pink, bronze, and red, and also a few fancy, or parti-colored 

 varieties. Then, as has been observed, ehr3'sauthemum flowers 

 last about fifteen daj^s, and as the tern) from the first of September 

 to the first of Jauuarj', is four months, or about one hundred and 

 twenty days, it would take eight varieties of one color alone to 

 cover the time. Thus it will be seen that for the five self-colors 

 above named, at least forty kinds are required to meet the demand, 

 and if parti-colored varieties are added, the number will be 

 increased proportionately. Mr. Thorpe then gave the following
