NEW DOUBLE-FLOWERED PYRETHRUMS.

The decorative value of these New Double- 
flowered Hardy Pyrethrums can scarcely be over- 
estimated. In the flower border they occupy the 
same position in May and J une that the Chrysanthe- 
mum holds in September and October. Indeed, the 
name ' 1 Spring-flowering Chrysanthemum, " would 
not be inappropriate. Like the Chrysanthemum, 
the flowers are produced in the greatest pro- 
fusion ; they are large, elegantly formed, and range 
in colour from snow-white to the most intense 
magenta-crimson. The habit of the plant is graceful, 
the foliage elegant, and of a pleasing green, and so 
hardy is the plant that during the last two unusually 
severe winters it has stood uninjured. In herbaceous 
borders, in front of shrubs, or in situations where 
colour is desired, this plant is matchless. In vases 
and for table decoration the blossoms are greatly 
prized, and will last in water longer than any other 
flower. Forexhibitions in May and June the flowers 
are all that can be desired. 
With a little attention these beautiful Double- 
flowered Hardy Pyrethrums will again flower in 
Autumn almost as freely as in May and June, if 
encouraged to make vigorous growth during the 
summer months. 
Our annual exhibition of these flowers, at the 
Royal Horticultural Society's meetings and at King 
Street, have attracted considerable attention. The
