H. CANNELL & SONS’ AUTUMN CATALOGUE, 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
Is ever were Chrysanthemums so generally grown, and to such perfection, as now. Shows are 
springing up in nearly every town ; and to meet the demand for plants and cuttings, we have made 
extraordinary exertions to enlarge our stock, so that we may execute orders the same day as received. 
We have devoted quite an acre to their production, and, in fact, allotted a separate portion of our 
Nursery to their special culture ; and, as near as they can he counted, not less than 8,000 plants are 
in 4-inch pots for immediate sale. There can be no hesitation about their being correctly named — we 
have a large house (150 feet) specially lor them to develop their blooms. At the proper season 
we have a display consisting of all the best and most distinct kinds, and forms unquestionably the 
best and most complete collection of this family ever brought together, and will, of course, include, 
like all our collections of llorist flowers, the original species down to tho latest new and improved 
kinds. For comparison throughout November, this will be found such an opportunity as never before 
ottered for all lovers ol this genus. For our brief cultural directions (see Floral Guide), if carried out, 
will enable one to grow plants as represented by the engraving.
