CULTURE OF THE CHINESE CHRYSANTHEMUM. 
22. The Early Crimson , Hort. Trans, vol. v. tab. 3. (inferior figure), p. 151. 
and p. 421. Of light small stature, delicate, and apt to lose its leaves before its 
bloom is finished. The flowers are middle-sized, early, and very beautiful; they 
show a disk, and, when well managed, have ripened perfect seeds in England. 
23. The Clustered Pink, Hort. Trans, vol. vi. p. 336. Also known by the 
name of the changeable Blush. One of the tallest of its tribe; flowers in the 
middle season very abundantly; and although the flowers are but middle-sized, and 
little better than half-double, showing a considerable disk, and greatly resemble 
China asters, they make a very fine and durable appearance, standing the weather 
well, and becoming much darker by age, though less delicate. This is a very 
likely variety to produce seed in this country. 
24. The Early Blush , Hort. Trans, vol. vi. p. 326. This tall and almost un- 
equalled variety is also called the Double Blush, and Double White. It flowers 
very early, beautifully, and freely, and its flowers are large, and scarcely show any 
disk, and their colour without is light blush, but within they are exactly of that 
peculiar tint well known by the name of French white, and, like many other 
varieties, they are very durable. They have ripened seeds in England. 
25. The Paper White , Hort. Trans, vol. v. p. 417. 422. This exquisitely 
white-flowering and noble variety is of tall stature, and early blooming, and makes 
a splendid appearance in a general collection. Its flowers are of the middle size. 
MARIGOLD-FLOWERED, WITH WELL-FORMED DOUBLE FLOWERS, RESEMBLING 
DOUBLE CAPE MARIGOLDS IN SHAPE AND SIZE. 
26. Golden Bronze-hack, Golden Yellow, Hort. Trans, vol. vi. p. 342, and Bot. 
Hep. tab. 4. (superior figure). Also called the Large Yellow and the King’s 
Yellow. A very tall, handsome, and free-flowering variety. The flowers are early 
and of a . high rich yellow colour, but bronzed or orange in the buds and on their 
outsides. This is one of the best to grow as a standard, and if parted at the root, and 
annually transplanted, succeeds very well as a herbaceous plant, especially if in a 
warm or sheltered situation, duly supported by a stick. 
27. The Superb Clustered Yelloiv, Hort. Trans, vol. v. p. 156, and vol. v. p. 
421, and Sweet’s Brit. FI. Gard. tab. 14. One of the finest and tallest of the group, 
being higher than the preceding, and with more clustered and more neatly formed 
pure yellow flowers, but they are later in opening. 
28. The Golden Lotus-jlowered, Hort. Trans, vol. vi. p. 340. A very splendid 
and large long-leaved variety, and nearly or quite the tallest of this genus of plants, 
having late, pure, and deep yellow flowers, above the middle size, and larger than 
those of any other yellow kind of the marigold form, and which partially endure 
until the heavier frosts of winter destroy them. 
29. The Changeable Pale Buff, Hort. Trans, vol. vi. p. 380, and tab. 3 ; also 
called the Pale Cluster. This plant, when flowering as perfectly as it is represented 
on the above cited table, is one of the most showy and splendid of the group; but this 
has not been the case during the autumn of 1832; and all the flowers, and in various 
gardens, which met the writer’s eye, being as it were degenerated into almost buff-
