EXHIBITION 



COLLECTION 

 OF 



This collection is made up of such sorts as are generally grown for exhi- 

 bition purposes, and embraces nearly every shade of color and variety of 

 form.

 finish and the individual characteristics will be lacking. We publish a pamph- 

 let on "How to Grow Chrysanthemums" which will be sentjree to applicants
