blooms begin to open they should be removed in-doors ; and 

 after their beauties are over, they should be cut down and 

 just preserved from frost, to enable them to make young 

 growths for cuttings in the following February. The most 

 usual form these plants are grown in is that of broad bushy 

 shrubs. In addition to this, some few should be trained 

 to a single stem, and then made to form a head. These 

 standards, if neatly formed, make very ornamental and 

 pleasing objects distributed amongst other plants. Small 

 plants for table decoration are also procured by layering 

 the points of old plants in the open ground, into pots of 

 the required size, just after the flower buds are formed ; 

 these quickly root, and may soon be removed from the 

 parent ; they form pretty little dwarf plants for standing 

 in small vases, or any such-like places. C. sinmue^ from 

 which all our cultivated varieties have sprung, is a native 

 of China. 



In addition to the varieties as above referred to 

 C. frutescens (Marguerite or Paris Daisy) is now largely 

 cultivated both as a bedding as well as a decorative plant 

 for the conservatory, for summer and winter use ; there are 

 several fine varieties of this species with white and yellow 

 flowers ; these plants bloom all through the summer months 

 either in or out of doors, and if taken up from the open 

 ground and potted in the autumn and placed in a warm green- 

 house, will continue blooming all the winter. These are not 

 liked by many, being single flowers, but they are nevertheless 

 very beautiful objects, producing as they do flowers all the 

 year round.
