EAELY-FLOWEEING OHEYSANTHEMUMS AT WISLEY, 1910. 



Three hundred and fifty-four stocks of Chrysanthemums were re- 

 ceived and grown for trial. Cuttings were struck in the spring, and 

 after being grown on in cold frames the collection was planted out in 

 good soil, three feet being allowed between the plants. All made excel- 

 lent growth, but a few varieties can scarcely be termed " summer- 

 flowering," being in bud only on November 5, when five degrees of 

 frost spoiled the display. The value of these plants can scarcely be 

 over-estimated for the private garden, as tliey will produce an abundance 

 of bloom from July until cut down by frost. The collection was 

 examined by the Floral Committee on three occasions.

* All trials in the Wisley Garden are carried out under numbers only until 

 judging is completed. The number prefixed to the name of the variety in the 

 Report corresponds with that by which alone the vaiiety was known until 

 judgment had been given. Fellows visiting the Garden and noticing any plant 

 under a number can easily ascertain its name later by reference to the Report 

 in the Journal.
