MI.LE. MARIE LIGER. 



HIS collection is made up of such sorts as are generally 

 grown for exhibition purposes, and embraces nearly every 

 shade of color and variety of form. 



To obtain "Exhibition" flowers the best culture must be given, else size, 

 finish and the individual characteristics will be lacking. We publish a 

 pamphlet on "How To Grow Chrysanthemums," which will be sent free to 

 applicants. To those who wish fuller instructions we recommend Chrvsan- 

 thetnum Culture by A. Herrington, which will be sent, postpaid, for 50'c.

The New Anemone=Flowered Paris Daisy, 

 "Queen Alexandra." 



The flowers are from 2^ to 3 inches in diameter, pure white, 

 the greater percentage coming full double, not unlike an Anemone- 

 flowered Japanese Chrysanthemum, but even the semi-double and 

 single flowers, which appear on the same, plant, are very hand- 

 some. This is a great iinprovement on the single "Paris Daisy."
