EARLY CHRYSANTHEMUjMS IN THE GARDEiN. 



Early Flowering 



Chrysanthemums. 



New French Varieties. 



For the third year we offer these r.ew Chrysanthemums, 

 Bud after a more extended trial we do it more confidently. 

 Tbe illustration shows them naturally grown in the 

 £;aTden. Uut of over loo 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 commg to maturity, but now this difficulty 

 is overcome as these perfect their blooms during 

 September anu October, and this grand advance must 

 •urely give an impetus to Chrysanthemum culture hither- 

 to unknown. \\ e are indebted to M Delau.x 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. 



Alfred de Montebello. Large flowered Japane^ e ; petals 

 recurved, outlined in corkscrew ; silvery white with

 Baron Veillard. Paeony flowered hybrid Japanese; plai:t 

 dwarf, flower very double and very large; brilliant
