THIS collection is made up of such sorts as are generally 

 grown for exhibition purposes, and embraces nearly every 

 shade of color and variety of form. 



Note. — We have entirely remodeled the collection 

 this year, having discarded all the excellent older sorts, which 

 have been superseded by the newer ones wc offer. 



Toobtain "Exhibition" flowers the best culture must be given else size, 

 finish and the Individual characteristics will be lacking. We publish a 

 pamphlet on "How To Grow Chrysanthemums," which will be sent free to 

 applicants. To those who wish fuller instructions we recommend Chrysan- 

 themum Culture by Walter P. Wright, which will be sent, postpaid, lor 75c.
