CHRYSANTHEMUMS FOR CUT FLOWERS. 
OUR COMMERCIAL SET. 
Chrysanthemums are now so important a feature of the florist’s cut flower stcck that—like the rose—they 
have been carefully bred and selected with a view to getting the best for that purpose, thus they are now divided 
into two general classes, viz: cut flower varieties and all others under the title of ‘‘ General Collection.” 
We have carefully compared the hundreds of varieties now in use for flowering under glass—both early 
and late—and find those named below to be the most profitable. Our success with the * Ostrich Plume’ 
varieties was most marked, the first cut yielding us $40.00 per 100 flowers, and never selling Jower than $20.00 
per 100. WVhose marked * will not be ready before March 1st. a
