THE SPLENDID NEW CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



Price. — 15 cts. each ; $1.50 pep doz. ; set of 80 varieties fop $10. 



The Splendid New Chrysanthemums are esteemed among the most showy and handsome 



Autumn flowers. Their profuse bloom and bril- 

 liant colors, continuing right to the edge of Win- 

 ter, long after all other flowers have disappeared, 

 has made them great favorites, and they are conse- 

 quently in very large demand. They have lately 

 been wonderfully improved, and are usually classi- 

 fied as Japanese, Chinese, Pompon, etc., but in the 

 recent rapid increase of varieties these classes have 

 so run into each other that they have become prac- 

 tically indistinguishable, and it seems no longer de- 

 sirable to classify them under separate heads. We 

 describe the color and general appearance of the 

 flower, so that purchasers can select those thev pre- 

 fer. AS USUAL, WHEN THE SELECTION IS 

 LEFT TO US, WE WILL SEND SORTS WE 

 KNOW WILL PLEASE. The varieties named
