Manda, W. A. Mandaand Mrs. L. D. Ward. None of these 

 are easily handled, apparently, except by expert growers. In 

 Garden and Forest, p. 595, Vol. V., will be found a list of late- 

 blooming chrysanthemums, contributed by J. D. Hatfield, 

 W. K. Harris and Edwin Lonsdale : whites, Ethel, Molly 

 Bawn, White Cap, Mrs. Humphreys, Mt. Blanc, Potter 

 Palmer, Flora Hill and Mrs. John Wescott; yellows, Mrs. H. 

 J. Jones, Mrs. Isaac Price, Goldfinder, Gloriana ; seedlings, 

 '92, J. N. May, Gold, Miss Eva Hoyt, Mrs. H. G. Pennock 

 and Dr. Covert ; pinks, Syringa, John Lane, Mrs. Charles 

 Dissell ; C. B. Whitnall, claret, O. P. Bassett, crimson, and 

 Marvel, pink and white.

For cultural details, there is little new to be said. For 

 large flowers, plants are grown in the houses, giving them 

 as much air as possible during the summer ; growing in 

 boxes in the open air is an advantage in some respects, 

 and is probably easier than growing in pots ; this prac- 



suppose. Larger flowers can be obtained from pot-grown 

 Plants, as was evident in Mrs. Atkinson's exhibit at the 1 

 Boston show. Field culture is not likely to give the fine 

 specimens which competition now makes necessary. Late 

 struck cuttings, last of Tune, from healthy plants are used 

 by the best growers ; three or four flowers can be carried 

 °n a good plant, but the disbudding takes up a great deal 

 01 time. It seems highly desirable to pay more attention
