142 THE CHRYSANTHEMUM 



Section 3. Japanese incurved. 



All the varieties partaking of the incurved form 

 belong here. A typical selection would include W. 

 Duckham, Col. D. Appleton, Marie Liger, Mrs. G. 

 Mileham, Lady Hopetown, Merza, Mrs. Jerome Jones 

 and Miss Alice Byron. 



Section 4. Japanese reflexed. 



Under this classification come all varieties whose 

 petals turn back horizontally and droop downward 

 toward the stem, as typified by F. S. Vallis, Mrs. 

 Coombes, Mrs. T. W. Pockett, Leila Filkins, Harrison 

 Dick, Mrs. W. Duckham, Dora Stevens, Lord Salisbury 

 and many others. Such variable form exists, however, 

 that classification can only partially define the charac- 

 teristics of the class as a whole. For example, the 

 introduction of the variety Mrs. Alpheus Hardy, some 

 years ago, a Chrysanthemum having numerous hair- 

 like growths upon the petals, led to the formation of a 



Hairy Section. The class has not attained special 

 prominence, however, but these peculiar varieties find 

 favor with some who admire their quaint, bearded 

 beauty. The best are : F. J. Taggart, Louis Boehmer, 

 L'Enfant des Deux Mondes, Leocadie Gentils, E. M. 

 Grey and Queen of Plumes. 



Section 5. Reflexed. 



The varieties constituting this class are kindred 

 to, but exactly opposite to those in Section 1. The 

 flowers are of medium size, full and high, with the 

 petals all recurving outward from center to base of 

 flower. The class embraces some of the oldest kinds 

 in cultivation, does not command much attention, and
