36 Jersey Chrysanthemums in the Vaiixliall Nursery. 



Art. IX. Descriptive List of Varieties of Chrysanthemum originated 

 in the Island of Jersey, and noiv in Flotoer in the Vauxhall Nursery, 

 By Messrs. Chandler and Sons. 



Having been much struck with the beauty of these flowers, and 

 the superiority of many of them to the old Chinese varieties, when 

 we called at the Vauxhall Nursery in November last, we applied 

 to Messrs. Chandler for a descriptive list, which they kindly sent 

 us as below. The splendid display made by these flowers, and 

 the length of tima which they continue in bloom, added to the 

 great facility and economy of their culture, recommend them to 

 every person who has a garden, whether small or large. They 

 are particularly well adapted for covering the dwarf walls which 

 separate the front gardens of street and suburban houses. In 

 such situations, they have a splendid appearance, keeping the 

 wall covered with flowers till they are destroyed by frost. At 

 such a season, flowers, in all gardens, are particularly desirable ; 

 but they are more so in the small gardens of towns, than in large 

 gardens in the country ; because, while the latter have abun- 

 dance of evergreens and general scenery to compensate for the 

 want of flowers in autumn, or the beginning of winter, the 

 former, when they are without flowers, are, in a great measure, 

 destitute of beauty. 



No plant is more easily propagated than the chrysanthemum, 

 or requires less care in its culture ; and, in regard to temperature, 

 it only requires placing under glass a short time before it comes 

 into flower, or training against a wall.
