NEW "MARGUERITE" T\/r"DQ 17 CATXTT^tT'D 

 CHRYSANTHEMUM, iVl it O . T . O A i > L^ Hi JA 



A new form of the popular "Marguerite" or "Paris Daisy" type of Chrys- 

 anthemum. The color is the purest, glistening white. The flowers are 

 produced continuously in the most lavish profusion on long stems, rendering 

 this sort invaluable for cut flowers. They frequently measure 5 inches across;- 

 but even with ordinary culture the smallest should be 3 inches across. The 

 form of the flower is peculiar, the center being a mass of closely arranged, 

 fringed florets, with a circle of broad ray petals about 20 in number around 

 the center. As a pot plant for winter blooming it is of great value. Price, 

 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. See Flowering and Ornamental Plants, page 173,
