1223 LARGE FLOWERING CHINESE AND JAPANESE. 
the large flowering chrys- 
anthemums, the glory of 
autumn, have long been 
considered our finest per- 
ennials. Some are better 
suited to out of doors cul- 
ture than others. The ¢ 
color range is almost 
endless, though red, yel- 
low and white flowers 
predominate. We have 
only to say that our Chi- 
nese and Japanese chrys- 
anthemum seed is of the 
choicest strain, with end- 
less possibilities of high 
merit. This seed will 
produce blooming plants 
the first season. Very 
few people realize how 
easily they may be 
grown from seed. Large 
double flowers with in- 
curved and long twisted 
petals on long stems. 
Finest mixed varieties. 
Packet, 20 cents; 
3 packets, 50 cents.
