EEPORTS OF THE FLORAL 



produce adequate blossoms for flower-bedding, and the flowers are 

 yellow, instead of orange, as in all the preceding. 



AdiantQmtenerum:— from Miss Claeksox, St. John's Wood. 

 A supposed new species from Jamaica, but not apparently differ- 

 ent from the well-known and handsome A. tenerum. It was 

 accompanied by a small plant of the pretty dwarf Anemia 



Chrysanthemnm little Harry {Smith) -.—from Mr. Saltee, 

 Versailles Nursery, Hammersmith. This variety, which is of 

 dwarf habit, with flower-heads about 2| inches in diameter, of a 

 shaded amber-yellow, and Commended at the previous meeting, 

 was now shown in a much finer state, the flower-heads being full 

 and incurved, forming a raised centre. It was considered to be 

 deserving a First-Class Ceetificate. 



Chrysanthemum Caractacus (Clark) : — from Mr. Salter. 

 A large-flowered sort, well filled, but only slightly convex ; buff- 

 yellow in the centre, passing into deep lilac at the edges. It was 

 considered a promising variety, and was Commended. 



ChrysanthemTim Golden Hermine :— from Mr. Saltee. Of 

 this variety, which is a sport from Hermine, producing yellow 

 flower-heads, six cut blooms were exhibited. Like its parent it 

 possesses good average properties, and was Commended. 



Chrysanthemnm Canary Bird :— from Mr. Salter. A small- 

 flowered, closely-imbricated pompon, with bright canary-coloured 

 flower-heads, about 11 inch in diameter. It was Commended. 



Other Clurysantheimims exhibited by Mr. Salter consisted 

 of:— Ariadne (Clark), tall, with loose reflexed pale blush- 

 coloured flower-heads, about 3 inches in diameter. Yellow Kingf, 

 a sport from King, tall, with very large loose pale yellow flower- 

 heads, with reflexed florets. Penelope (Clark), tall, with flat- 

 faced pale yellow flower-heads, sunk in the eye, and stained 

 with red at the edge. Diana, a hybrid pompon, with moderate- 

 sized imbricated white flower-heads; a promising variety, but 

 over-blown. Jessie, a dwarf, free-blooming pompon, with pale 

 yellow flower-heads, changing near the margin to pale reddish- 

 buff. CalUope, an anemone-flowered pompon, with coppery- 

 reddish flower-heads, paler or yellowish towards the centre. 

 Priscilla, a bright yellow quilled pompon, of dwarf habit, and 

 distinct character. The season was so far advanced that 

 several of these were fading. The varieties called Little 

 Harry and Jessie had, moreover, been in bloom for five and six 

 weeks respectively.
