RARE NOVELTIES IN CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



EUGENE We consider this the crowning glory of 



the year in new Chrysanthemums. A 

 DAILLEDOUZE grand yellow— large, full, double, glowing 

 in color, stiff stem and good foliage, and 

 above all a free, easy grower. There is nothing brighter or clearer 

 among yellows ; the center is folded close, like Kioto, the outer 

 petals are broad and incurving, and of great substance. It is full 

 to the last degree, of great depth, and perfect in form. Among 

 several hundred plants of them grown together the flowers were 

 fine without exception, not a poor bloom among them, and the 

 foliage was uniformly perfect from ground to flower, not coarse 

 nor large, but plentiful. The cut blooms last a long time, some 

 of them even have remained in good condition three or four weeks. 

 Price, 25c each.

Enfant ties D. Mondes -The white sport from Louis Boehmer. 

 We predict that this variety will displace Mrs. A. Hardy; 

 first, because it is a strong, free grower; second, because j^^S\ 

 it perfects its bloom readily ; and third, because the bloom 

 is of grand size and build. The color is creamy white, 

 shading to pure white ; it is very heavily, plumed. Fine for cut 

 bloom or for e.xhibition. 20c each.
