Crysanthemum exhibitions. — Shows of this beautiful flower were 

 held last fall by several different floricultural societies in England, and 

 numerous premiums awarded for the best specimens. At the Birming- 

 ham Chrysanthemum exhibition the golden Lotus which gainetl the 

 prize " was upwards of five feet high, upon a single stem, clothed with 

 beautiful and healthy leaves, comprising eighteen branches, which had 

 produced eighty expanded flowers." — (Hort. Journal.) We are glad 

 to see so much attention given to this flower: it has always been a great 

 favorite of ours, and we have no doubt, were the same attention given 

 to the hybridization of the different sorts, that the varieties will be as 

 numerous as the dahlia. We hope to see something of the kind here: 

 they bloom at a season when there is nothing in the open garden, and 

 remain in perfection for many weeks. — Cond.
