Annals of Horticulture. 



Conti- 



mums. 



u As an indication of the keenness of our Continental 

 brethren in this branch of horticulture, it may be mentioned 

 that a great improvement is gradually taking place in the style 

 of printing, illustrating and editing their catalogues ; es- 

 pecially has this been noticeable during the past two or three 

 seasons. The American seedlings, and importations into that 

 country from Japan, have made quite a stir amongst the 

 French, with the obvious result that all the leading specialists 

 have procured the cream of the American varieties to add to 

 their collections. It is earnestly to be hoped that this influx 

 of new blood will, by dint of careful and intelligent hybridi- 

 zation, be the means of raising the standard of the Conti- 

 nental nental chrysanthemums, than which, perhaps, in the past 

 anthe- none ever held a higher place on the show-boards of this 

 country.
