Single forms, they are less popular than the double 



kinds and the varieties are, therefore, less numerous 



and more subject to the caprices of fashion.

the whole genus. For 

 S. catalogues. 



A, Single forms : rays in 1 series, or few series : disk 



low and flat. 



1. 27(6 Small Single Type. -Pig.ii5. Pis. about 2in. 

 across, star-like, i.e., with the rays arranged in one se- 

 ries around the yellow disk. "Single," however, is a 

 relative term, and in Fig. 445 there are really several 

 series of rays, but they do not destroy the "singleness" 

 of effect. All fl.s. are either single, semi-double, or 

 double, but all the intermediate forms between the two 

 extremes of singleness and doubleness tend to disap- 

 pear, as people usually do not like them 



2. Tlie Large Single Type.- 

 Like Fig. 445, but the fls. 4 in 

 or more across, and fewer. The 

 difference between the large 

 and small single types is ad 

 mirably shown in Gn 37 75b 

 These types are practically 

 never grown outdoors and 

 are best suited for pot cul 

 ture, each specimen bear 

 ing 20-80 fls. 

 AA. Anemone-fid. forms 



rays as above, disk 

 high and rounded 



B. Fls. small, numerous 



regular. 



3. The Small Anemone 

 Type.— Commonly called 

 "Pompon Anemone.' Fig 

 446. Fls. 2 or 3 inches 

 across, and usually more 

 numerous than in the 

 anemone type. All the 

 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 m 

 character between the single 

 and double forms. Like the 



6 Tlie Pompon Type. 

 -Pig. 450. Fls. 1-2 in. 

 across. The outdoor 

 kinds are likely to be 

 small, flat and button- 

 like, while those cult, 

 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-flowered" Chrysanthemums, 

 and generally supposed to be the product of C. In- 

 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 preceding kinds. Pompons are little cult, under 

 glass in Amer. The Pompon section of the N.C. S. Cat. 

 1896 refers to indoor types, and a separate section was 

 made for the outdoor types under the name of "Earlies," 

 with two subgroups, "Pompons" and "Japanese," refer- 

 ring to the old small-flowered, hardy race, and the new 

 large-flowered Japanese kinds, which are grown to per- 

 fection only under glass, but are sometimes grown out- 

 doors, though they are usually less hardy
