 Chrysanthemum. 



L'Ami Couderchet. 



Hardy Pompone Chrysanthemums 



These beautiful small flowered varieties are again coming to the 

 front, and are certain to become popular for outdoor bedding pur- 

 poses. They are absolutely hardy, and produce an abundant, 

 almost lavish, profusion of blooms, and the plants lend a color- 

 ation to the garden just at a time when other plants have been 

 destroyed by frost and are looking their worst. Frost does not 

 materially affect the flowering, and it will frequently happen that 

 an armful of flowers can be cut after a sharp frost. The collectioa 

 we offer embraces all the leading colors, and, with but a slight 

 covering of leaves or coarse stable litter during the Winter, will 

 take care of themselves after once planted,
