CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



"Mrs. C. H. \% heeler." 



The flowers of this magnificent variety are of the largest size, 

 and of such a hea^^y substance that they looli as if stamped out of 

 leather. The color is a bright crimson on the upper side of the 

 petals, while the under side is clear old gold, thus forming a most 

 striking and beautiful contrast. It is a late blooming variety, and, 

 if kept in a cool place, may be had in flower as late as the holidays. ' 

 The single ^ou'ers of this grand Chrysanthemum sold by the hun- 

 dred last December for 25 cts. each. Included in the "Exhibition" 

 Collection. 25 cts. each ; S2.25 per dozen.

Although all of the Chrysanthemums are early enough to perfect 

 their flowers in the open ground south of Baltimore, yet in the 

 vicinity of New York and further north many of the late kinds 

 sometimes do not ; hence for such we name this Early Collec- 

 tion, for the benefit, particularly, of residents of extreme Northern 

 States.
