780 AWAKDS AT THE CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW, 



to be wanting in distinctness^ as also was that next meutionerl; 

 CleojKitra, a fine and full light rose or rosy Llush, paler towards the 

 centre, large, full, and good. Bev, J, Dh, a distinct-coloured sort, 

 being of a yellowish-fawn, something like the colour of " G olden Chris- 

 tine ;'* the blooms were not fully developed, and as shown were flat and 

 quilly, but it was expected to appear in better condition on a future 

 occasion ; the flower-heads were large, and the habit all that could be 

 desired. Cardinal PFr5€?/ia?i, a dwarfish free-growing sort, with medium- 

 sized bright-looking deep red-crimson (chrysanthemum -crimson, as it 

 was termed) flower-heads, which were somewhat loose in character, and 

 not well filled ; Ariel,SiQixt deep blush, with pointed florets ; Aspasia, 

 a quilly deep rose, with silvery backs, not well filled ; Crcesns, a me- 

 dium-sized flower, of a dull copper colour or reddish -yellow; Holman- 

 Hunt, a large flat purple ; Lord Palmerston^ a large variety, with 

 rich deep purple flowers, having broad florets, but not enough ad- 

 vanced, and as shown, rather flat; Zaioiza, a white, with broad florets, 

 very like Vesta in some of its states, but not thought equal to it ; 

 Pj/ramidalis, an intermediate variety, very free, flowering up the 

 stems, the blooms of a reddish copper colour ; Marfjaret Vacker, a 

 large rough anemone-flowered sort, of a blush white, deeper at the 

 edges, 

 Gunnera scdbra : an example of the curious elongate cone-like fructi- 

 . fication of this remarkable herb, accompanied by a young plant with 

 leaves, which somewhat resemble the palmated Rhubarb. 



From Mr, G. M'Intosh, Hammersmith : 



Ch'ysaiitJiemum Maffenta, a dwarf-growing intermediate variety, which 

 produces its blooms verj^ freely, these being of a deepish lilac- tinted 

 blush, but without particular merit. 



From Messrs, J. & C. Lee, Hammersmith : 



^ Ahies exceha aurca, which had been previously shown, and reported on^ 



From Mr, Standish : 



Chrysanthemums from Japan ; three or four unnamed kinds, scarcely in 

 bloom, and which were expected to be seen in better condition here- 

 after. One of them, a striped sort, seemed likely to be an acqirisition 

 as a novelty for breeding purposes ; and another, with large loose buff" 

 or tawny flowers, made up of quilled florets split down on one side, 

 was very showy, and resembled a cluster of honeysuckle blooms. 



From Mr. Ivert, Dorking : 



AtJiynum FUix-fcemina : two varieties of the FrizeUice and FieldicB 

 class, but not enough matured.
