CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
These popular, fall-blooming ])lant8 are now so well 
known, and tmiversally grown, that any extended dcscrip 
tion seems unnecessary. They thrive in almost any rich 
garden soil, are casily-etiltivated, and will repaj' the care 
and attention given them with an abundance of bloom. 
Very few, if any, of the varieties can he brought to prrt'ci 
tloa in the gardens of the North, and made to bloom bcff)r< 
frost comes. If planted in potts or tubs, set out of doors i, 
a c6ol. shady situation during the aummcr, and brotijjh i 
into the house in the early full, they »hould do well aiw. 
thrive for any amateur. By pinching off the buds, as the: 
begin to set, allowing only one to each branch, theflowci - 
will be much larger and finer than if all buds are alUuvtii 
to mature. Liquid manure applied in moderate quantities 
during the budding season is beneficial. The varieties we 
offer nave been selected from among the hundreds intro 
duced the past few years, and arc considered the cream ■>! 
tbc list to date. Wc conscientiously recommend all of them 
to our patrons. 
Prices, unless otherwise noted, lOc each, $1.00 
per doz. Special quotations made on large lots to 
parties desirous of groWin^ them for flower-shows.
