On the Cultivation of the Chinese Cliysanthcmums. 143 



and V. 5. p. 421. A tall and large latisli-flowcring variety, of considera- 

 ble beauty, and at present nncoMinion. 



18. Gold-bordtred Red ; the Ttvo-cohrcd Incurved of Hort, Trans, v. (i. p. .V32. 

 333. Of tall stature, very lat<', with tiie most perfect and Itea'iiit'iil flow- 

 er of all its genns, altli(Migli only of the middle size. Tiie red |)eials are 

 sln|)ed with gold l)eneatli, and golden-tipjx'd there ; vvliieh lips, incurv- 

 ing 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 mile, Hort.Trans. v. 4. p. 338. nnd v. 5. p. 420. A late, very 

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

 flowers. 



* * * China- AsTKR-FLOwERKD ; often sliowing a disk, and then much resem- 

 bling China Asters. 



20. The Sulphur Yellow, Hort. Trans, v. 4. p. 341. and v. 5. p. 420. A beau- 

 tiful variety, of tall stature, and free and early blooming, with middle- 

 sized aster-like flowers. 



21. The Two-colored Red, Ilort. Trans, v. G. tab. 4. and v. (>. p. 342. 343. 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 laciiiiated than any other kind ; and 

 J think they constitute it a distinct species. 



22. The Earlij Crimson, Hort. Trans, v. 5. tab. 3. (inferior figure) p. 151. and 

 p. 421. Of light small stature, delicate, and apt to lose its le;ives 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. G. p. 336. Also known by the name 

 of the Changeable Blush. 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 halt-double, showinga considerable disk, 

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

 appearance, standing the weather well, and becoming much darker l)y 

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

 in this country. 



24. The Early Blush, Hort. Trans, v. 6. ]>. 326. This tall and almost une- 

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

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

 scarcely show any disk ; and their color without is light blush, but with- 

 in they are exactly of that peculiar lint well known by the nanie of 

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

 They have ripened seeds in England. 



25. The'Paper While, 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. 



**** Marigold-flowei^ed ; with well-formed double flowers, resembling 

 Double Cape Marigolds in shape and size. 



2G. Golden Bronze-baek ; Golden Yellow, Hort. Trans, v. 6. p. 342. and Bot. 

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

 King's Yellow. A very tall, handsome, and free-flo\\cring variet3^ The 

 flowers are early, and of a high rich yellow color, 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 anmially transplanted, succeeds 

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

 situation, duly supported by a stick.
