to the florets. It is a very pleasing flower, ia the way of Madame 

 Comerson and Auguste Mie. 



Chrysanthemum Madame Heme : — from Mr. Bull, Chelsea.

 flower-heads freely produced, well formed, and of a very fine 

 white. It was Commended. 



The following additional varieties were shown : — 

 Chrysaathemums:— from Mr. Salter: Lord Ranelagh 

 (Salter), a large-flowered reddish fawn coloured, or pale copper 

 coloured variety, well incurved, hut hardly full enough as shown; 

 the plant is of excellent habit, dwarf and very free. General 

 Slade {S7nith), a very fine light coppery-red, with golden backs 

 and tips, full and compactly incurved, well sustaining the first-class 

 award made to it on the 6th instant. Sylphide [Smith], a large- 

 flowered variety, having a rich creamy centre, and the margin of the 

 flower-heads rosy, well incurved, but hardly full enough. Seraph 

 {Smith), large creamy white, not full. CitroneUa [Smith], a fine 

 light yellow, intermediate, with broad slightly incurved florets, 

 but too flat. Lucinda [Smith], a large pompon, the florets rosy- 

 lilac, with white base. Acis [Salter], a pretty pompon, straw 

 colour with yellow centre and reddish backs, full, and ranunculus 

 formed, Capella [Salter], a small compact brownish-red pompon. 

 Medora [Salter], a loose-habited, freely-branched, and loose- 

 flowered large pompon, more or less anemone-flowered, but 

 apparently a good decorative sort, the colour a pleasing rose like 

 a reddish glaucous plum, with the anemone centre buff. Apollo, 

 one of the large pompon class, a flower of much depth, with stiff 

 and incurved florets, but not quite full in the centre, the colour a 

 dark coppery plum-tinted red, with golden backs to the florets. 

 Orange Boven [Salter], an intermediate light coppery red. 

 Brazen Mirror [Pether], a miniature pompon, of a brassy yellow 

 with red backs. — From Messrs. Dickson, Hogg & Eobinson, 

 Mary Street, Dublin : Lilac Cedo Uulli, a sport which has 

 originated with Dr. Nelligan, Clonmel House, near Dublin, who 

 states that, " it was raised from a cutting of the White Cedo Nulli 

 wliich sported a single lilac flower last year. The cutting now 

 shows at least 150 blooms, and is of the close good habit of both 

 the Golden and White Cedo Nulli." The flowers sent were of a 

 deep lilac-rose, and appeared to be about equal in merit to the 

 parent variety, which is now, however, almost superseded by 

 newer kinds.— From Mr. Bull; Liamant, a large pompon,
