JAPANESE CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
When in Japan Mr. Fortune selected and sent to this country seven remarkable Chrysanthemums, 
which proved exceedingly distinct in size, form and colour, from the ordinary kinds grown here. From 
the types then introduced, have been raised the following, which are still more rcinarkable for their 
diversity, possessing as they do either enormous size, jieculiarity of form or novelty of colour. Although 
of a distinct type from the Chrysanthemums in general cultivation, no difference of treatment or soil 
is necessary to secure a succession of flowers from Novembm- until January or February. Many of 
them remain longer in bloom, and bloom later than the Chinese kinds, so that we may have our 
greenhouse gay with them all through the dull winter month.s, when flowers are scarce. The effect 
produced in the conservatory by their fantastic forms ami brilliant colours is most novel and pleasing, 
many of their immense blooms having more the appearance of tassels formed of the gay plumage of 
tropical birds than of flowers.
