse or parlor plants during early 

 fall or winter months, and are becoming very fashionable 

 for cut-flowers in the fall— tens of thousands were used for 

 that purpose in New York last season.
