THE following list comprises the very cream of the many new and desirable varieties which were lead- ing prize winners in the Chrysanthemum shows of New York, Chicago and other large cities. Besides the new sorts offered, we still have the best of our older varieties. Every year we cull out the poor sorts, and keep the best ones, so that we grow none but the best. Nearly all varieties will grow and bloom outdoors before severe weather sets in. The later-blooming varieties, however, should be taken up, put in pots, and kept in a light, moderately warm room in cold weather. In this way some varieties may be kept in bloom till Christmas. Chrysanthemums should have very rich soil and a sunny location. Give plenty of water from the time the buds first appear till they are in full bloom. The plants should be pinched back while growing, to give them a good shape, and all the weaker buds should be removed. To have plants blooming in the house, take them up and put them in 6 or 8-inch pots any time during wet, cloudy weather in September. They should be well shaded for a few days, until they begin NEW VARIETIES OF CHRYSANTHEMUMS. "Our selection from the following- list, $2 per dozen. PHILADELPHIA.
