 flowers cover it thickly all summer long. Equally valuable for

CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



The beautiful seedling Chrysanthemums exhibited everywhere at 

 autumn shows have encouraged many amateurs to try growing the

 carefully tended, they will give handsome flowers the first year.

 fully attractive. En-
