EVOLUTION IN THE CHRYSANTHEMUM,—Mr. 
Martin White's suggestion to the gardeners to study 
evolution in the Chrysanthemum is one which they 
ought to find particularly easy and pleasant to 
follow. Nobody knows with absolute certainty the 
natural species from which the vast number of forms 
of the flower at present known to horticulture have 
sprung. — apanese stock on which have 
worked was already modified into shapes and hues 
correspondent w hon the dainty taste of Sasan people 
when we bega rations u nothing is 
more certain aar that in the Р а the 
gardener possesses a flower of unequalled mobility, 
vider he attempts its modification by means of 
hybridisation, or by the better, if slower, means of 
selection, is 16 to be supposed that the 
scientific interest in the process is exhausted by the 
fact that countless varieties of blooms have already 
been produced, It is а remarkable thing that 
hitherto variation has followed, taste with what 
might almost be called docility. In Japan taste is 
prim and neat, or nothing—the Japanese Chrysan- 
The elimination of the

Will any 
Au experiment is dear, try his hand 
at the modification of the calyx? And, by the 
way, has any gardener ever tried to“ improve the 
wild British variety referred to? Dundee Advertiser,
