CUT-FLOWER CROPS 255 



recognized by the Chrysanthemum Society of England, 

 are as follows: 



Incurved type. The incurved type is often called the 

 Chinese. The flowers are nearly globular in form and 

 regular in outline. The florets are smooth, rounded, or 

 somewhat toothed at the top and sufficiently long to form 

 a graceful curve. A hollow center, roughness in blooms 

 and unevenness of outline, with a lacking in freshness of 

 the outer petals, are serious defects. Many of the varieties 

 of the commercial type, such as Major Bonaffon, Polly 

 Rose and Dr. Enguehardt, come in this group. 



Japanese. The Japanese group includes those varieties 

 with long, loosely arranged florets. These florets may be 

 flat, fluted, quilled or tubulated, and may be incurved or 

 reflexed. The flowers vary much in form, size and color. 

 Many exhibition varieties come in this type, such as M. 

 Loiseau Rousseau, F. E. Nash, Yellow Miller and Peta- 

 luma. 



Anemones. The anemones have high, neatly-formed 

 centers of elongated, quilled florets, surrounded by flat, 

 more or less horizontally arranged ray-flowers. Examples 

 of this type are Garza and Alpine Glow. 



Pompons. The blooms in the pompon section may 

 be somewhat flat or nearly globular. They are very neat 

 and compact, formed of short, flat, fluted or quilled florets, 

 regularly spreading or erect, the florets of each bloom 

 being of one character. Klondike and Diana are good 

 examples of this type. 



Singles. The single varieties may be of any size or 

 form, but the florets, whether short and rigid, or long and 

 drooping, should be arranged sufficiently close together 

 to form a regular fringe. They may have one or two rows 

 of ray-flowers as in Gertrude, or from three to five rows, as
