most popular type of chrysanthemum. A 

 perfect incurve flower should be nearly 

 globular in form, and as its name indicates, 

 the floret should all curve inwards towards 

 the centre or apex of the flower. Amongst 

 the many varieties of incurves, Major Bon- 

 aff"on (bright yellow), Ivory (white), Mrs. 

 Robert Craig (white, see Fig. 2500), 

 and Mrs. Col. Goodman (blush pink),, 

 see Fig. 2502, are good Chinese and Jap- 

 anese incurve varieties that will give a good 

 variety of color as well as plants of a dwarf 

 growing habit, giving good flowering 

 results usually under ordinary conditions 

 and treatment. Ada Spaulding is also a 

 good variety of dwarf habit, and has pretty 

 cream colored flowers. 



Amongst what are known as Japanese va- 

 rieties, of irregular form, both in florets and 

 outline, are the following varieties given as 

 nearly as possible in rotation according to 

 the time of flowering ; ist. Glory of Pacific 



be the variety shown. Rose Trevena, as it 

 is a good grower and is so profuse in flow- 

 ering. Other desirable pompon varieties 

 are Golden Fleece and Snowdrop. 



The Chinese Anemone flowered varieties 

 are, from the peculiar formation of their flow- 

 ers, great favorites with many admirers of 

 the chrysanthenmum. In most of these the 

 outer florets are long and regularly arranged, 

 whilst the centre florets are short, resem- 

 bling quills, and are thickly set. 



The Japanese Anemone flowered varieties 

 are very showy and attractive, but as a rule 

 are tall-growing plants. Judge Hoitt and 

 Surprise are two good varieties of this type, 

 a fair specimen of the flower of the former 

 is shown underneath the pompon variety 

 in Fig. 2500. In color it is a shell pink, 

 whilst Surprise is paler in color, fading al- 

 most to a creamy white. Both are good 

 varieties of this type, and early flowering. 



The incurve form of flower is probably the
