E. C. Jukes, and James 



The following are some of the most useful sorts, but the 

 number of them is so great that a large catalogue could be 

 made, every one mentioned being good : 



Japanese Incurved: Ami Hoste, Baron Hirsch, Empress of 

 India, Mrs. S. Coleman, Lord Alcester, and Queen of England. 



Japanese Reflexed: Avalanche, Beauty of Exmouth, Etoile de 

 Lyon, W. H. Lincoln, and Viviand Morel. Hairy varieties, Mrs. 

 Ward and Hairy Wonder. 



Japanese Anemones : Bacchus, 

 Weston. 



Large Anemones: Descartes, 

 Acquisition, Georges Sand, and 

 Thorpe, jun. 



Anemone Pompones : Calliope, 

 Firefly, and Marie Stuart. 



Pompones : Black Douglas, 

 Croesus, La Purity, and Rubra 

 Perfecta. 



Singles: Gus Harris, Jane, 

 Mary Anderson, Terra Cotta, 

 and Yellow Jane. 



Early Flowering: Mme. C. 

 Desgrange, G. Wermig, Sou- 

 venir d'un Ami, St. Croux, and 

 Jardin des Plantes. These may 

 be had in blossom in August, 



C. frutescens is the well- 

 known Marguerite, or Paris 

 Daisy, so useful for decoration 

 in the greenhouse. There are 

 now some very good varieties, 

 amongst which mention may 

 be made of Feu d'Or, Reve 

 d'Or, and Golden Gem (yellow), 

 Chieftain (pale yellow, dark 

 purple centre), Duke of York 

 (deep gold and very dwarf), Halleri, and Elegans (white). Cuttings 

 may be rooted in a cool frame, and are best taken at three or four 

 intervals, from July to the end of September : thus a succession 

 of vigorous young plants are obtained. Grow in cool pit, potting 

 on as required in loam with a little leaf-soil and sand added, 

 and flower in 6in. pots, feeding occasionally with artificial, or 

 else watering twice a week with liquid, manure, after having 

 become pot-bound. 



Attention must be paid to disbudding all the above, removing 

 all but one on each shoot.
