EAREY-EEOWERING 



CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



An assortment of very early- flowering varieties selected from an 

 English collection, which, during the season of 1907, we found in 

 full bloom in a nursery in the vicinity of London as early as September 

 20th. We have, during the past two seasons, given them a careful 

 trial in our own grounds, and while but few of them in our climate 

 showed fully developed flowers before the e.nd of September, all of 

 them perfected [heir blooms during the month of October, giving a 

 wealth of bloom after Dahlias and other tender plants were cut by 

 frost.
