his attention to the early varieties, and introduced a lot 

 quite superior to any others then in existence, nearly all of 

 them being recognisable by the name of Mytchett, viz., 

 Mytchett White, Mytchett Beauty, etc. 



Recently, Mr. Goacher has raised varieties of good con- 

 stitution, which flower freely and bloom from the begin- 

 ning of September onwards, included in the number being 

 Goacher 's Crimson, Carrie and Polly. Among the French 

 growers M. Aug. Nonin, and others, have turned their 

 attention to the earlies, and sent us some of the best whites 

 Roi des Blancs, Tapis de Neige, Savoie, etc. A few good 

 earlies have also been sent out by Mr. Smellie, the most 

 noteworthy being Hector. I have myself raised a large 

 number at Merstham, but despite all this, my ideal white 

 among early flowering chrysanthemums has not yet been 

 produced.
