CoMMENDEP for its dii 



Besides the foregoing there v 



Chrysanthemums:— from Mr. Salteb: 8pa.Tkler (Smith). An 

 intermediate variety, classing in this respect with Progne and 

 Racine. Its flowers were of a deep rich Indian red, relieved by 

 the somewhat apparent yellowish backs of the incurved florets. 

 Only cut blooms were shown. It was a aeat-looking and pretty 

 flower. Julie Grisi (Salter), a large-flowered sort, of a light or 

 lilac rose, the florets broad, falling back, and forming a large and 

 somewhat loose flower-head; it will, however, be a showy con- 

 servatory variety. Ion (Smith), a medium-sized variety of the 

 large-flowered section, pure white, mostly incurved and of con- 

 siderable depth, but not quite full. la Belle Blonde (Smith), 

 large-flowered, white at the centre with a rosy tint at the edge ; 

 inferior to Vesta, which it resembles in colour. Lord of the Isles 

 (CZarA), large-flowered, full and high, yellow at the centre, reddish 

 or coppery towards the edge; not equal to Yellow Perfection, 

 which it resembles in colour when that is most stained with red. 

 Dido (Salter), an intermediate variety, white with sulphury tips, 

 with short slightly incurved florets ; this variety is of excellent 

 habit. Dr. Brock (Smith), large-flowered, dull, pale purplish- 

 red, coarse, the florets being much incurved, and showing prin- 

 cipally their yellowish backs. Her Majesty (Smith), a small 

 variety of the large-flowered section, blush white, moderately 

 high and full, incurved. Sagitta, a large pompon, ranunculus- 

 flowered, pale blush. Acis (Saltn), a large pompon, straw colour, 

 yellow at the centre, and slightly red tipped. Sienna, a large 

 pompon of a pale coppery-orange, or raw sienna colour with 

 fringed florets. Turhan, fringe-petalled, a pompon of a bright 

 golden-yellow, tipped at the back with red. Belle Sauvage 

 (Salter), a pompon, dull deep red, open at the centre ; not equal 

 to Brilliant.
