petals being marked with large brown or golden yellow blotches, 
which diffuse into rays and veins towards the edge. The upper 
petals are upright and plaited, resembling orchids. The colors 
are terra cotta, flesh, orange, rose, pink and lilac. Pkt. 15 cts. 
Chrysanthemum Carlnatum 
Northern Star 
Northern Star 
The flowers of this giant 
flowering variety measure 
on the average 2 l A in¬ 
ches across. The radiant 
white of the petals, pass¬ 
ing towards the center 
into a soft yellow, shows 
up strikingly against the 
bold black disc, and there 
is no doubt that this new 
Chrysan themum will 
prove a real treasure to 
the grower of flowers for 
cutting. Pkt. 20 cts. 
(Illustrated oji cover of this Catalogue .) 
7 * 1C flowers of this superb selection are very large and com¬ 
prise a range of colors, the brightness and beauty and richness 
of which produce a most dazzling effect. For early flowering 
sow in boxes in the house and set in the open ground as soon as 
the weather will permit. The first sowing out of doors should 
be made as soon as the frost is out of the ground in spring, and 
later ones in May, either where the plants are to bloom or’in a 
seed bed, as the Phlox transplants readily. In transplanting set 
about a foot apart, as if planted too thickly they arc liable to 
mildew. Cutting away the flowers and seed pods will prolong 
the season of bloom, 
make the plants more 
bushy and compact and 
furnish a galaxy of gay 
and striking colors until 
cut down by frost. Pkt. 
10 cts.

all the shades found in the older types. Pkt. (of 30 seeds)
