JAPANESE CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
GENERAL COLLECTION. 
AVhen in Japan Mr. Fortune selected and sent to this country seven remarkable Chrysanthemums, 
which proved exceedingly distinct in size, lorin and colour, from the ordinary kinds grown here. From 
the types then introduced, have been raised the following, which are still more remarkable for their 
diversity, possessing as they do either enormous size, peculiarity 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 November until January or February. Many of 
them lemain longer in bloom, and bloom later than the Chinese kinds, so that wc may have our 
greenhouses gay with them all through the dull winter months, when flowers are scarce. The effect 
produced in the conservatory by their fantastic forms and 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. 
ADMIRANDA, flesh colour, with dark carmine centre ; a fine flower. Is. 6 d. 
ASTEROID, bronze and yellow, with a lighter back ; flower heads very large and full, formed of

large centre of bright yellow, the exterior being formed of showy red florets, and the centre changing 
to red as the flower heads expand, the florets then becoming tipped with gold. Is.

clear white, having the centre tinted with rosy bull' ; much like the common Honeysuckle. Is.

curled florets, which form a kind of drooping fringe round an anemone centre. This is a new type 
in the Chrysanthemums. Illustrated in the Floral Magazine. Is. 6 d.
