ICHRYSHNTHEMUMS.I 



THE PINK OSTRICH PLUME CHRYSANTHEMUM 



louis boehmer: 



Ready January isl, iSgi. Orders taken now. 



The title of "Ostrich Plume" we have ap- 

 plied to this new type of the Chrysanthemum to 

 distinguish it for all time from those previously 

 known, but more particularly to direct attention to 

 the soft feathery growth with which the flowers are 

 thickly studded, forming so striking a resemblance 

 to an Ostrich Plume that this title was instantly 

 suggested to us when we first saw it. We take great 

 pleasure therefore in announcing that we have re- 

 ceived from Japan a few plants (the entire stockl, of 

 a gorgeous PINK variety of the white " Ostrich 

 Plume Chrysanthemum" (Mrs. Alpheus 

 Hardy,) which was the forerunner of this beautifu" 

 class. The "Louis Boehmer" is identical in its 

 strange and beautiful formation with that variety, 

 but its color is an exquisite shade of silvery pink. 

 We have given it the name of the distinguished 

 botanical collector, Louis Boehmer, to whom horti- 

 culture is indebted for many valuable introductions 

 from Japan. Our stock is in splendid condition and 

 we can fill all orders with strong plants by January 

 1st, 1891. Orde-s booked now for delivery at that 

 time. (See cut.) 



Price, strong plants, $1.00 each.

The White " Ostrich Plume" r hrysEnthcmum, Mrs. Alpheus H:rdy. 



The White Ostrich Plume Chrysanthemum. 



"Mrs, ALPHEUS HARDY." 



This grand variety was the forerunner of the 

 «v new "Ostrich Plume" class of chrysanthe- 



mums and well deserves the high enconiums 

 passed upon it. Flowers of the largest size and 

 purest white, gracefully incurved, the petals 

 being thickly studded wich a soft feathery growth 

 easily suggested che title of "Ostrich Plume" 

 at first sight, as the term above all others which 

 most fitly describes its unique beauty. Plants 

 ready now. (See cut.) 



Price, 1st size, fine plants for immediate 

 effect, 75c. each ; $7.50 per doz. Small plants, 

 15c. each; $i.soper doz.
