September Flowering Chrysanthemums. 
The illustration below shows an entirely new race of Japanese Chrysanthemums, invaluable on account of their early flowering. We 
are indebted to M. Delaux, of France, for this new departure, and it is doubtful if any more valuable acquisition has been secured in the 
long annals of successful hybridization. 
Out of over 100 sorts which we tested we have selected those named below as the most desir- 
able; they embrace, as will be seen, the most desirable colors. 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. Below we append a list of varieties, with descriptions.
