NEW DWARF 



EAELY CHRYSANTHEMUM, 

 "White Bedder." 



The engraving shows a single flower 

 of this useful sort. It rarely exceeds 18 

 inches in height, forming a compact, 

 bushy plant; beginning to bloom most 

 profusely about the middle of August, 

 and continuing until cut back by frost. 

 It will be very useful for borders and 

 cemetery plots.

 $8.00 per hundred. 



The plants which I ordered arrived in fine condition, and are looking nicely. Many thanks for the extras; the Chrysanthemums especially were very acceptable.
