NEW HARDY PYRETHRUMS. 
Plants always ready to send out , and may at any time be 
planted out . 
In May and June the new Pyrethrums occupy the same 
position as that held by the Chrysanthemum in September and 
October, therefore the name “ Spring-flowering Chrysanthe- 
mum ** has not inappropriately been given to them. The 
flowers are large, elegantly formed, and vary in colour from 
snow-white to the richest crimson. The habit of the plant is 
graceful, the foliage elegant , and the flowers are produced in 
great profusion. The hardiness of this plant is beyond all 
doubt, having stood uninjured without the slightest protection 
during the recent series of unusually severe winters. In her- 
baceous borders , in front of shrubs, and in situations where 
variety of colour is important, Pyrethrums arc matchless. As 
a cut flower for vases and table decoration the blossoms are of 
the greatest value, and last in water longer than any other 
flower. At Flower Shows in May and June the Pyrethrum 
is one of the most attractive amongst cut flowers. 
In addition to the early summer display , the Pyrethrum if 
cut back and encouraged to make vigorous growth in Summer, 
it will again flower profusely in A utumn. 
Our Annual Exhibitions of these flowers at the Royal 
Horticultural Gardens , South Kensington , and at King 
Street, always attract much attention.
