NEW EARLY FLOWERING CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
(Hardy perennial class.J 
A remarkable new class of perennial chrysanthemums selected from the celebrated Deleaux 
strain, blooming early in September from seed sown in March. Very dwarf, bi’ancliing in habit and 
profuse bloomers, producing 90 per cent double flowers, mostly of the Japanese type. The flow¬ 
ers are entirely unlike all the early blooming varieties hitherto known, vying with the later sorts in 
form, size and in richness and variety of colors. 
Chrysanthemums that will bloom in the open ground before frost will be especially appreciat'd 
by amateurs whose chief difficulty in growing this glorious flower has been the lateness ol its bloom¬ 
ing season. Price, per pkg., 25 cts.

fringed petals, in all shades from 
white and yellow to dark red. Price,

Forget-me-not, "Jewell.” (p.)

growth of the plant is compact and 
dense, throwing up 40 to 50 flower 
stems, each carrying a close head of 
numerous long flowering little blos¬ 
soms. There is no Forget-me-not in 
existence which produces on a long 
flower stem such a perfectly formed 
sky-blue head as the “Jewell.”
