HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUM. Golden Fleece. 
This is a valuable, free-flowering, hardy Chrys¬ 
anthemum, especially suitable for outdoor cul¬ 
tivation. The plant grows about two feet high, 
is bushy and symmetrically formed, and is lit¬ 
erally covered from the beginning of July until 
severe frost with beautiful, large golden-yellow 
flowers. The Golden Fleece should not be 
confounded with the common yellow garden 
Chrysanthemum that is pretty, though some¬ 
what scraggy in appearance, and rarely blooms 
until a out the time that frost cuts down all 
herbaceous plants remaining unprotected in 
the garden. Flowers of the Golden Fleece 
were shown at the Massachusetts Horticultural 
Society’s Exhibition the past season. Their 
beauty called forth most enthusiastic praise 
from all who viewed them. Each, 15 cents; 
per dozen, $1.50. Chrysanthemum. Golden Fleece.
