Chrysanthemum seed sown in the spring will produce 
large, vigorous plants by fall, which will give a great pro¬ 
lusion of flue flowers even more than old plants. 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 he 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.
