G^ry sai^ttyent iin^s. 
We have reduced our list of varieties from sev¬ 
eral hundred down to the following, which are 
the cream of all. Every one is a rare and grand 
sort. 
No plant has been so greatly improved during 
the past few years as the Chrysanthemum, and 
gurcly there is not a more satisfactory one in 
cultivation at the present time. Those who 
have never seen these grand new sorts in bloom 
can form no idea of their great beauty. For 
blooming in October and November, no plant 
can compare with them. For both out-door and 
in-door cultivation they are ahead of all other 
flowers. They can be kept in pots all the year, 
or placed out during summer. In a sheltered 
situation they will bloom finely in the open 
ground; but they produce the best results when 
C otted in September and brought inside to 
loom, where they will make a fine display for 
two months. After blooming they should lie 
placed in a collar or pit until spring. Wo have 
made Chrysanthemums a great specialty, and 
ho[ie to extend their culture, as we know they 
are always more than satisfactory. In fact, 
blooming as they do in November, when all 
flowers are scarce, makes them a necessity to 
every cultivator of flowers. They are of tin 
easiest culture, and absolutely sure to do well.
