On Chrysanthemums.— This lovely tribe of autumnal flowering plants is now 

 so much improved by fine varieties, and so easy of culture, and so cheap, that 

 they well merit a place wherever they can be grown, either in the open air, against 

 walls, &c, or in the greenhouse. It is now time to make selections and to 

 propagate, in order to bloom satisfactorily in the autumn. The young rooted 

 shoots taken off, potted into 60-sized pots, in good rich loam, and placed in a 

 close frame, shaded during mid-day sun, will soon strike afresh; as soon as 

 this is observed, they should be placed in the open air, repotted, &c, and finally 

 be brought into the greenhouse, &c, for blooming. No ornamental flowering 

 plant is more easy of culture than this, and no autumnal one so ornamental.
