Text Appearing Before Image:
LOUISVILLE, KY. 45 MRS. J. M. ATHERTON. By far the best of the Chinese- type. The form is spherical, when in perfection almost con- ical, and of the purest snowy white. The foliage is right up to the flower and very abundant, large and luxuri- ant. It is especially adapted for fine specimen plants, as it makes large blooms even on large bush plants. It is of our own raised novelties and has received certificate at At- lanta in 1S95.
