HRYSANTHEMUMS 
Latest Fancy Varieties 
All Prize Winners 
Chrysanthemum* are of Japanese and Chinese origin, and are by 
far the most gorgeous and elegant of our fall blooming plants. 
Through careful propagation they have, as if by magic, so developed 
as to give them the unquestioned title of "Queen of Autumn Flowers." 
For massive blooms, grandeur of color, ease of culture and certainty 
of flower, either in the open ground or in pots, there are no plants 
that will surpass them, and but few their equal. The season of bloom 
lasts up until severe frosts. It is a pleasing thought to anyone who 
■nay have poor success with flowers to know, whether other plants 
bloom or not, the Chrysanthemum will put forth some sort of a flower 
if the plant is only a few inches high. The endeavor of nearly all 
growers has been, in late years, to introduce varieties which will pro- 
duce the largest and finest blooms for exhibition purposes, and it is of 
these varieties that our list is made up. Every sort we offer, if well 
grown, should prove a prize winner.
