ORIENTAL CHRYSANTHEMUMS FROM SEED 
1900 This Seed will produce Blooming Plants the first season. The regal beauty of these Royal 
flowers of the Orient is well known. There are many people, however, who do not realize how 
easily they may be grown from seed, and that all of the magnificent new varieties were raised 
from hybridized seed, similar to that we are now offering. Mixed Types and Colors, including 
the Chinese or incurved—the Japanese long-twisted-petalled kinds, the ostrich-plumed or 
feather-petalled, early-flowering, etc. . • • Pkt. 25c.
