SIS CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



— AS — 



sia:o"vv2sr ikt colored plate. 



The widespread interest now taken in this beautiful class of plants is perhaps second only to the 

 rose. Their easy culture and freedom from insects and disease commend them to the most in- 

 experienced cultivators, while the varied and gorgeous colors and fantastic shapes of many of the 

 varieties make them the fashionable flower of autumn. From the hundreds of varieties which we 

 grow, we have selected the six varieties shown in the colored plate, and present them as the most 

 distinct, combining richness of color, profusion of bloom, and general excellence in all respects. 

 The varieties in colored plate are shown only in half their natural size. All Chrysanthemums are 

 hardy in the latitude of New York, and a covering of 4 or 5 inches of dry leaves or litter around 

 the roots will enable them to stand the winter in almost every State in the Union. 



Price for the six varieties as shown in colored plate, 60 cts. each, or $3.00 for set of six.
