NEW DOUBLE-FLOWERED PYRETHRUMS. 
The value of these New Double-flowered Hardy Pyreth- 
rums can scarcely be over-estimated for flower-border 
decoration. In May and June they occupy the same position 
as that held by the Chrysanthemum in September and 
October, therefore the name “ Spring-flowering Chrysan- 
themum, ” may not inappropriately be given to this plant. 
The flowers are large, elegantly formed, and vary in colour 
from snow-white to the most intense magenta-crimson. The 
habit of the plant is graceful, the foliage elegant, and the 
flowers are produced in the greatest profusion. The hardi- 
ness of the Double- Py rethrum is beyond all doubt, having 
stood uninjured during the last three unusually severe winters. 
In herbaceous borders, in front of shrubs, and in situations 
where variety of colour is important, this plant is 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 exhibitions in May and J une the flowers 
are most attractive. 
If encouraged to make vigorous growth during the 
summer months, these beautiful Double- flowered Hardy 
Pyrethrums will again flower in Autumn almost as freely as 
they did in May and June. 
Our annual exhibitions of these flowers, at the Royal 
Horticultural Gardens, South Kensington, and at King 
Street, always attract considerable attention.
