Chrysanthemums. 
The rapidly Increasing number of Chrysanthemum 
exhibitions held throughout the country each successive 
season shows the hold this popular Autumn flower has 
upon the affections of the flower-loving public. Of 
the easiest growth, they quickly make large bushes, 
either in open ground or in pots, and the magnificent 
flowers which they give until severe frost, makes them 
ideal plants for yard, garden or pot culture. The 
season of bloom and size of flowers can be regulated 
by pinching off the buds as they appear. Partial 
shade, fairly good soil and moderate watering will 
bring successful results. We offer the best kinds now 
known. At the low prices for which we offer them, 
every one should have Chrysanthemums. They are the 
people’s flower. 
Price, each 12c; three for 30c, postpaid.

nificent Japanese incurved with lower petals reflexed,
