The Chrysanthemum, ne.xt to the 

 Hose, is at present the most fashiona- 

 ble flower. Its remarkable diversity 

 of size, form and coloring, added to its 

 freedom of bloom, at a season when all 

 other flowers have faded, render it a 

 plant eminently worthy of care and 

 attention. Within the past few years 

 marked attention has been paid to the 

 Chrysanthemum, and flowers of enor- 

 mous size, with beautiful color and 

 form in the Chinese, and diversity of 

 shape and hue in the Japanese section, 

 are the result of the care bestowed. 

 It is invaluable as a border or pot 

 plant ; its chief requirements are plenty 

 of water and a rich soil. Sunny, warm 

 situations suit it best and prolong its 

 season of bloom until severe frosts set 

 in. The increase of beauty and size 

 has brought also an increase of tender- 

 ness, so that in order to attain the best 

 results the clumps should be lifted in 

 the fall after the frost has cut the flow- 

 ers and stored in a cold, dry cellar. 

 They can be set close together and cov- 

 ered with an inch or two of sand or 

 soil. Water occasionally to prevent 

 drying up. Early in spring plant in 

 open border, or divide and pot if to be 

 grown for house decoration or exhibi- 

 tion. Our lists contain the best of the 

 old sorts, the introductions of last sea- 

 son and the novelties of 1889. As not 

 a poor sort appears in the lists, our 

 customers can rely on any sort they 

 may select as being desirable in every 

 way.
