Chrysanthemum seed sown in the snring will produce 
large, vigorous plants by ft.11, which will give a great pro¬ 
fusion of fine flowers, even more than old plants. The seed 
we here offer is from a prize collection of over two hundred 
varieties, including all the latest novelties in all classes— 
Japanese, Chinese, Incurved, Anemone-flowered, Pompons, 
etc.—and will produce a magnificent array of varieties. No 
matter how many plants you raise, no two will be alike, and 
some are likely to be very valuable. All colors, shapes, 
sizes and varieties will be produced. The great beauty of 
a collection of seedling Chrysanthemums cannot be appre¬ 
ciated until it is seen. They are grand and are very easily 
raised. Seeds germinate freely and quickly, and the plants 
being of a hardy and robust nature, make a rapid growth.
