HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS. At this season of 

 the year when Hardy Chrysanthemums are at their 

 best in the garden, it is a liule risky to plant them 

 out-of-doors. We have a fine representative collection 

 of pompon, fringed, starry flowered, and other types, 

 which is constantly being improved. We shall be glad 

 to send a list of Chrysanthemums on request and will 

 undertake to fill orders for them, at the proper plant- 

 ing time next spring. 



LILIUM regale. The finest of all Lilies and the easiest 

 of all to grow. Planted this autumn, our strong bulbs 

 will grow 3 to 5 feet high next summer and pro- 

 duce heads of long, trumpet-like, white flowers with 

 golden centers daintily tinged with pink on the out- 

 side. Any situation except dense shade and wet 

 ground suits this Lily perfectly. Matured and ready 

 to ship in November. 3 for 65 cts.; 12 for $2 postpaid.

 either pale yellow or white flowers. 

 It can give distinction to gardens 

 where pink or red colors now 

 predominate. 



Miss Lingard. This is the most 

 useful of all Phloxes because 

 it comes into bloom early and 

 continues for several months. 

 The enormous heads 

 of pure white flowers 

 combine beautifully 

 with delphiniums and 

 other flowers of the 

 period.

 bloom after Miss 

 Lingard, thus con- 

 tinuing the season.
