CHRYSANTHEMUM NOTES. 



The following notes on some of the 

 new varieties may be of interest to 

 some of your readers who cannot af-

 testing new varieties for themselves. 

 It is true many varieties are thrown 

 out after a single trial that might, if 

 kept for a year or two, come round all 

 right and give satisfaction; but new 

 varieties are being produced in such 

 quantities that a vigorous weeding out
