Early Flowering Chrysanthemums. 



An assortment of early-flowering varieties selected from an English 

 open-air collection which, during the season 1907, we found in full 

 bloom in a nursery in the vicinity of London as early as September 

 20th. We have, during the past season, given them a careful trial in 

 our own grounds, and while but few of them in our climate showed 

 full developed flowers before the end of September, all of them per- 

 fected their blooms during the month of October, giving a wealth of 

 bloom after Dahlias and other tender plants were cut by frost.
