color.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
We have a fine collection of this, the “Queen of Autumn,” but on ac- 
count of the large number of varieties, lack of space forbids us to mention 
them. We have one house 30 by 70 feet, devoted entirely to them in their 
season, and as many of the largest and finest varieties as grown for cut 
flowers are not suited for pot culture, it would be better to leave the selec- 
tion ot varieties to us, mentioning the colors desired, and whether wanted 
for bush plants in pots, or single stem plants for bench culture in the con- 
servatory. 
Strong plants, 10 cts. each, $1.00 per dozen. 
Single Varieties. This type has now become very popular. In the large cit- 
ies they have been exhibited very extensively the past season, and now 
no exhibition is complete without its classes for singles. When grown 
naturally in sprays, there is a charm about them that is not easily for- 
gotten. We have a fine collection, personally selected from the prize- 
winners at the various shows the past season. 
Strong plants, la cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
Hardy Pompons. There are many varieties of Chrysanthemums that are 
hardy as far as the plant is concerned, but are of no value for out- 
door blooming in this climate, as they are so late the buds are caught 
by our early frosts. The collection we otter generally bloom between 
the first of September and the 15th of October, and if given slight 
protection during this time will amply repay for the slight trouble tak- 
en. We have them in white, pink, yellow, bronze and red 
Strong plants, lb cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
Large blooming plants of all the above Chrysanthemums in the fall in 
5, 6 and 7 inch pots, 35 cts. to $1.00 each. 
CANNAS. 
The popularity of this stately plant has been so great the past few 
years that many thousands are now planted where a few years ago thev 
were practically unknown for bedding purposes Cannas should be planted 
in a good rich soil in a warm situation, and while not requiring much water 
when first planted will require liberal waterings when -well established and 
growing freely. They should be plant d 18 inches apart each way and if 
more than one kind is wanted, care should be taken to plant the taller 
varieties m the center if in beds, or on the back if used as a background 
For a round bed < feet in diameter it will require 19 plants, or an effective 
bed is made by planting 18 Cannas and a Castor Oil plant for the center. 
Strong growing plants 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
19 plants, enough for a 7 foot bed for $2.25.
