CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
Of these I aim to keep not over 50 varieties, but the vast improvement made, with 
each recurring year, renders it a most difficult 
matter to decide which of the many old favor- 
ites shall be eliminated, to make room for 
those of same color, perhaps, but rivaling it in 
form, substance or habit. By this means I am 
enabled to offer one of the most select collec- 
tions extant, which a visit to my greenhouse 
in autumn and early winter will attest. A 
more striking spectacle is seldom shown than 
that presented. Houses from 40 to 70 feet 
long, a sheet of bloom, from the purest white 
to various shades of pink, rose, straw, yellow, 
old gold, bronze, crimson, to the deepest ma- 
roon. 
Individual flowers, in form from the small, 
neat Pompon to the large, symmetrical Chinese 
_and the largest Japanese, with their lovely, 
airy, fantastic shapes — incurved, reflexed, 
laced, quilled, etc., petals slashed and fringed 
in some, in others of the most chaste and 
elegant outline.

indicating colors desired, will not be disap-

CANNAS. 
Large-floweriiig French. 
No plant has been so wonderfully improved the past few years as the French or 
Crozy Cannas, They are among tho most desirable and effective lawn or garden plants 
grown. The flowers are as large as gladioli, but much more brilliant and varied in color. 
The large spikes of flowers show to splendid effect against their tropical foliage. The 
flowers range in color from deep crimson to light yellow, some being beautifully mottled 
and streaked. The following are among the best for all purposes : 
Alphonse Bouvier. A grand variety 
of remarkably luxuriant growth, attaining 
a height of 6 to 7 feet in rich soil. The 
flowers are rich, brilliant crimson when 
first open, changing to a deeper shade as 
they grow older. Foliage dark green.

let. 15 cts. each.
