CHRYSANTHEIVttrM. In the last ten years a great 
deal of attention has been paid to the varieties of C. 
SUiennc, and they have been developed to a wonderful 
degree of perfection and beauty. Wo now have a very 
wide range of form, color and size, from the little i)om- 
pons, bai-ely half an inch in diameter, to the superb 
Japanese sorts, whose fantastic petals extend over a 
widtli of six to eight inches. The colors include all 
I shades, from the purest snow white to deep rich crim- 
j son, from wonderful shades of yellow and chrome to a 
distinct purple ; some are varied, and others again have 
the faces of their broad i)etals of one hue, while the 
backs are a lovely contrasting shade. Then there is a 
vast and unending variety of form— some have flowers 
of Camellia-like regularity, while others are like 
masses of narrow ribbons, thrown together regard- 
t lessly ; the exquisite quilled and tubular foi'ms are in 
I sharpest contrast with the odd but beautiful anemone- 
I flowered varieties. Indeed, descriptions fail to convey 
an adequate idea of the extreme beauty of these flow- 
ers. We refer readers to our special Chrysanthemum 
catalogue, sent on application, for a select list of the 
very best sorts of the day, which stand the critical 
test of the New York flower markets.
