 richness and variety of colors are combined with the most per-

 pleasure-ground where an autumnal display is desired. The 

 French and German florists have brought this flower to great 

 perfection ; we offer all the most choice vai-ieties. All the varie-

 be mulched with rotted manure, and well watered, which will 

 increase their beauty and duration of flowers. For assortments
