6. TJie Pompon Type. 

 -Fig. 450. Fls. 1-2 in. 

 across. The outdoor 

 kinds are likely to be 

 small, flat and button-

 indoors are usually 



larger and nearly globular. Fig. 



450 shows the former condition. 



It IS from one of the old hardy 



kinds long cultivated in the gar- 

 dens as "Chinese" or "small floweitd ' Chrysanthemums, 

 and generally supposed to be the product of C.~[n- 

 dicum, as opposed to the "Japanese" or "large-flow- 

 ered" kinds introduced in 18G2, which marked a new 

 era by being less formal and more fanciful than any of 

 the precedintr kin.ls. I'ciiipons are little cult, under

3 The Small Anemone 

 Type — Commonly called 

 "Pompon Anemone." Fig. 

 446. Fls. 2 or 3 inches 

 across, and usually more 

 numerous than in the large 

 anemone type. All the anemone 

 forms are essentially single, but 

 the raised disk, with its elon- 

 gated, tubular fls., usually yel- 

 low but often of other colors, 

 gives them a distinct artistic 

 effect, and they are, therefore, 

 treated as intermediates in 

 character between the single 

 and double forms, liike the
