each shoot; but where two are left, it is better to take 
out the second bud, and leave the third, to prevent confu- 
sion. As soon as the buds show color, the plants are 
then removed to the green-house or conservatory, giving 
plenty of air, and substituting water for liquid manure. 
We ought to have mentigned that, where a profusion of 
bloom is required, two or three plants may be inserted in 
the pots where only one is usually grown. This will af- 
ford an opportunity of cutting away the weakest shoots, 
and reserving the strongest only.” 
€. coronarium.—tThe varieties of this annual species 
are hardy garden plants, of some beauty in their full dou- 
ble varieties of white and yellow; two or more feet high; 
in bloom most of the season. KEasily raised from seed. 
The single sorts should be pulled up as soon as the blos- 
soms appear. Extra fine double varietics can be raised 
from cuttings, and kept through the winter in the green- 
house or setting-room. 
Of the Dwarf Yellow variety, Vilmorin, of Paris, says :— 
“This new variety has been obtained in our own grounds; 
it is of a low habit, forming a thick, branchy brush, about 
15 inches high on 20 to 24 inches in diameter, and pro- 
duces on this reduced space about as many flowers as the 
old variety on its much larger plants. As a bedding and 
border-plant this new Chrysanthemum will soon be a fa- 
vorite and reconquer the place which the tall variety seems 
to have been obliged to give up to other plants, more in 
consequence of its ancientness than for the superiority of 
the merits of its younger competitors.” 
C. carinatum,— Tri-colored Chrysanthemum. —Is a 
hardy annual from Barbary ; one and one-half foot hich ; 
in flower all the season. Disk of the flower purplish- 
brown, inner circle of the rays yellow, margined with 
white, very pretty. Some of the improved varieties of 
this flower are C. venustuin and Burridgeanum.
