UT of over 200 sorts which we tested we have selected those named 
Q below as the most desirable, and only those that bloomed the latter 
part of September and during early October. Hitherto the great 
objection to Chrysanthemums in our Northern States was that when 
grown in the garden the frost destroyed most of the flowers before com- 
ing to maturity, but now this difficulty is overcome.

extensively for cut flowers and as a pot plant.
