after an extended trial, we are confident that they will give 
satisfaction. Out of over 200 sorts which we tested we have 
selected those named below as the most desirable, and only those that 
bloomed the latter part of September and during early October. Hither¬ 
to the great objection to Chrysanthemums in our Northern States was that 
when grown in the garden the frost destroyed most of the flowers before 
coming to maturity, but now this difficulty is overcome.

The following varieties were selected from over 40 new’ seedlings, they, in 
turn, being a careful selection of the best out of the hundreds of new seed¬ 
lings raised by Mr. Thos. H. Spaulding, from whom we purchased the 
entire stock upon his retirement from business. Some of the finest varieties in commerce came from him, and these are worthy of the raiser. 
Anna Held. A pleasing shade of rosy pink, largo flowers, can be 
grown to 10 inches, broad petals, flat flower, slight anemone 
centre; very attractive for exhibition purposes. 
Bird’s Nest. Clear yellow, slight anemone centre of deep yellow, 
>etals incurving loosely, forming what looks like a bird’s nest, 
lenco the name. A vory distinct variety. 
Florence Turner. Palo primrose yellow, reflexed petals incurv¬ 
ing with age, foliage and stem good. This will undoubtedly 
make a distinct and good exhibition variety, well grown. 
Idol's Eye. A lino shrimp pink, perfect globular flowers, petals 
cupped and incurved; very beautiful at night. 
Klondike. Exceedingly rich golden yellow, reflexed petals, large 
solid flower, stem and foliage first-class. 
Matterhorn. Pure white, reflexed. drooping petals, large double 
flower, stem and foliage first-class. Well grown, this should 
make a capital variety for exhibition or cut blooms.

marked with pink; a high-built globular flower. Fine stem 
and foliage. 
Mrs. Wm. Massie. Soft, white, deeply tinged with light rosy

York with only moderately developed blooms. 
Setting Sun. Deep yellow, shaded bronze, large broad petals 
slightly cupped, flower of great depth and substance, rigid 
stem, foliage up to flower. This is the most brilliant yellow 
we have yet seen; when well grown, it must prove of great 
value, either commercially or for exhibition. 
Wasserfall. Very good reflexed white, in bloom October 10th; 
valuable for its earliness and purity of color.
