OUR LISTiOF VARIETIES. 
Wc pn>. ish this season four separate lists of varieties. The first list contains 
all the newest and finest to date, selected with the greatest care. There is a 
couple of dozen other new varieties upon the market this season, which we do 
not offer, believing they have not been sufficiently tested. The set of six new 
ones we offer we know to be good, and offer them only on that account. These 
have been selected when in bloom from among the other new varieties we do 
not offer. The varieties in the twenty-five cent list needs no commendation 
from all who saw them in bloom last Fall ; every one is a beauty and cheap at 
the price named. The ones in the fifteen cent list are as yet all scarce varieties, 
but every one of them is fine. The general list needs no words of praise to all 
familiar with good Chrysanthemums. 
Newest and inest Chrysanthemums to Date. 
This is the best set of strictly American seedlings ever sent out by any one. 
Single plants $1.00 each, 'the collection of six varieties for $5.00. Ready for dis-
