CHRYSANTHEMUIVIS. 



Truly the "Queen of Autumn." In their present stage of 

 development there is no other flower that Avill favorably com- 

 pare with the Chrysanthemum in decorative beauty. Each 

 successive year ushers in new and startling improvements in 

 this already, marvelous plant. Not only are the blooms of im- 

 mense size, but of almost every imaginable form and shade of 

 color, the varieties now popular being almost bewildering in 

 their beauty and grandeur. My collection of varieties h|as 

 been made up of the very best of all classes and may be justly 

 claimed to be "The Cream of the Chrysanthemums," being iihe 

 result of much time, labor and money in testing all varieties of 

 promise as they have appeared. Each one that I here offer pos- 

 sesses hiG;h and distinctive merit and caimot fail to please. 

 Now is the time to buy the plants, grow them during the sum- 

 mer and have them in perfection for blooming in autumn. 



My plants are unsurpassed in quality: they have not been 

 forced but have been grown in cool houses and are healthy and 

 strong with good balls; none better can be had anywhere. 

 Will he sent by mail, if desired, at prices affixed, but I rec- 

 commend shipment by express, as stronger plants can be sent 

 and unbroken balls of soil.
