CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Latest Fancy Varieties 
All Prize Winners 
Chrysanthemums are of Japanese and Chinese origin, and are by 
far the most gforgrcous and eleg:aiit of our fall bloumiug plants. 
Through careful propagration they have, as if by mag:ic, so developed 
as to give them tiie unquestioned title of "Queen of Autumn Flowers.'* 
I<'or massUe bloums, grandeur uf color, ease of culture and certainty 
of flower, cither in the open ground or in pots, tliere 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 
may liave poor success with flowers to know, whether other plants 
bloom or not, the Chrysanthemum will put f'»rth 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 flnest blooms for exhibition purposes, and it is of 
these variefies that our list is made up. Every sort we offer, if well 
grotvn, should prove a prize winner.
