(Flowers. t\*o-third: 

 natural size). 



{ieW Early yelloW* tMarion Henderson." 



A new seedling Chrysanthemum raised by ourselves. 

 We cut the fust flowers on October loth, days before any 

 other larg^e yellow was ready, and had perfect flowers to 

 cut a month later. The texture of the flower is such that 

 we have never seen it in the least affected by damp, al- 

 though other varieties alongside of it were badly affected: 

 We have never seen a symptom of any disease on it. 

 This grand variety will be invaluable for early cut 

 flowers, and we believe will occupy the same position 

 among early varieties that Golden Wedding does among 

 late ones. Price, bushy plants from 5-in. pots, 35c. each, 

 $3.50 doz. ; 3'oung plants, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz.
