JAPANESE CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
AVhen in Japan, the late Mr. Fortune 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 arc 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 diflercnce in treatment or soil 
is necessary to secure a succession of Flowers from November until January or February. Many of 
them remain longer in bloom, and bloom later than the Chinese kinds, so that wo may have our 
greenhouses gay with them all through the dull winter months, wlicu flowers are scarce. The eftcct 
produced in the conservatory by their fantastic forms and brilliant colours, is most novel and pleasing, 
many of tlieir immense blooms having more the appearance of tassels formed of the gay plumage of 
tropical birds than of flowers.
