CHRYSANTHEMUM (PERENNIAL). 
Many flower-lovers have learned that the finest Chrysan- 
| themums are easily raised from seed, and bloom splendidly 
the first season. Our seed is saved from the finest Hybrid 
Japanese, Chinese and Ostrich plume varieties, and may be 
expected to produce grand double flowers of exquisite forms 
| and color, and perhaps some valuable new varieties, as 
| this is the kind of seed which produces new varieties. 
It germinates easily and will s00n commence to bloom. 
Pkt 8cts., 2 pkts. for 15 cts. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM, (Inodorum Plenissimum)—A perennial, 
but blooms abundantly the first year from seed, each plant bear-
