Our beautiful large cut of this superb flower we arc unable 
to show on account of space. It Is a hardy perennial which 
succeeds anywhere, and is a new flower which has come to 
stay. It is a very late bloomer, flowering with the Chrysan- 
themumin September and October. Its flowers uro produced 
In great leathery sprays or plumes, and are pure white, ex- 
n [!iFi ly eraccful and pretty, mid unsurpsssed for all sorts 
or floral work. Nothing works up so finely with other flow¬
