Jieui Early Yellow, "JUarion Henderson." 



A new seedling Chrysanthemum raised by ourselves. It has been on 

 trial for two years, and we have every confidence in offering it as the 

 best early yellow Chrysanthemum as yet offered. The engraving, 

 which is two-thirds natural size, shows the form, but cannot show the 

 rich, buttery yellow color of the flowers, which is superb. It is full of 

 petals to the centre and lasts a long time ; in fact, although very early, 

 it can yet be made late, because it remains perfect on the plant for such 

 a length of time. "We cut the first flowers on October 10th, days before 

 any other large yellow was ready, and had perfect flowers to cut a 

 month later. The texture of the flower is such that we have never 

 seen it in the least affected by damp, although other varieties along- 

 side of it were badly affected ; for the same reason, it will ship to 

 long distances and arrive in good condition. These are all strong 

 points in its favor, but the strongest, probably, are the splendid 

 stems on which the flowers are borne, the rugged, healthy habit 

 of the plants, and the magnificent dark green foliage. "We have never 

 seen a symptom of any disease on it. This grand variety will be in- 

 valuable for early cut flowers, and we believe will occupy the same 

 position among early varieties that Golden Wedding does among late 

 ones. Price, 40c. each, $4.00 per doz.
