934 THE DICTIONARY OF GARDENING, 
Chrysanthemum—continiued. | Chrysanthemum—continued. 
Incuryed from many gardens. Thongh it 
must be admitted that the less formal 
Japanese class are the more beautiful, it 
is more difficult to grow a really deep, 
well-formed flower of an Incurved variety 
than it is to produce a fine Japanese 
blossom. Not only is considerable cul- 
tural skill requisite, but a knowledge of 
dressing or petal manipulation is essen- 
tial to have Incurved blossoms snfliciently 
good in character to put on the exhibi- 
tion table snuecessfully. In the list of 
varieties only those suitable for show 
purposes are named, with the bud that 
usually gives the best flower : 
ALFRED SALTER, lilac, a deep, well-formed 
flower, must be grown strongly, crown bud ; 
AUSTIN CANNELL, purple-maroon, large, and 
of good form, crown bud; BARON HIRSCH, 
chestnut-red, a well-formed, large flower, 
crown bud; BONNIE DUNDEE (Fig. 255), 
beautiful orange shade, a rfect flower 
when well grown, terminal bud; C. B. WHIT- 
NALL, purple, fine form, the crown bud should 
be selected early in August; CHas. H.

Singles. These are particularly serviceable for cut 
flowers, being light, graceful, and remarkably free-flowering. | 
A few yarieties should be grown in every garden. Their | 
culture is identical with that already described for bush | 
plants. It may be stated that the Single Chrysanthemum | 
flowers usually continue fresh longer than the other 
sections, and damping of the flowers very rarely occurs, 
even in bad weather. ‘The following varieties may be 
recommended : 
ALICE, white, with yellow disk, large; ANNIE HEARD, white, 
yellow disk, dwarf; DOLLY VARDEN, rosy-pink, flowers small, 
and produced in great clusters, very dwarf; DoroTHy WOODER- 
SON, soft pink, large; D. WinpsoR, chestnut, large and fine ;

Incurved. Except for purposes of exhibition, these 
beantiful, though somewhat formal-shaped, flowers are 
losing ground ; in fact, the Japanese have almost ousted the Fic. 253. FLOWFR OF CHRYSANTHEMUM HAIRY WONDER.
