THIS collection is made 

 up of such sorts as 

 are generally grown 



for exhibition purposes, and 



embraces nearly every shade 



of color and variety of form. 

 To obtain "Exhibition" 



flowers the best culture must 



be given, else size, finish and 



the individual characteris- 

 tics will be lacking. We 



publish a pamphlet on "How 



To Grow Chrysanthemums" 



which will be sent free to 



applicants. To those who 



wish fuller instructions we 



recommend Chrysanthemum Culture by 



A. Herrington, which will be sent post- 

 paid, for 50c.
