FLORA HISTORICA. 



These singular people have ever been cele- 

 brated for their love of floriculture, and it is said 

 that they cultivate as many as fifty varieties of 

 this species of Chrysanthemum, many of which 

 we see pictured in the representations of their 

 saloons and trellised virandas ; and, as they are 

 usually painted as growing in ornamental vases, 

 we naturally conclude that the Chinese hold this 

 flower in high estimation. And it is also culti- 

 vated with no less care through the whole empire 

 of Japan ; and the beauty of these flowers are 

 frequently displayed on the lackered ware, for 

 which they are so eminent.
