from their graceful form were very fashionable a yaar or 
two ago; even yet they have many admirers, but have 
not attracted the universal attention it was thought they 
would some few vears since, when some of our prominent 
florists raised them in quantities from seed each season. 
It was thought they would have a run like Single Dahlias 
and other flowers of this description, that seem to have 
hosts of admirers. The best known Single Chrysanthe- 
mums grown to-day are Othello, Juliet, Iago, Hamlet, 
€rimson and Gold, and America. 
TUBULAR PETALLED. 
This is not really a class in itself, but a sub-division of 
the Japanese family; allare curious and beautiful. They 
are most interesting on account of their quilled or tube 
shaped petals. Some of them are produced in regular 
formation, like Glorie Rayonnante, and some twisted, as 
in President Arthur and Lilian B. Bird. Tubiflorum 
and Mrs. Cleveland are prominent in this class. 
ANNUAL CHR¥YSANTHEMUMS. 
There are several of these varieties with white, yellow 
and purple flowers that are produced easily from seed,

mum Frutescens is the *‘ Marguerite”? of the Paris gar- 
dens, and has for the past several years been exclusively 
used fer bouquets by the florists of New York and other 
large cities, but since the flower is a Daisy, the fashion 
has about now all died out. The ox-eyed Daisy of the 
field has also been used for that purpose. There is now 
a yellow flowered variety of Chrysanthemum Fruteseens 
ealled the ‘Golden Marguerite.”’
