CULTURE OF THE CHINESE CHRYSANTHEMUM. 
RANUNCULUS-FLOWERED. 
1 . Yellow Indian, Hort. Trans, vol. iv. p. 330, tab. 12, and vol. vi. p. 346. 
Of short stature (in its group), with very late and double, but small flowers, and 
forms, with the next, a distinct species. 
2. White Indian, Hort. Trans, vol. vi. p. 347- Shorter than the preceding, 
with very late and similar, but white, flowers. 
3. Waratah Yellow, Hort. Trans, vol. vi. p. 344. Flowers very late, with the 
preceding, and of similar size, but has much more entire leaves and larger flowers, 
which make it a distinct species. 
4. Spanish Brown, Hort. Trans, vol. iv. p. 486, and vol. v. p. 420. Of short 
firm stature, and rather early and beautiful flowers, the size of the preceding, and 
with smallish leaves a little more pinnatifid, and probably a distinct species. 
5. Blush Ranunculus-jlowered, Hort. Trans, vol. vi. p. 328. Of short firm 
stature, and fine-formed early flower, of a blush colour, and peculiar neatness of 
form. I think I have two variations of it. 
6. Small Deep Yellow , Park’s Small Yellow, Hort. Trans, vol. vi. p. 327- 
Taller and weaker than the last, early and small-dowered, with small and blunt 
pinnatedly-lobate leaves. Perhaps it may be a distinct species, from its small 
leaves and flowers. 
7* Small Pale Yellow , Small Windsor Yellow, Hort. Trans, vol. v. p. 415, and 
vol. vi. p. 335. Also called Aiton’s Yellow. Of short stiff growth, and early 
flowering, and but little merit. 
8. Small Flat Yellow, Small Yellow, Hort. Trans, vol. v. tab. 17- and vol. v, 
p. 422. Of shortish growth, and with pure yellow and expanded early flowers, 
the shape and size of the three subsequent varieties, of which it is presumed to be 
the origin, as yellow is the most predominant colour in these plants. Their forms 
are very neat and regular. 
9. The Buff, or Copper, Hort. Trans, vol. v. p. 420. Also called the Orange, 
or Buff. Resembles the preceding in every thing but colour. 
10. The Rose, or Pinlc, Hort. Trans, vol. iv. p. 344. Also called the Lilac. 
Resembles the last in all things but colour, and is now the most common kind in 
cultivation, although introduced after the old purple, hereunder enumerated. 
11. The Pale Pink, Hort. Trans, vol. vi. p. 336, raised in Mr. Colville’s nur- 
sery, being a sportive branch from the last, and differing in nothing but colour. 
This and the three preceding doubtless sport mutually into each other, and are 
perpetuated by cuttings of their respective sports in the first instance, and offsets as 
well as cuttings afterwards ; but are all liable to sport again, from pale pink through 
deeper pink, and copper or light orange to bright yellow; but their shoots and 
leaves are immutable. 
12. Expanded Light Purple, Hort. Trans, vol. v. p. 153, and vol. v. p. 421. ; 
and Bot. Mag. tab 2256. Of middling size, and with flowers in the middle season
