Chrysantlieniuiii New Doutsle 

 Autiual Hybrids. 



(Chrysanthemum oarinatum, fl. pi.) 



These beautiful varieties have been obtained by carefully 

 hybridizing and selecting for several years the semi-double 

 varieties of this useful annual until a high degree of doubleness 

 has been attained. They are extremely variable in color. 

 Some are pure white, yellow or crimson,' but the prevailing 

 types are bronzy yellow, the florets tinged with red or rose, the 

 imbricated ray florets beautifully pencilled; others have rich 

 crimson centres with clear yellow guard petals ; although mostly 

 very double, there will still be an occasional semi-double or 

 even single, but these are almost equally charming.
