The rapidly increasing number of Chrysanthemum exhibitions
held throughout the country each successive season shows the
I hold this popular Auiumn flower has upon the afiections of the
flower-loving public. Of the easiest growth, they quickly make
large bushes, either in open ground or in pots, and the mag-
nificent flowers which they give up until severe frost make
them ideal plants for yard, garden or pot culture. The sea-
son of bloom and size of flowers can be regulated bv pinch-
ing off" the buds as they appear. Partial shade, fairly good
soil and moderate watering will bring successful results.

tection.

EARLIEST BLOOMING YELLOW CHRYSANTHEMUM, YELLOW HTZWYGRAM.
Up until this year the list of Chrysanthemums has been incomplete, because there has been no early-blooming yellow sort.
This grand new variety is therefore received by the friends of the Chrysanthemum with the greatest enthusiasm. It is a
dwarf, sturdy grower, requiring no staking, producing its flowers on very stiff" stems, and blooming ahead of all other yellow
varieties two to three weeks. The flowers are very large, 5 to 6 inches across, most gracefully made, being deep and incurving,
while the color is exceedingly rich— pure golden yellow. One of the greatest introductions of the year. (See illustration. )
