CHitYSANTHEMCMS. — Our stock of both old and new varieties is the largest, most complete, 
and in the finest possible condition, grown expressly for amateurs and professionals to win. As 
a proof, we are proud to see by the New York Herald, that plants supplied by us have again 
carried off the American great prize, “ Gold Medal.” 
SINGLE CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
If we were to print half the extracts from the various horticultural papers, and the letters from 
those to whom we have sent flowers, including some of the highest titled patrons in the land, they 
would fill many pages, therefore we are convinced the following will suffice to cause these most highly 
useful and easily grown flowers to be cultivated in every garden. They are little or no trouble to 
grow; produce more blooms, last longer in good condition, either cut or uncut, than the doubles. 
In persistency of petal the single Dahlias bear no comparison, neither do they for real beauty and 
use. Further, they have a nice perfume, and for all kinds of decoration will not only add a new 
charm, but fill our tables with brightness and beauty up to and past Christmas.
