2? ON DOUBLE-FLOWERKI' CHINESE CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



Purple-colo ured Flo ivers — (con tin ued) . 



27 Rosy Purple. 



28 Wheeleriana, or Wheeler's Purple. — Of shortish growth, 



and flowers in the middle season of its group. The flowers 

 are of a rosy purple colour, and the shape is somewhat 

 remarkahle. The exterior petals are rather long, and 

 sometimes will expand, but they are generally quilled. 

 The interior ones are short, quilled, and forked. Each 

 quill is divided at the top into five points, and the top of 

 each point is slightly tipped with white. Its flowers are

39 Curled Blush. 



40 Blush Ranunculus. 



41 Clustered Blush. — A fine-formed, early-flowering variety, 



producing its very double blossoms in clusters, on shortish 

 firm footstalks, making a very neat appearance, and form- 

 ing a distinct variety from the Starry Blush, hereunder 

 mentioned. 



42 Starry Blush. — This rather tall and beautiful variety flowers 



in the middle season very abundantly. The exterior pe- 

 tals at first appear few in number, but soon expand, and
