Early Flowering Hardy Chrysanth'ms These are exceedingly fine, and are prefectly hardy planted in the open ground, and flower magnificently in October and late into November. Thev should be planted on the south side of a building- or wall, or in some spot where they will be sheltered as much as possible. In such a situation they are sure to bloom magnificently, de- spite early fall frosts. They make a border which is as brililant and beautiful as the gayest flowers oT summer. They are of the Pompon type, and very double and per- fect flowers in great clusters. Also grand as pot plants. Baby—Like little golden buttons. Very double, perfect and borne in great masses. Bright yellow. Baby Marguerite—Like Baby but snow-white. Black Douglass—Color almost black, while the tip of each petal shows a glint of gold, making the whole blossom appear as if sprinkled with gold dust. Cactus—Fiery terra-cotta, shape of at small Cactus, very free and effective. Champagne—Bright ruby-red; wonderfully colored. Champ d'Or—Canary-yellow; very bushy habit. Daisy—Great sheaves of double snow-white blossoms. Fred Peele—Deep crimson, tipped gold. Globe d'Or—Clear lemon-yellow, shaded Klondyke—A beautiful hardy Pompon of rich gold color. Mrs. Vincent—Dark crimson. Prince of Wales—A very fine pure white. Repeater^—Blush-tinted bossoms in great profusion. Salmon—Splendid clear salmon. Tibert—Crimson-brown tipped yellow.

NEW EARLY LARGE-FLOWERING CHRYSANTHEMUMS These new sorts produce the largest-sized flowers in the open ground end of September and during October. They are the first mammoth-flowering sorts early enough and strong enough to produce large showy flowers in the garden, equal to good greenhouse varieties. Dawnray—Exquisite large pink of great beauty. Snowcap—Pure white, large and double. Chrysolora—Finest and brightest yellow. Extra early. Seven Oaks—Flowers four to five inches across on stems two to three feet. Begins blooming in thumb-pots. Also perfectly hardy in the open ground and blooms all summer and fall.
