 gentle heat, it may be had in flower in the greenhouse, in February and March.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS, Hardy Pompon 



These are the only sorts which are reliably hardy in the Northern states. They 

 are sometimes called "Button" Chrysanthemums. The proper way to grow this 

 type is to allow the plant to make as many shoots as possible. By disbudding, 

 nice flowers two inches and more in diameter can be had. They do wonderfully 

 well in most parts of the country. We offer six of the leading varieties.

 and moisture, and they luxuriate, coming up year after year. We offer a choice selec- 

 tion of the best native sorts.

GYPSOPHILA, New Early Flowering EHRLEI 



Gypsophila Ehrlei surpasses any that has ever been introduced. It is a distinct 

 new form, early, pure white, double flowering and not a variety of the plentiful 

 Gypsophila paniculata fl. pi. .\n additional feature of this novelty is that its largest 

 crop of flowers is produced before paniculata begins to bloom, ."^.fter the 

 main crop has been cut, flower spikes still make their appearance until frost. 

 It is far superior to Gypsohila pan. fl. pi. because of the enormous size of its 

 pure white flowers. Flowers were cut as late as November ISth. Strong

 marbled, veined and striped.
