LOUIS BOEHMER. 
This superb new variety was exhibited for the first time 
in England at the Royal Aquarium, Westminster, 
in November 1890, when it made a very favourable 
impression amongst Chrysanthemum growers. The 
flower is of good size, and similar in form to 
Mrs. Alpheus Hardy , and like that variety, has the 
beautiful yet strange-looking silky hairs or glands on 
the reverse of the petals ; its colour, however, is a 
charming silvery lilac pink, the petals being of good 
substance, whilst the plant is of a good sturdy habit 
of growth. This is a splendid novelty. Each Is. Gd. 
BEAUTY OF CASTLEWOOD (Japanese). A 
fine bold flower of the most perfect form, petals very 
broad and incurved, closely covering the centre ; the

tion variety. Each Is. 6d.
