PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.-WHOLESALE PLANT LIST. 



September Flowering Chrysanthemums. 



These begin to bloom in late September and are generally over by October loth, or just when the general list of Chrysanthe- 

 mums are beginning to come in. Tbey are easily grown to reach 5 to 7 inches in diameter and are invaluable for very early cut 

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

 objection 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.

 yellow, blazed and lined with deep crimson.

 lined in corkscrew; silvery white with tinge of rose, center largely
