LAST year, in our Number for May, we had the pleasure to give 

 figures of seven handsome varieties of this very interesting section 

 of Chrysanthemums. We have now the gratification to give figures of 

 eleven new ones, which are of great beauty when in full bloom, and 

 merit a place in every collection of this charming tribe of autumnal 

 flowers. 



We are indebted to the perseverance of the florists of France and 

 Belgium for these lovely additions. The Horticultural Society intro- 

 duced the Chusan Daisy Chrysanthemum into this country four years 

 back ; and the continental florists having obtained it, commenced to 

 impregnate its blossoms by other kinds ; and as it produces seed libe- 

 rally, they succeeded even beyond expectation in raising a numerous 

 race of this Minima section : the varieties we now figure are what 

 are offered to the public for the first time this season. M. Miellez 

 nurseryman, of Plsquermes, favoured us with the figures, and he now 

 has plants for sale. These varieties, as well as what we previously 

 possessed, merit a place in every greenhouse, frame, or sitting-room. 

 They are dwarf compact growers, and in bloom are particularly neat 

 and pretty. The plants require to be promoted in growth as much as 

 possible in spring, in order to have a profuse bloom.
