78 NEW ARRANGEMENT OF CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



flower of all its genus, although only of the middle size. The red petals 

 are striped with gold beneath, and golden-tipped there ; which tips, incur- 

 ving strongly and gracefully, show the gold in a front view of the flower; 

 which is golden likewise at its base within. I consider it the most com- 

 plete of all. 



19. The Superb White, Hort. Trans, v. 4. p. 338. and v. 5. p. 420. A late, 

 very tall, and splendid plant, with large, incurving, very double, pure 

 white flowers. 



***China-Aster-fxowered; often showing a disk, and then much resem- 

 bling China Asters. 



20. The Sulphtir Yellow, Hort. Trans, v. 4. p. 341. and v. 5. p. 420. A 

 beautiful variety, of tall stature, and free and early blooming, with mid- 

 dle-sized aster-like flowers. 



21. The Ttvo-colovrcd Red, Hort. Trans, v. 0. tab. 4. and v. 6. p. 342, 34.3. 

 A very fine and showy variety, of the middle size in stem and flowers, 

 but rather late, which sometimes shows a disk, and is then very aster-like. 

 The bipinnatifid leaves are far more laciniated than any other kind; and 

 1 think they constitute it a distinct species. 



22. The Earli/ Crimson, Hort. Trans, v. 5 tab. 3. (infarior figure) p. 151. 

 and p. 421. Of light and small stature, delicate, and apt to lose its 

 leaves before its bloom is finished. The flowers are middle sized, early, 

 and very beautiful ; they show a disk, and, when well managed, have 

 ripened perfect seeds in England. 



23. The Clustered Pink, Hort. Trans, v. 6. p. 336. Also known by the name 

 of the Changeable l>lush. One of the tallest of its tribe : flowers in the 

 middle season very abundantly; and, although the flowers .are but mid- 

 dle-sized, and little better than half double, showing a considerable disk, 

 and greatly resemble the China Asters, they make a very fine and durable 

 appearance, standing the weather well, and becoming much darker by 

 age, though less delicate. This is a very likely variety to produce seed 

 in this cuuntr}'. 



24. The Earhj Blush, Hort. Trans, v. 6. p. 326. This tall and almost un- 

 equalled variety is also called the Double Blush, and Double White. It 

 flowers very early, beautihilly, and freely, and its flowers are large, and 

 scarcely show any disk; and their colour without is light blush, but within 

 they are exactly of that peculiar tint well known by the name of French 

 white; and like many other varieties, they are very durable. They have 

 ripened seeds in Eugland. 



25. The Paper White, Hort. Trans, v. 5 p. 417. 422. This exquisitely white 

 flowering and noble variety is of tall stature, and early blooming, and 

 makes a splendid appearance in a general collection. Its flowers are of 

 the middle size. 



****MABlGOLD.rLOvvEREn; with well-formed double flowers, resembling 

 Double Cape Marigolds in shape and size. 



26. Golden Bronze-hack ; Golden Yellow, Hort. Trans, v. 6. p. 3i3. and Bot, 

 Reg. tab. 4. (superior figure). Also called the Large Yellow and the 

 King's Yellow. A very tall, handsome, and free-flowering variety. The 

 flowers are early, and of a high rich yellow colour, but bronzed or orange 

 in the buds and on their outsides. This is one of the best to grow as a 

 standard ; and, if parted at the root and annually transplanted, succeeds 

 very well as a herbaceous plant, especially if in a warm or shelteicd 

 situation, duly supported by a slick. 



27. The Superb Clustered Yellow, Hort. Trans, v. 5. p. 156. and v. 5. p. 421. 

 and Sweet's Brit. Fl. Card. tab. 14. One of the finest and tallest of the 

 group, being higher than the preceeding, and with more clustered, and 

 more neatly formed, pure yellow flowers, but they are later in opening. 



28. The Golden Lotus /lowered, Hort. Trans, v. 6. p. 340. A very splendid 

 and large long- leaved variety, and nearly or ([uitc the tallest of this genus 

 of plants; having lale ])ure and deep yellow (lowers, .above the middle 

 size, and larger than those of any other yellow kind of the luurigold
