CHEYSANTHEMUMS FOE 18G0. 



Me. Salter, of Versailles Nursery, Ham-

 logue of new and old Chrysanthemums, 

 and we find in it all the new varieties that 

 were exhibited at last year's shows, and

 bush form would be at least half hidden

 state of growth, but, for home decoration 

 and for planting out in the borders, this is a 

 better time to begin than November, and,
