SEPTEMBER EL0WERING GHRYSANTHEMa/AS. 



(Engraved from a sketch made in owr Greenhouses Sept. 2&th.) 

 For the second year we offer these new Chrysanthemums, and after a more extended trial we do it more confidently. The illustration 

 shows them naturally grown in boxes. They are shown under glass where they were removed to protect the flowers from the September 

 storms. Out of over 100 sorts which we tested we have selected those named below as the most desirable. Hitherto the great objec- 

 tion to Chrysanthemums in our Northern States was that the frost destroyed most of the flowers before coming to maturity, but now 

 this difficulty is overcome, and this grand advance must surely give an impetus to Chrysanthemum culture hitherto unknown. Our list 

 this year contains some new varieties not offered last year. We are indebted to M. Delaux, of Prance, for this new departure, and it is 

 doubtful if any more valuable acquisition has been secured in the long annals of successful hybridization.

 ous ; golden yellow, blazed and lined with deep crimson.
