EARLY GOMtEGTIOfl. 



f RIZE SEEBLrt^G, " BllUfl ffiMY." 



The variety shown In the engraving above and offered in our set 

 of Prize Seedlings on page 113 is exceptionally good in every par- 

 ticular. A single flower exhibited at Philadelphia last year, but 

 not entered for competition, was awarded a Special Silver Medal 

 and a Certificate of Merit, honors rarely awarded to a new variety. 

 In the opinion of many it was the finest variety among the hun- 

 dreds on exhibition. The color is a beautiful shade of clear prim- 

 rose yellow, with deep apricot centre. The flowers are beyond the 

 average size, frequently reaching 10 Inches across; the habltrof 

 the plant is very strong and vigorous; it has all the essentials of a 

 first-class variety, and we predict a brilliant future for It. 

 Price. 60c. each. $6 00 per doz. 



THE PINK "OSTRlCJtf PIaUME" 



Chrysanthemum, u Louis Boehmer." 



The title of " Ostrich Plume " was applied by-us to the first of this 

 now typo of the Chrysanthemum (Mrs. Aipheus Hardy) to distinguish 

 it for all time from those previously known, but more particularly 

 to direct attention to the soft feathery growth with which the 

 flowers are thickly studded, forming so striking a resemblance to 

 an Ostrich Plume that this title was instantly suggested to us when 

 we first saw it The "Louis Boehmer '' is identical in its strange 

 and beautiful formation with that variety, but its color is an exqui- 

 site shade of silvery pink, with deep rose on the inside of the petals. 

 Ml is of vigorous constitution, being one of the strongest growing 

 varieties we have, so that it is certain to produce perfect flowers 

 under the most ordinary cultivation. 



Price. 6trong plants. 25 ct-s. each. $2.25 per doz. 



Although allot tho Chrysanthemums are early 

 enough to perfect their flowers in the open 

 ground of south Baltimore, yet in the vicinity of 

 New York and further north many of the late 

 kinds sometimes do not ; hence we ttftme this
