25 "PRIZE VARIETIES" CHINESE 

 CHRYSANTHEMUMS. Large-Flowering. 



Chrysanthemums for the past three seasons have become 

 in New York and all our large Eastern Cities, the most 

 fashionable and prized of all autumn flowers— hundreds 

 of thousands being sold during the season. By far the best 

 season to buy is spring, as the plants- grow rather too large 

 to be shipped in fall. "There is no plant we cultivate, with 

 the exception perhaps of the Dahlia, that assumes such 

 an extended variety of colors as the Chyrsanthemum. 

 Being entirely hardy and of free growth, they can be 

 grown on almost any soil and situation with but little care. 

 They are also valuable grown iu pots as greenhouse or 

 parlor plants during early fall or winter months, and are 

 every season becoming more fashionable for cut flowers 

 in the fall and winter; tens of thousands were used for 

 that purpose in New York the past season.
