CH RYSANTH EMUM 
“Louis Boehmer.” 
The ** Louis Boehmer”? has 
the same wonderful hair-like 
growth or excrescences that 
appeared for the first time in the 
white variety, “Mrs. Alpheus 
Hardy,” but it differs from it in 
color, being a most beautiful 
shade of lavender pink, shaded 
with silvery pink on the ends of 
the petals. The flowers are 
splendidly incurved, as shown in 
the engraving; the inside of the 
petals are deep rose, so that the 
contrast between their inner and 
outer surfaces is very decided, and 
adds greatly to the appearance of 
the flowers. For evening wear, 
the Louis Boehmer will be sure to 
be in demand, as its color under 
gaslight is a soft, pleasing pink.
