OF ALL THE BEST 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
How to Grow, Dress, and Show them in Perfection. 
A FEKFECT SPECIMEN OF AN INCURVED CHRYSANTHEMUM FOR EXHIBITION. 
EVER were Chrysanthemums more 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 devoted quite three-quarters of an aero to their production, and, in fact, allotted a 
separate portion of our Nursery to their special culture ; and, as near as they can be counted, not less 
than 8,000 plants are in 4-inch pots for immediate sale. There can be no doubt about their being 
correctly named — we have four houses (100 feet each) specially for them to develop their blooms. At 
the proper season we have a display consisting of all the best and most distinct kinds, which forms 
unquestionably the best and most complete collection of this family ever brought together, and will, 
of course, include, like all our collections of florist (lowers, the original species to the latest new 
and improved kinds. For comparison, throughout November, this will be found an opportunity 
such as has never before been offered to lovers of this genus. The following brief cultural directions, 
if carried out, will enable anyone to grow plants similar to the engravings.
